01:06U's are traveling the world in a jumping car.
01:11They're heading to Hokkaido
01:14by running through a snowy country on a snow plane.
01:18I met you.
01:21The snow is turning into a cliff.
01:24Please be careful.
01:26Somewhere there.
01:27It's a minus 10 degree cliff.
01:30Will U be able to enter the wild snowy hot spring?
01:35No, seriously.
01:36I can't enter it normally.
01:38Emotional.
01:41I can't forget about it.
01:42I dream about it.
01:45A year ago, he ate Shichiren Yakisoba with his ex-girlfriend.
01:50He made a big hit in Akita in winter.
01:53Hey.
01:55I remember the inside here.
02:06U is freezing.
02:09Oh, no. I feel like I'm frozen.
02:11Hang in there.
02:13It's so cold.
02:16U is going to the dream.
02:17It's so cold.
02:22What does U want to do in Japan?
02:24When it comes to snow, it's snowman.
02:31First of all, let's go to the airport.
02:34What does U want to do in Japan?
02:39U is going to Japan without losing to the cold.
02:46I hate it.
02:51Hello.
02:52Excuse me.
02:53Hello.
02:53This is a Japanese TV program.
02:55Okay.
02:55Where are you from?
02:57I'm from Oakland, California, but I live in North Dakota.
03:00Why did you come to Japan?
03:03I've always wanted to visit Japan.
03:05I thought it was a beautiful country.
03:07The food is delicious.
03:08I literally eat everything from...
03:10I've tried fried bugs to all different animals, snakes.
03:13I've eaten them all.
03:16He loves wild animals.
03:19I ate a shark yesterday.
03:23I was in Thailand.
03:24That was a shark that I ate.
03:32That's in Mexico.
03:33Cactus.
03:38Everywhere I travel, I like to try the food and see the culture.
03:43Wow.
03:44Do you have a goal in Japan?
03:47Actually, no.
03:48I've never been here before, so I'm just going to go.
03:50Would you recommend anything?
03:53I don't know.
03:54Inago?
03:55Inago-mushi?
03:56How about grasshopper?
03:57Grasshopper?
03:59I wasn't tired.
03:59I just ate fried grasshopper.
04:03Natto is only eaten in Japan.
04:06Have you ever eaten natto?
04:07No.
04:09Why?
04:12It smells?
04:13Yeah.
04:13Okay.
04:15In America, I eat...
04:17Have you heard of chitlins?
04:19It's a pig intestine.
04:21It smells really bad.
04:23With a little hot sauce.
04:31Do you want to try it now?
04:33Yeah.
04:36He's going to get it for you.
04:37I'll try it right now.
04:41Let's go!
04:47I found natto.
04:48Got it.
04:49This is natto.
04:50Japanese food.
04:51I didn't know about natto.
04:53Yeah.
04:55You look surprised.
04:57I'm not surprised.
04:59There are some people who like natto.
05:05Is that mustard?
05:07Yeah, mustard.
05:09It's mustard.
05:15This is definitely interesting.
05:19This is not bad.
05:21Is it good?
05:22This is not bad.
05:23If you mix it and put it in your mouth, it's good.
05:27It's good.
05:29Oh, man.
05:31Why is it so sticky?
05:33It's funny.
05:39Why is it so sticky?
05:43Why is it so sticky?
05:47I didn't know about this.
05:49Have you ever eaten this kind of food?
05:51This is my first time.
05:53No.
05:55Nothing comes near my mouth.
05:59He's shocked.
06:03You've eaten a lot.
06:10From our point of view, this is not Getemon at all.
06:14Okay, I'll try it.
06:20He's shocked.
06:33Oh, no.
06:35No, that's not happening again.
06:39He's shocked.
06:43He's shocked.
06:45You did your best.
06:46He's crying.
06:48I've never tasted anything like that in my life.
06:51No, thank you.
06:53It's not good.
06:55I didn't know it would be this bad.
06:57Oh, no.
06:59It's not happening again.
07:04Natto is not good.
07:07He's shocked.
07:09He wants to eat natto.
07:11Excuse me.
07:13I'm Japanese TV.
07:15Can I interview you?
07:18Where are you from?
07:20Israel.
07:22Why are you in Japan?
07:24There is a woman named Ama.
07:26Do you know her?
07:28She's a freediver.
07:30I'd like to meet her.
07:32She's an ethnobotanist.
07:34She studies the relationship between people and the environment.
07:39So, I thought maybe I can explore this area of people and the ocean.
07:44I looked up about Ama.
07:46I wonder if it's possible those days to become an Amazon.
07:54Because it's something that I would like to explore.
07:58It's just in my mind.
08:00How is it today?
08:02But I would like to see it.
08:04Even if it's just a touristic.
08:06How do they perceive the ocean and the shells and the fish?
08:12What is their feeling about that?
08:16Because they used to freedive and fish in order to eat.
08:20I read that it was mostly women.
08:22So, I'm curious also about...
08:27Can I go with you?
08:29Sorry, if?
08:31Of course.
08:33Thank you very much.
08:35I want to be Ama-chan.
08:42Meet again in Mie.
08:45Hello.
08:47Because it's common for freedivers.
08:50I guess because the sea.
08:52It's my first time here.
08:54So, I'm just going to walk around.
09:01I'm going to walk around.
09:06It's a plan to experience the sea.
09:09It's a dolphin.
09:11Let's try it.
09:17Hello.
09:18I got permission.
09:25Here, in the sea around Kashikojima.
09:31Even now, there are a lot of real amazons.
09:37There is also an Ama-Summit.
09:44Usually, the amazons dive.
09:47Which area?
09:50Now, we are in Kashikojima.
09:53The amazons dive here.
09:57So, I would like to dive with the amazons.
10:07Lucky!
10:09I came here to ask
10:11where we can maybe find an amazon.
10:14Which beaches or villages?
10:17Sato-Umi-An.
10:19The real amazons work here.
10:22If you go here, you can meet the amazons.
10:28The amazons are here.
10:34Let's go!
10:36The contact line.
10:38There are a lot of islands around here.
10:41It's easy.
10:42I feel at ease.
10:44I feel I'm back home.
10:46He grew up by the sea as a fisherman with his family.
10:51Since I was a kid,
10:53we would go to the sea every day.
10:55Not every day, but...
11:00It's a beautiful place.
11:04What's that?
11:05It's a squid.
11:06It's big.
11:07What's that?
11:12It's a professional.
11:16I was second in Europe.
11:18That's amazing.
11:19Peace, European Championship.
11:21Under 17.
11:23I was 4th and 5th as well.
11:25In the world championships.
11:27This is how I feel.
11:29How I got closer to the sea.
11:32I was born into this tribe.
11:36The water tribe.
11:40She loves the sea.
11:42She was loved by the sea.
11:44Amazons are the water women.
11:49Especially for the fact that they're women.
11:53And they're doing it for so much time.
11:56Like thousands of years.
11:58I was curious to know more about that.
12:10Let's go to Ama-san.
12:14Sato, please.
12:18Amazons around this village?
12:25Now I'm just curious about this place.
12:28What do the people do here usually?
12:34And they still have enough fish in the sea?
12:39And do they think, why, those fishermen?
12:42Global warming is the best game.
12:48They do it on TV as well.
12:53No, they don't.
12:55This driver is answering everything.
12:58Global warming.
13:08Sorry for the sudden visit.
13:24This is a replica of the actual Ama-goya.
13:38You can learn about Ama-san.
13:42I see.
13:45If you don't mind, we still have a few questions for Ama-san.
13:49Let's bring her in.
13:53Yes, of course.
13:55I have so many questions.
14:01I'm Ama-san.
14:04She's here.
14:06I'm Ama-san.
14:09She's wearing the same clothes.
14:14I'm Kimio Hayashi.
14:17I'm 54 years old.
14:22I've been doing this since I was 10.
14:24I'm 69 now.
14:26I'm Ama-san's mother.
14:33What do you feel about the tradition now?
14:37Are you afraid that...
15:03Is it in the past or even today dangerous?
15:08What is your emotion for the sea?
15:11What do you feel when you go?
15:16Bond to the sea?
15:18Or are you just born to be an Ama?
15:37Okay, my question is...
15:50I can't stop!
15:52She's listening.
15:54I'm tired.
15:56One hour?
15:58She's in the sea of questions.
16:01I still have a lot of questions, but I'm running out of time.
16:07What do you feel when you go?
16:11Ama is so strange.
16:14It's been 5,000 years.
16:16There are three types of Ama on the island.
16:22FUNADO
16:25Oh, I see.
16:27RORIAI
16:34KACHIDO
16:38This is a tool for catching abalones.
16:41Ama-san uses it.
16:43These are Ama-san's glasses.
16:46They look like this.
16:48You put them on like this.
16:54I buy them at a glasses shop.
16:56A glasses shop?
16:58I'd like to ask more, but...
17:03Please come again.
17:05See you.
17:13I'm sure that I will go to sleep in excitement for tomorrow.
17:18I have a feeling that she will be funny and easygoing.
17:25I wonder if I can meet Ama-san.
17:27Let's go!
17:30I might see how she dives.
17:33I'm really excited.
17:41Good morning.
17:44Let's go.
17:48She is a free diver.
17:51Until the Meiji era, she used to dive naked.
17:56Can I ask a question?
17:58Why are there so many women in Ama-san?
18:02Because of the fat content?
18:04That's right.
18:05When there were no wetsuits, men couldn't dive because it was cold.
18:09I see.
18:13I'm going to call the legendary Ama-san.
18:16The legendary Ama-san is coming.
18:19I'm going to call her.
18:21The legendary Ama-san is coming.
18:23Legendary Ama-san, Kiriraru.
18:28The legendary Ama-san is coming.
18:39Good morning.
18:45I'm Hayashi. Nice to meet you.
18:48She is so excited.
18:51You remember me, don't you?
18:54Nice to meet you.
18:57I'm Shobie.
18:59Shobie?
19:00Are you kidding me?
19:01Nice to meet you.
19:02Are you kidding me?
19:05Are you Hayashi-san?
19:06Yes, I am.
19:07Right?
19:08We met yesterday in Amagoya.
19:12What is this?
19:13Hayashi-san, do you remember me?
19:21What was that?
19:22Are you kidding me?
19:23Neither of them noticed.
19:28This is my glasses.
19:31It's a cloud stopper.
19:33I used to polish my glasses with leaves.
19:40Now, I polish my glasses with sandpaper.
19:44Sandpaper?
19:45When I was a kid, I used to polish my glasses with sandpaper.
19:52What was that?
19:58I don't know.
20:11It's a breathing method to absorb oxygen.
20:15It's a breathing method to absorb oxygen.
20:24It's my first time diving in Japan.
20:26It's like a dream.
20:32Are you okay?
20:34Are you okay?
20:35Yes.
20:40It's amazing.
20:42I'm used to the sea and freediving.
20:45I can't dive in the sea.
20:49Isn't it amazing?
20:52Ordinary people can't dive in the sea.
20:59We found another shell.
21:02What is that?
21:03It's a sea urchin.
21:12She is amazing.
21:16She found another one.
21:18It's a sea urchin.
21:21I'm very impressed.
21:23She's doing it so well.
21:25It's a legendary sea urchin.
21:28She found another one.
21:34It's a legendary sea urchin.
21:41I see.
21:44She must be tired.
21:48She found another one.
21:50Ordinary people can't see it.
21:53I can't see it.
21:59I can't see where the sea urchin is.
22:01It looks like a rock.
22:03I can't find it.
22:06I can't find it.
22:08She didn't take a big breath before going in.
22:11She just went in with an empty lung.
22:13It's a very hard technique.
22:15She's very professional.
22:17She doesn't feel the urge to lower her heartbeat between each dive.
22:24She's asking a question here, too.
22:28She's asking a question here, too.
22:30She's asking a question here, too.
22:33Don't make that face.
22:36You look like you want to say something.
22:38I have a very important question.
22:40If I want to join the Amazon, how many shells do I need to catch per day?
22:45You need to practice for three years.
22:48She's going to be a very popular person in the Amazon.
22:51She's going to be a very popular person in the Amazon.
22:53She's going to be a very popular person in the Amazon.
22:57What's that?
23:00She's already feeling the urge to dive.
23:02She's already feeling the urge to dive.
23:03A carp.
23:04It's a carp.
23:09You can't catch it.
23:11You can't catch it.
23:13She got it!
23:14She got it!
23:15She's still going.
23:16She's still going.
23:19A carp.
23:22I caught it!
23:25She got it!
23:29I'm so happy.
23:36I got it!
23:38I can still become an AMA.
23:40You can become an AMA.
23:43I wish.
23:46I have no words. I'm so happy.
23:49I couldn't imagine that this will be my reality now.
23:54I'm so happy.
23:58Oh, you released the shell.
24:02You bought the shell at the market.
24:05I opened it.
24:12Oh, it came out.
24:17I prefer not to eat.
24:20How big it is!
24:22Amazing.
