00:00When you zoom in on the satellite images, you can see it.
00:06It's a house in the mountains far away from the city.
00:11What kind of person, for what reason, lives in a place like this?
00:17Oh, it says you're not allowed to enter.
00:20What?
00:21Is this even possible?
00:23It's a cliff on the left, right?
00:24It's a cliff on the left.
00:25There's definitely no house here.
00:28Did we arrive?
00:30We're here.
00:32Wow, this is dangerous.
00:33It's like a beast trail.
00:35It's ringing.
00:36It's ringing!
00:37Oh, it's true.
00:38It's ringing a lot here.
00:40The ceiling is pretty low.
00:45The skin is also handmade.
00:46That's right, that's right.
00:47That's amazing.
00:48Wow, it's chewy.
00:49It feels good.
00:50Is it like this?
00:51It's delicious.

01:07When you zoom in on the satellite images, you can see it.
01:13It's a house in the mountains far away from the city.
01:14What kind of person, for what reason, lives in a place like this?
01:15Did we arrive?
01:20What kind of person, for what reason, lives in a place like this?
01:21I'm a big senpai, but I'd like to have a house in Nasu and come to Tokyo for work.
01:29Yakisoba is good, isn't it?
01:31No matter how old you are, you can taste it.
01:34Well, some people can taste it.
01:36No, I can taste it.
01:37You can taste it?
01:38I think it's just a taste.
01:39Thank you very much.
01:40Do you play it?
01:41Yes, of course I admire it, but I'm not good at insects.
01:48You know, there's a pretty big one.
01:50It's not a normal size.
01:52So I think it's scary to think about it that way.
01:55I don't know what you mean by normal size.
01:58Here's today's Pocchunteki.
02:01Where is it?
02:02It's in the south of Nagano, in the Koshienetsu region.
02:05It's a mountain in the mountains.
02:07Is it this open?
02:09It's open.
02:10And the building is here.
02:13It's also in front of it.
02:16If you look closely, there's something here.
02:19Well, it looks like a field.
02:26It's in Nagano.
02:27It's in Nagano, so it's a soba shop.
02:30Oh, I see.
02:31It looked like a soba shop before.
02:34It's a soba shop.
02:35It's a soba shop.
02:36A soba shop.
02:37Yes.
02:38In Nagano, they sell fruits and so on.
02:43But I don't think this is a cow or a grassland.
02:46Oh, I see.
02:48And I think this is a grave of a great-grandfather.
02:52Oh, in a high place.
02:53So I think there's a scene where the master cleans up the grave and takes a picture with a drone.
02:59But this place really looks like a soba shop.
03:02Right?
03:03Can I ride this?
03:04Of course.
03:05This is a soba shop.
03:06It's a famous soba shop that many people know.
03:09That field is a soba shop.
03:11The color is soba.
03:12Right?
03:13You can ride this.
03:15This is a soba shop.
03:16This is a soba shop.
03:18They are looking for a soba shop in Nagano that they found in a satellite photo.
03:23They start their search from a nearby village.
03:27Wow, wow, wow.
03:28It's in the middle of the mountain.
03:31We're in the back of the mountain.
03:35Yes, we are.
03:37Look at this river.
03:39It's beautiful.
03:40The river is so beautiful.
03:42It is.
03:43No one comes here.
03:44No one comes here.
03:46This is the best view.
03:49It's so beautiful.
03:50Yes, it is.
03:52Oh, I can see it.
03:53That's the view.
03:55So we've arrived at the village.
03:57Yes, we have.
03:58I hope there are people around here.
04:03Is anyone here?
04:06There's someone working in the field on the left.
04:09There he is.
04:10Really?
04:11Let's talk to him.
04:13Let's ask the lady.
04:16Hello.
04:17Hello.
04:18I'm here on a TV show called Botsun to Ikkenya.
04:23Nice to meet you.
04:24Can I talk to you?
04:26Sure.
04:29Can I come in?
04:30Sure.
04:31Can I?
04:32Yes.
04:34I'm sorry to bother you.
04:35Can I come in?
04:36Sure.
04:38Is this the river?
04:40Yes, it is.
04:41I'd like to go to the yellow sign.
04:43It's beautiful.
04:44Yes.
04:45Someone might live here.
04:48Really?
04:49You already know?
04:50Do you know who lives here?
04:52I don't know.
04:54I don't know because my husband is not here.
04:57Go down this road.
05:00Okay.
05:01Go a little further.
05:03It's about 1 km.
05:051 km?
05:06Yes.
05:07There's a crossroad.
05:09Go up a little.
05:11To the left.
05:12Okay.
05:13There's another crossroad.
05:15Make a big curve on the left.
05:18You'll get there.
05:20To the left of the second floor?
05:21Yes.
05:22Okay.
05:24I'll go.
05:26Thank you very much.
05:31Let's go.
05:32Let's go.
05:34I don't know who lives here.
05:36I don't know the information about it.
05:39But he told me how to get there.
05:43If you make a big curve on the left, you'll get there.
05:46He said there's a crossroad after 1 km.
05:50Let's be careful.
05:53Let's go.
05:55The river has been flowing for a long time.
05:58Yes.
05:59The scenery is still beautiful.
06:02Yes, it is.
06:04I think we've come about 1 km.
06:08Yes.
06:09Is this it?
06:11This is it.
06:12Yes, it's the first curve.
06:14To the left.
06:15This is to the left.
06:16Yes.
06:21Did you make a curve on the left of the first floor?
06:23The road is wide.
06:25It's like a soba restaurant.
06:26No, no, no.
06:27It's a soba restaurant.
06:28Yes, it is.
06:29You're not quick to judge.
06:30No, I'm not.
06:32There's another curve.
06:36Is this it?
06:38Yes, it is.
06:40Let's go there.
06:42Let's go there.
06:43This is to the left.
06:44Yes.
06:47We've made a curve twice.
06:49Yes, we have.
06:50Is this it?
06:51Is this the right way?
06:53I think so.
06:54I think this is the right way.
06:56But...
06:57The road is wide.
06:58We can't go that far.
07:02As we were told,
07:04the search party turns left twice and goes straight.
07:10We haven't received any specific information,
07:13but is there really a person living deep in the mountains ahead?
07:21There's a grave.
07:23Yes, there is.
07:24Huh?
07:25It's a branch again.
07:27Yes, it is.
07:28I didn't hear that.
07:29We've made a curve twice already.
07:31Yes, we have.
07:32But it's a road, so it's not the left.
07:34But you said we should go straight if we make a curve twice.
07:37As we were told, let's go straight.
07:40Let's go back if we make a mistake.
07:42That's right.
07:43Go straight?
07:44Really?
07:45This way?
07:46Which way?
07:47We won't choose that way.
07:48It's getting narrower.
07:50It's just a road.
07:53Wow.
07:56The leaves are falling.
07:58It's going to be slippery.
07:59I'm scared.
08:00There's no trace of cars.
08:02No.
08:05There's a beautiful river on the left.
08:07Wow.
08:08The river is beautiful.
08:11There's a nice waterfall.
08:13Wow.
08:14It's amazing.
08:15It's cool.
08:17We're going up along the river.
08:19That's right.
08:21Are we still going up?
08:23It says no entry.
08:25Really?
08:26No entry?
08:28That means it's not a soba restaurant.
08:31What?
08:33There's a road here.
08:35There's a road on the right.
08:38Are we going this way?
08:40Can we go this way?
08:43I don't know.
08:44We're almost there.
08:46There's no trace of cars.
08:50What should we do?
08:51We have to go.
08:53We have to go.
08:54We have to go.
08:55We have to go.
08:56We can go back.
08:58There's a road.
08:59It's narrow.
09:00Can we go this way?
09:02Is this the right way?
09:04I don't think so.
09:05What should we do?
09:08I think this is the wrong way.
09:11It's a cliff on the left.
09:14I'm scared.
09:15I'm scared.
09:16It's dangerous.
09:18It's a cliff 30 meters below.
09:20I'm really scared.
09:21It's too narrow.
09:23You chose the wrong way.
09:24I think so.
09:25There's no house here.
09:28You chose this way.
09:30It's so sudden.
09:34What?
09:35What?
09:36There's a house.
09:37Isn't that a house?
09:38That's right.
09:39There's a house.
09:40This is the right way.
09:41Is this the right way?
09:43Yes, it is.
09:45There's a house.
09:46There's a house.
09:47What?
09:48I think this is the right way.
09:50Let's go.
09:51What should we do?
09:52Let's go.
09:53It's a steep slope.
09:56The roof is brown.
09:58It's the same as the picture.
10:00We're here.
10:01I'm glad we went straight to the right.
10:06Hello.
10:10To be continued.
10:16Finally, we arrived at Hotsunto Ikkenya in Nagano Prefecture, which we found in the satellite photo.
10:23This is it.
10:43This is it.
10:53The shape of the road is all the same.
10:56There's no mistake here.
11:01Hello.
11:04Excuse me.
11:06There's a car.
11:07There's a car.
11:09There's a car, so he's probably here.
11:12Hello.
11:16A few people don't come.
11:20Welcome.
11:21Hello.
11:22Hello.
11:23I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
11:25It's an old lady.
11:26It's an old lady.
11:27I'm on a TV show called Hotsunto Ikkenya.
11:30Yes.
11:31I'm here.
11:32She's laughing.
11:33It's embarrassing.
11:35I'm sorry.
11:37Can I talk to you for a moment?
11:39Yes.
11:40I'm sorry.
11:41I'm sorry.
11:43I'm here because of this satellite photo.
11:47I'd like you to see if there's a mistake here.
11:52Here.
11:55That's right.
11:56Oh, really?
11:57I thought you were here to pick up chopsticks.
12:02You mean we got the wrong cut?
12:05That's what you meant.
12:08Really?
12:09By the way, can I talk to you on the show?
12:14Yes.
12:15Really?
12:17You're welcome.
12:18Excuse me.
12:19Excuse me.
12:20It's a mess.
12:21It's a dirty place.
12:23No, it's not.
12:25Hello.
12:26Hello.
12:27You have a visitor.
12:28Hello.
12:29Hello.
12:30I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
12:32It's an old lady.
12:33I'm on a TV show called Hotsunto Ikkenya.
12:35Yes.
12:36I'm here because of this satellite photo.
12:37Yes.
12:39The couple who kindly welcomed the visitor
12:45are the owner of Hotsunto Ikkenya,
12:48Mr. Kumagai Shohei, 89 years old,
12:52and his wife, Ms. Noriko, 87 years old.
12:57It's an old couple.
12:58This is an amazing building.
13:00How long ago was this building built?
13:02It was built in 1969.
13:05It's 33 years old.
13:07Is that so?
13:08Do you live here together?
13:11No, my son lives here.
13:13Is that so?
13:14Yes.
13:15Hello.
13:16Hello.
13:17I'm on a TV show called Hotsunto Ikkenya.
13:19Yes.
13:20I'm here because of this satellite photo.
13:29Is this the right place?
13:32Yes, it is.
13:33There is a solar panel.
13:34A solar panel?
13:35Yes.
13:36This used to be a rice field.
13:39A rice field?
13:40Now it's a field.
13:42Is that so?
13:43Why is it a field?
13:44Why is it a field?
13:45Is there only one house?
13:47There is only one house now.
13:49There are 12 villages.
13:51There were 12 villages originally.
13:53Yes.
13:54How long ago was this Ikkenya built?
13:57It was built 5 or 6 years ago.
13:59Everyone died 5 or 6 years ago.
14:02Yes.
14:04In the old days, we used to talk to each other.
14:12But now I feel lonely.
14:15Why did you leave the village?
14:19I couldn't leave the village.
14:23I couldn't leave the village.
14:25So I came here.
14:26Are you the eldest son?
14:27Yes.
14:28I see.
14:29By the way, where did you meet Noriko and Shohei?
14:32They are my cousins.
14:34Are they your cousins?
14:35Yes.
14:36I'm the son of the person who got married here.
14:40My father's sister.
14:43I see.
14:45So you've known each other since you were little?
14:47No.
14:48We didn't live together.
14:52But my parents decided to live with me.
14:55So I said,
14:57Yes, yes, yes.
15:00How old were you when you got married?
15:03I was 25 years old.
15:04When you got married, did you move in here?
15:08Yes.
15:09How was the mountain path here?
15:11At first, I couldn't go up because it was steep.
15:17I had a hard time.
15:22Shohei's father's sister is Noriko's mother.
15:28They got married as cousins.
15:34Shohei was born to the Kumagai family as the eldest son of seven siblings.
15:41At the beginning of their marriage,
15:44Shohei's parents and his younger brother Satoshi lived together.
15:50When did your parents pass away?
15:54My younger brother died when he was 78 years old.
15:57My mother died when she was 55 years old.
16:0055 years old?
16:01That's early.
16:0255 years old is young.
16:03She was young.
16:04She was young.
16:06It's been five years since I came here.
16:11She was a really nice old lady.
16:13I was really sad.
16:15I cried every day.
16:18When my mother found out that I was still young,
16:22she bought me something to eat.
16:27She taught me everything.
16:34I can't forget how sad I was.
16:39Did Noriko take care of you?
16:42Yes.
16:43I did what my grandmother did.
16:46I listened to my grandfather.
16:49What kind of father were you?
16:51He was a strict father.
16:56He told me what to do and what not to do.
17:02What did you do for a living?
17:05I was a butcher.
17:07What did you make for a living?
17:10Konnyaku.
17:12Konnyaku.
17:13I was a farmer.
17:15I was a farmer.
17:17I made a lot of rice, but I lost half of it.
17:20I see.
17:21So this was not the land of Kumagai.
17:23That's right.
17:24I see.
17:25Did you ship the rice?
17:27No, I didn't ship it.
17:29I just ate it.
17:32I was a farmer.
17:35I had a family.
17:37What else did you do?
17:39I made konnyaku.
17:41Konnyaku?
17:42Yes, I made konnyaku.
17:44I see.
17:45How much konnyaku can you sell?
17:48About 150 yen.
17:52150 yen?
17:53Yes.
17:54How much?
17:5514 kg.
17:5614 kg?
17:57I used to be a farmer.
18:00That's about 14 kg.
18:01Yes.
18:02I see.
18:03That was your family business.
18:05That's right.
18:06Noriko, did you help Akira with his family business?
18:11Yes, I did.
18:13It was hard to make konnyaku.
18:16What did you do to make konnyaku?
18:19I planted konnyaku and disinfected it.
18:22In winter, I stored konnyaku in a storage room.
18:25Konnyaku is made of small pieces of raw konnyaku.
18:30Konnyaku is made bigger every year.
18:34Did you ship konnyaku?
18:36Yes, I did.
18:37Konnyaku is made of small pieces of konnyaku.
18:41I made konnyaku from 5 to 7 pieces of konnyaku.
18:45I see.
18:46It looks like konnyaku from the Edo period.
18:48Did you make anything else besides konnyaku?
18:50I made shiitake mushrooms.
18:51Shiitake mushrooms?
18:52Yes.
18:53Did you make them from raw wood?
18:54Yes, I did.
18:55I cut raw wood,
18:57sowed konnyaku,
18:58and dried mushrooms.
19:03I sold them for 2,000 to 3,000 yen per kilogram.
19:08You sold dried shiitake mushrooms?
19:11Yes, I did.
19:12I sold them for 130,000 yen.
19:14130,000 yen?
19:15Did you sell a lot of shiitake mushrooms?
19:18I sold shiitake mushrooms and konnyaku.
19:21Konnyaku?
19:22I used to sell fish.
19:24Did you sell fish?
19:25Yes, I did.
19:27Did you sell fish to eat?
19:28No, I didn't.
19:29Did you sell fish to eat?
19:31No, I didn't.
19:33You really sold a lot of fish.
19:35Where did you buy fish?
19:37I made a pond.
19:39Did you make a pond?
19:40Yes, I did.
19:41It's in the mountains.
19:42Is it a little higher?
19:43It was in the mountains.
19:45Is it gone now?
19:46I don't think it's in shape now.
19:48I see.
19:49What did you do for a living?
19:52I worked as an electrician.
19:54I made electrical components related to resistors.
20:00Did you work as an electrician?
20:02Yes, I did.
20:03I made something necessary to assemble resistors.
20:07Did you make a precision machine?
20:09Yes, I did.
20:10I worked as an electrician for 26 years.
20:15I did farm work for an hour and a half a day at work.
20:19Did you work as an electrician?
20:20Yes, I did.
20:21I worked at night for 12 hours.
20:25When I got home, I took a nap for 12 hours.
20:31When I woke up, I did farm work.
20:33I sold konnyaku.
20:35I did a lot of different jobs.
20:37Even if you came back from the night shift in the morning,
20:40did you do farm work right after you took a nap for 3 hours?
20:43Yes, I did.
20:44Wow.
20:45That's amazing.
20:48While watching over his parents in their late 80s,
20:54Masakatsu, the son of the Kumagai family,
20:57who lives in a small house in the mountains,
21:01What do you do for a living, Masakatsu?
21:04Well, I don't have a job here.
21:09Oh, you're a postman, right?
21:11Yes.
21:12I'm not an employee.
21:16Oh, I see.
21:17I got a job as a postman.
21:21I went to the post office,
21:23took care of the post office,
21:24and delivered it to a designated post office.
21:26Do you go to the post office every day?
21:28Yes, I do.
21:29From here to the car?
21:30That narrow road.
21:32Oh, this road?
21:34I climbed a narrow road on my way here.
21:38I was wondering if this was the right way.
21:40That's right. It's a pretty bad road.
21:43I was a little worried, but I finally made it.
21:48Masakatsu, when you were a kid...
21:51There was no road for cars.
21:53Oh, really?
21:54I think I was in elementary school.
21:58I remember going home from school.
22:02Is elementary school near here?
22:05There's a station in elementary school.
22:08It's about three kilometers away.
22:11Did you go home on foot?
22:13Yes, I did.
22:14How long does it take to get there?
22:15I think it takes about 30 minutes.
22:18In the winter, I used to ride a sled down the slope.
22:21I used to pull the sled down the slope.
22:24Really?
22:25I used to go down the slope.
22:26That's amazing.
22:27Was it snowing?
22:29It was snowing a lot here.
22:32Did you go down the snow-covered mountain road on a sled?
22:36Yes, I did.
22:38Was that when you were in elementary school?
22:39Yes, it was.
22:40You look like you were having fun.
22:42You have a good spirit.
22:45My father made this sled for me.
22:49He made a sled with bamboo sticks and wood.
22:54Is it handmade?
22:56Yes, it is.
22:58I think it was snowing a lot.
23:00I think it was skiing.
23:02Really?
23:03Did you do it?
23:05I like skiing.
23:08Did you make it yourself?
23:10Yes, I did.
23:12You put it on your feet?
23:13Yes, I did.
23:15I put it on my feet and tied it with a wire.
23:20I made it so that it wouldn't slip and fall.
23:22You made it?
23:23Yes, I did.
23:28Viewers,
23:30From now on, at 10.15 p.m.,
23:33Someone might do something to the president again.
23:36I'm glad I met Kaede.
23:37I was really happy.
23:39Goodbye, Oresto.
23:43In the middle of the field,
23:45where the mountain slope is cut open,
23:49there is a small house called Kumagai-ken.
23:52It is a house with a main color tatami and an old tile roof.
23:58Masakatsu, the son of the president,
24:01who lives with his parents,
24:03guided us to this house.
24:05This building is a bathroom and a bathroom.
24:09Is this a bathroom?
24:11Yes, this is a bathroom.
24:13That's a bathroom.
24:15Do you always take a bath there?
24:17Yes, I do.
24:18I also take a shower there.
24:20I can see the roof of the river.
24:23There was no building here in the past.
24:27Is that so?
24:29The building itself is over there.
24:32My father's brother was a carpenter.
24:37He built this house for me.
24:39Is this a farm?
24:41It's a farm.
24:43This is a kitchen.
24:45People used to raise cows here in the past.
24:49Oh, cows.
24:51People used to raise cows here.
24:53Did people raise cows here?
24:54Yes.
24:55But there were no cows when I lived here.
24:59Before I was born,
25:01I heard that people used to raise cows here.
25:05I used to raise a horse.
25:07Is that so?
25:08There was a stable up there.
25:10It's not a stable now,
25:12but I don't use it now.
25:15Is that so?
25:16How many cows do you have?
25:17It's not that hard.
25:19I have one cow and one horse.
25:21I see.
25:22It's good to have a farm.
25:23When the cows grow up,
25:25I sell them and raise them again.
25:29Did you raise cows for that?
25:31Yes.
25:33Did you have a farm?
25:35No, I didn't.
25:37I see.
25:38I couldn't have a farm with cows and horses.
25:42Is that because there's a slope?
25:44Yes.
25:45I see.
25:46I put the grass that the cows graze on the field.
25:52Do you make them step on it?
25:53Yes.
25:54I mix it with powder.
25:57If you mix it with powder and grass,
25:59it can be used in the field.
26:01I see.
26:03What is that?
26:05It's a boiler.
26:07It's a boiler.
26:09What is that?
26:11This is...
26:13I bring water from the river and store it.
26:18Do you wash vegetables?
26:19Can you drink this water?
26:21I used to drink it.
26:23But now, I don't boil it and drink it.
26:27Do you use this water in your daily life?
26:30I have this now.
26:32Is that a heating device?
26:34No, it's just a boiler.
26:38It's solar.
26:39Solar?
26:40I see.
26:41It's solar.
26:43The water that comes from the river...
26:46The water is stored here.
26:48I use a hose to heat it.
26:51Do you heat it?
26:52Yes, I do.
26:53Is it okay if it rains?
26:55If it rains, the temperature drops.
26:59So, I use oil to heat it.
27:01I see.
27:03When it rains and the sun is weak,
27:05you use oil to heat it?
27:07Yes, I do.
27:08I see.
27:09This is a bath.
27:11Do you use hot water from here?
27:13Yes, I do.
27:14I see.
27:16In the old days, we didn't have solar.
27:21We used firewood to heat the bath.
27:25Do you use firewood at the entrance?
27:27Yes, we do.
27:28Even now, we use oil and firewood to heat the bath.
27:33I see.
27:35There are a lot of firewood.
27:37Firewood is important.
27:38Is this firewood split?
27:40Yes, my brother split it for me.
27:44There are a lot of firewood,
27:46but we only use firewood for the bath.
27:48I see.
27:50While listening to Mr. Masakatsu's story,
27:54there is...
27:59A car.
28:00Welcome.
28:03I see some people walking.
28:05I see some people walking.
28:06I see some people walking.
28:07I see some people walking.
28:08I see some people walking.
28:09There is a car carrying firewood in the back.
28:12A car is climbing a tree in the back.
28:16Hello.
28:17Hello.
28:18There are a lot of people.
28:21Hello.
28:22Hello.
28:23I saw you on TV.
28:26I see.
28:27I saw you on TV.
28:28I was just listening to your story.
28:32Hello.
28:33Hello.
28:34Are you a family?
28:35No, we are not.
28:36Are you a family?
28:37I see.
28:38Are you here with your friends?
28:39Yes, we are here with our friends.
28:41What are you doing here today?
28:43We are here to pick up firewood.
28:45I see.
28:46I see.
28:47I see.
28:48I see.
28:49I brought all the firewood.
28:53Mr. Shinozaki's family came from Kumoto.
28:58They come here every year to pick up firewood for Kumagai.
29:04Do you come here often?
29:05Yes.
29:07I'm going to pick up firewood.
29:08Firewood?
29:09I'm going to pick up firewood.
29:10Please.
29:11Please.
29:12Please.
29:13Please.
29:14Please.
29:15Please.
29:16I'm going to pick up firewood.
29:17Instead of picking up firewood,
29:19Mr. Shinozaki brought his own rice paddy
29:23and fresh vegetables from the field.
29:29Hello.
29:30Excuse me.
29:32I'm going to pick up rice and turnip.
29:35Thank you very much.
29:37I'm sorry for the noise.
29:39You didn't bring grass, did you?
29:41It's okay.
29:42It might be hard to pick up firewood.
29:43Okay.
29:44Let's go from the top.
29:45From the top.
29:46Is there a lot of firewood?
29:48Yes, if you look from here, you can see it.
29:51All the firewood on this tree.
29:54That's right.
29:55We picked up a lot of firewood.
29:58We picked up a lot of firewood.
30:01It must be hard to pick up firewood.
30:04We picked up firewood and turned it into dried persimmon.
30:07Is that so?
30:08In the old days, my wife and I used to peel persimmon and make dried persimmon.
30:14Oh, I see.
30:15But I'm getting old and I can't do that anymore.
30:19That's why you brought it to everyone.
30:21There was someone who wanted it, so I said,
30:24Here you go.
30:26What kind of relationship do you have with Mr. Shinozaki?
30:29We're friends.
30:32He moved from another prefecture a few years ago.
30:36Oh, I see.
30:37He likes agriculture.
30:41It must be an event for the family every year.
30:44It looks delicious.
30:46When I went up to the field behind the house,
30:49I passed by a persimmon tree where most of the fruit had fallen.
30:54It's a low tree.
30:56The persimmon hunting team heads to the rustling pine forest.
31:02It seems that there are persimmon trees in the back of the forest.
31:08Is this persimmon delicious?
31:10It's a little small, but I can get a lot.
31:13It's delicious.
31:18It's pretty deep.
31:20Wow, it's dangerous here.
31:22It's like a dead end.
31:24I'm doing it.
31:27There are a lot of persimmon trees.
31:29There are a lot of persimmon trees here.
31:32There are a lot of persimmon trees here.
31:36I'll do my best.
31:41Wow, it's so high.
31:43I got a persimmon tree.
31:46The high tree is the opponent, so the high branch cutting scissors are very effective.
31:53If you cut the persimmon tree at the tip of the branch,
31:59Cut the long part and leave it at the T-shape.
32:02Leave the branch.
32:03If you don't leave the branch, you can't cut it.
32:06Oh, I see.
32:08I see.
32:15Do you like persimmon?
32:17This is a persimmon, so I cut it into a star shape.
32:22Is persimmon delicious?
32:24It's sweet.
32:25Take this stick first.
32:27Everyone is looking forward to it, but the persimmon cutting is over in about two hours.
32:33It's delicious to eat persimmon after doing this.
32:37Thank you very much.
32:39I ate a lot.
32:40I'm glad you brought it.
32:43Did you get a lot?
32:44Yes, I got a lot.
32:46Wow, that's a lot.
32:48Thank you very much.
32:50Thank you very much.
32:51I got a lot.
32:52I'm glad you brought it.
32:53I'm glad you brought it.
32:54It's softened.
32:56There were a lot of good ones that didn't sell.
33:01Thank you very much.
33:03Thank you very much.
33:04Thank you very much.
33:05It just happens to come.
33:07He said he was going to come.
33:09Oh, I see.
33:12The persimmon that was harvested that day was cut into a star shape and shared with the people of the village.
33:20After seeing off one persimmon hunter, Noriko got off the car and headed for the field in front of the house where she takes care of herself.
33:34I wonder what she's going to make.
33:36That's a great Chinese cabbage.
33:38It's delicious, but the bugs are eating it.
33:43It's delicious, isn't it?
33:45Don't worry about it.
33:46It's good to put medicine on it.
33:48Oh, I see.
33:49That's why the bugs can eat it.
33:51That's right.
33:52But it's a big size.
33:54Have you harvested it yet?
33:56I haven't harvested a single one yet.
33:58But in terms of time?
34:00I think it's good.
34:02How do you eat it?
34:03Pickles are the best.
34:05Pickles.
34:06It's a hot pot dish.
34:09What's that line in the back?
34:12This is green onion.
34:14This is onion.
34:16I just planted it.
34:18This is spinach.
34:20This is Komatsuna.
34:22This year, eggplant is in need.
34:25Eggplant?
34:26How often do you do field work?
34:29Every day.
34:30I do it every day.
34:33It's fun to do field work.
34:35It's worth doing.
34:37I make my own food.
34:40Did you make your own vegetables?
34:42Yes.
34:48I like Maru.
34:50It's a couple's garden.
34:51This one has a different atmosphere.
34:53It's a mossy garden.
34:54A mossy garden.
34:55If you want to see Potsunto Ikkenya one more time,
34:58click on the key bar.
35:00If you register as a favorite,
35:02it will be even more convenient.
35:06At the end of the year,
35:08the eldest son and the eldest daughter who live in Iida City next door
35:11are going to die in the grave.
35:14One month after the first visit,
35:17the search party will once again
35:19head to Potsunto Ikkenya in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture
35:23and head to Kumagai Prefecture.
35:28It's getting cold.
35:30It's cold.
35:31The temperature has dropped a lot since we came up here.
35:34It started snowing when we came up here.
35:36Yes.
35:37The temperature changes like this in just a month.
35:40Oh, a car.
35:42There's a different car parked.
35:44Really?
35:45Is it already here?
35:48Excuse me.
35:51Hello.
35:55Yes.
35:56Hello.
35:58Hello.
35:59We're saying goodbye.
36:00Good morning.
36:01Good morning.
36:03It's been a while.
36:04It was really cold.
36:06It was really cold.
36:07Hello.
36:08Nice to meet you.
36:09I'm Sakaguchi from Potsunto Ikkenya.
36:12Nice to meet you.
36:13Nice to meet you.
36:14I'm Yoko, the daughter.
36:16Yoko?
36:17Yes.
36:18Nice to meet you.
36:19Hello.
36:20Hello.
36:21He's my husband.
36:22Oh, your husband.
36:23Nice to meet you.
36:24Nice to meet you.
36:25Nice to meet you.
36:26Does Yoko come here often?
36:29We go to the hospital together.
36:31I see.
36:32It's cold. Please come in.
36:35Please come in.
36:36Can I come in?
36:38Yes, please.
36:40Excuse me.
36:42It's been a while.
36:44Nice to meet you.
36:46Nice to meet you.
36:48The ceiling is quite low.
36:53The ceiling.
36:54It's true.
36:55It's really low.
36:56It's true.
36:57How high is it?
36:58It's only 170 cm, right?
37:00It's true.
37:01I'm 180 cm tall.
37:06It's quite low.
37:07Was this originally a shibuya?
37:09I think so.
37:11Did you raise the floor when it was a shibuya?
37:14The floor is raised.
37:16The floor is raised.
37:18I think so.
37:20Hello.
37:21Hello.
37:22I'm sorry to bother you.
37:25Sorry to keep you waiting.
37:27This is Kazuhiro, the eldest son.
37:29Nice to meet you.
37:30Nice to meet you.
37:32Does Kazuhiro come here often?
37:34Yes, he does.
37:35It's getting cold.
37:37He comes here on weekends.
37:41The three brothers are all here.
37:45I'm glad.
37:46Shouhei, who has a bad leg, stays at home.
37:51Noriko's mother, Yoko's husband, and Hiroshi are here.
37:58They are going to the grave at the top of Shikichi.
38:02It's a grave.
38:03It's a grave.
38:04I've been on this show for a long time.
38:06It's wonderful.
38:07I could tell at a glance.
38:09There was a road up there.
38:11Is this a road for graves?
38:13There was a rice field and a field over there.
38:16There was a road up there.
38:18There were a lot of graves.
38:20It's a steep road to the grave.
38:23It's steep.
38:24Are you okay?
38:26I'm sorry.
38:27I'm fine.
38:28I'm fine.
38:30Be careful.
38:31It's dangerous.
38:33It was a steep road.
38:35It was a steep road.
38:37I can see the grave.
38:39It's a beautiful grave.
38:41I didn't clean it.
38:43I'm sorry.
38:46It's hard to go up the steep road when you get old.
38:50Noriko is sorry for her ancestors that she couldn't come to the grave.
38:56It's hard.
38:59It's been a long time since this day opened.
39:03All the parents and children were able to visit the grave.
39:08This is the grave of the first generation.
39:11This is the grave of Mr. and Mrs. Akira.
39:16This is the grave of the second generation.
39:19I built it all together.
39:22I built this for 25 years.
39:26I built this for 25 years.
39:30Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Akira.
39:35Mr. and Mrs. Kumagai's family finished visiting the grave.
39:43When they got home, they all went to the kitchen and started cooking.
39:51I'm going to make dumplings.
39:53Dumplings?
39:54I make dumplings every year.
39:56Do you make dumplings every year?
39:57I make dumplings every year.
40:00Why do you make dumplings?
40:02I learned how to make dumplings in Manchuria when I went to the war.
40:09I can't forget it.
40:12Did you learn how to make dumplings when you went to the war in Manchuria?
40:17Yes.
40:19The Manchurian Incident broke out in 1936.
40:24The Japanese army occupied the northeast part of China.
40:29At that time, Mr. Akira, the father of Mr. and Mrs. Kumagai, also went to Manchuria.
40:36He learned how to make dumplings from the local Chinese.
40:44It is said that it is an annual event for the Kumagai family to make dumplings together with their family.
40:55It's well-preserved.
41:01You learned how to make dumplings from Mr. and Mrs. Akira, right?
41:06Yes.
41:07Can everyone make dumplings?
41:09Yes.
41:10That's great.
41:12You make dumplings every year.
41:14I eat dumplings every year on New Year's Day.
41:18Is there any difference between dumplings in Manchuria and dumplings in Japan?
41:23I don't know.
41:25We used to call it pork dumplings.
41:27We used to call it pork dumplings.
41:30Really?
41:31We didn't call it dumplings in Japan.
41:34We called it pork dumplings.
41:36Pork dumplings?
41:37Yes.
41:38Do you make dumplings by hand?
41:40Yes.
41:41That's great.
41:42How do you make dumplings?
41:44I add a little water and salt to the flour.
41:48It's amazing that you make dumplings from the skin.
41:50I make a lot of dumplings.
41:52How many dumplings can you make?
41:53I can make about 300 dumplings.
41:55300 dumplings?
41:57How many people are there in your family?
41:58I wonder if I can eat all the dumplings.
42:00I can eat about 20 dumplings per person.
42:04It takes time to make 300 dumplings.
42:08I think so, too.
42:11What is the difference in ingredients?
42:14The ingredients are simple.
42:15All I need is ginger, garlic, and water.
42:20Would you like to make dumplings?
42:21Can I make dumplings?
42:23I'm sorry.
42:25Please let me help you.
