00:00Sandoichi Moto! Ashida Mano no Hakase-chan!
00:05Congratulations!
00:07Tonight is Hakase-chan special, where we meet people who are disappearing all over Japan!
00:14Right now, the local routes are in danger of being closed due to the effects of the Akaji and Kasoka.
00:19But in the midst of all this...
00:22Wow!
00:25Wow, what is this?
00:27With just one idea, the direction of the wind has changed!
00:30Let's take a thorough look at the local routes!
00:34We'll run slowly!
00:36Run slowly?
00:37There's someone on the left!
00:39There's someone on the left? What's that?
00:41There he is!
00:45Wow!
00:46This is fun!
00:47This is a good idea!
00:49I want to ride all of them!
00:51I want to ride all of them!
00:53Now, the first thing to look at is...
00:56It's a traffic light.
00:58A big black traffic light.
01:00That's amazing.
01:02It's been replaced.
01:04Matsuura Lens.
01:06It's been replaced by Kero Lens.
01:08The blue lens is dirty.
01:12Is it my fault?
01:13It's not dirty.
01:18It's been replaced by this.
01:23It's been replaced by this.
01:26It's been replaced by this.
01:27Because they love the traffic light so much,
01:29they bought it on an app and got it for free.
01:31The room is filled with traffic lights.
01:34The traffic light Hakase brothers, Riku and Sora.
01:38And...
01:40San-nan Kai-kun, 6 years old,
01:42was also educated by the older brothers.
01:47The traffic light Hakase brothers were born!
01:51It's interesting.
01:52The three brothers.
01:54The three brothers went to all over the country
01:56in search of a very rare traffic light.
02:01Miyagi also came.
02:02I'm going to take all the pictures.
02:05It's amazing.
02:06It's a real UFO.
02:08This is not available now.
02:12What they especially like is
02:14a retro traffic light that has been around for a long time.
02:19It's changed.
02:20It's changed.
02:22It's been replaced.
02:23I'm shocked.
02:25It's been 5 years.
02:26Yes.
02:27The LED of the traffic light is accelerating in Reiwa.
02:31The retro traffic light that they love
02:33is destined to be removed.
02:35It's getting less and less.
02:37They have to go see it as soon as possible
02:40and take pictures of it.
02:43That's why it's so popular.
02:45It may be around your house.
02:48The 6th episode of the very rare traffic light tour
02:52of the traffic light Hakase.
02:55Good morning.
02:58Where are we going today?
03:00We're going to Osaka, our hometown.
03:02Osaka?
03:03Yes.
03:05This time, they're going to Osaka,
03:07the hometown of the traffic light brothers.
03:10The reason is...
03:12It's a rumor.
03:15Next year, there will be Osaka Expo.
03:18The LED traffic light is accelerating.
03:21That's what the rumor is.
03:23I think all the retro traffic lights will be gone soon.
03:27There are many traffic lights in Osaka,
03:29and the number is the third highest nationwide.
03:33The LED efficiency is about 79%,
03:36and there are still some retro traffic lights left.
03:41Before the Osaka Expo next year,
03:45it is rumored that the LED traffic light is accelerating.
03:51Yesterday, the traffic light on the school road
03:53suddenly changed to a new LED traffic light.
03:55I was really surprised.
03:57Among the traffic lights we're going to see today,
03:59it may have changed to an LED traffic light.
04:02I see.
04:03Kai, this is your first time going to a traffic light.
04:07Yes, this is my first time going to a traffic light.
04:10I'm happy.
04:11You're happy?
04:12Are you looking forward to it?
04:13I'm looking forward to it.
04:14He's wearing a traffic light T-shirt.
04:16He's brainwashed.
04:19He's a genius.
04:21Are there any retro traffic lights in Osaka
04:23that haven't been removed yet?
04:27This time, the traffic light brothers are going to check
04:30these five places.
04:33First, a very rare traffic light in Ikeda City, Osaka.
04:38What kind of traffic light is it?
04:41This is probably the only one in Osaka.
04:45In the past, there were only a few in Osaka,
04:47but they all changed to new ones,
04:50so it's not strange that they're gone.
04:53I'm a little worried.
04:56It's a very emphasized traffic light.
04:58Emphasized?
04:59Emphasized?
05:00Don't ignore the traffic light!
05:02It's a traffic light with a strong push.
05:04What does that mean?
05:05Are there any left?
05:07In Osaka dialect.
05:08I think there are some left.
05:12There are some.
05:13There are some.
05:14There are some.
05:16Yes, there are some.
05:17They're checking if there are any left.
05:19Yes, the traffic light in front of us.
05:21That's normal.
05:22That's a very emphasized traffic light.
05:26It appears to be a normal traffic light,
05:29which is not strange at all.
05:32If it's a red traffic light,
05:34it's going to be interesting.
05:36A red traffic light?
05:38You can't ignore the traffic light.
05:40This is a traffic light with a strong push.
05:47Stop.
05:48After the red traffic light,
05:50there's a push to stop below it.
05:54There's a push.
05:55The traffic light has been remodeled.
05:58But now, it's a typical LED traffic light.
06:04I don't think there are many cars
06:06that have been remodeled to stop.
06:09But why is it emphasized
06:12with a stop sign?
06:15This was installed a long time ago,
06:17so I don't know the exact reason.
06:20It's just my guess.
06:22The intersection is close to the one in the back.
06:26I see.
06:27The car coming from the other side
06:29misunderstood the intersection
06:31and went straight ahead.
06:33To prevent that,
06:34they put up a stop sign
06:36with a red traffic light.
06:38That's why it's emphasized.
06:41Start shooting.
06:42You've been here before, haven't you?
06:45You've been shooting before, haven't you?
06:46I've been shooting before.
06:47It's been two years.
06:48The camera is getting better.
06:51Kai, too.
06:53It's cute.
06:55With a close-up.
06:57Now, they're going to teach them
06:59how to shoot a traffic light.
07:01What are they going to teach them?
07:02The traffic light.
07:03Blue, yellow, red.
07:05All of them.
07:07It's cute.
07:08It's cute.
07:10You have to shoot all of them.
07:12I turned off the lights,
07:13so the temperature is yellow.
07:15I'll turn yellow right away.
07:17I'll turn yellow right away.
07:24He's good.
07:25He teaches them how to shoot a traffic light.
07:27Yes.
07:28I've been shooting a traffic light
07:30since I started shooting traffic lights.
07:32I teach Kai, too.
07:33What kind of face is that?
07:35What kind of face is that?
07:37The camera is getting better.
07:40In addition,
07:41there is a traffic light
07:43that is popular in Hana-ku, Osaka.
07:46The next traffic light we're going to see
07:48is a very powerful traffic light.
07:51It's a very powerful traffic light.
07:54It's still there.
07:55I think this is the most famous traffic light
07:57in Osaka.
07:58It's the most famous.
08:00If it wasn't there,
08:01I would be very sad.
08:04There's a hole.
08:05That's good.
08:06That's good.
08:09It's the traffic light on the right.
08:13It's huge.
08:14Yes.
08:15It's the biggest traffic light in Japan.
08:20Some parts of it are the largest in Japan.
08:23Some parts?
08:24Here is a very powerful traffic light.
08:29The arrow is huge.
08:31There are three giant arrows
08:33that are twice as big as the three-color traffic light.
08:40It looks like a bird.
08:42It looks like a bird.
08:44It doesn't matter.
08:45It looks like a bird.
08:48Where is Kai?
08:50There he is.
08:51There he is.
08:55Did you get it?
08:56I got it.
09:01You're good.
09:02What do you think of Kai's photo?
09:04He's good.
09:05He's really good.
09:06He's good.
09:11Why are you so stingy?
09:15Most of the normal traffic lights
09:17are the same size as the three-color traffic light.
09:22But at this intersection,
09:24which has a large amount of traffic,
09:26they installed a much bigger traffic light
09:29to prevent people from seeing it.
09:34Kai, what do you think of the traffic light?
09:36Is it your first time seeing it?
09:37It's my first time seeing it.
09:38What do you think of it?
09:41Here is a sudden quiz.
09:44What did Kai say when he saw the three-color traffic light for the first time?
09:52It was big.
09:53The traffic light.
09:54It was big.
09:55I see.
09:56He's six years old.
09:58It was shining.
10:00I see.
10:01It was smaller than I expected.
10:05I didn't expect it to be that big.
10:06I thought it would be bigger.
10:08The correct answer is...
10:11It was big.
10:14I don't have it at home, so I want to take it home.
10:19The correct answer is...
10:20I don't have it at home, so I want to take it home.
10:24I want to take it home.
10:26I want to take it home.
10:28You're being taught well.
10:30We don't have that.
10:32We don't.
10:34I've been saying it for a long time.
10:36The one with the K-mark.
10:38The one with the D.
10:41I'm going to take it home.
10:44I'll take it home, too.
10:46What?
10:49They're talking about traffic lights while they're on the move.
10:53They take a lunch break here.
10:55What do you want to eat?
10:57Takoyaki.
10:58Takoyaki.
10:59It's delicious.
11:00It's delicious.
11:01It's delicious.
11:03Takoyaki is bigger than the ones we make at home.
11:06I'm sorry to say this, but...
11:08I'm sorry to say this, but...
11:11I like the soft one.
11:12I like the soft one.
11:13I'm sorry.
11:14Then, here's what his brother, Sora, has been worried about lately.
11:21I get busy when I get a job.
11:25Professor!
11:26I see.
11:28The first appearance of the Shingoki brothers was five years ago.
11:35It was a girl.
11:37Sora.
11:38Sora was big.
11:40I'm Riku Okamoto from Osaka.
11:42I'm 11 years old.
11:4311 years old.
11:45I'm Sora Okamoto.
11:48I'm 8 years old.
11:49I'm in my third year of elementary school.
11:55I see.
11:56You love it.
11:57I'm Shingo.
11:59Lastly, do you have any plans to join the Shingoki industry?
12:03What do you want to say to the Shingoki industry?
12:06I want to see the new Shingo as the old Shingo.
12:14Now, they are 18 and 14 years old, and they are like big brothers.
12:19He was carried by Hai.
12:21Riku, who is now in his third year of high school, is in the middle of a job hunt.
12:28I think it's a little sad that we don't have a chance to go together.
12:34I agree.
12:35They've been through a lot of Shingoki.
12:38That's true.
12:40Riku's brother, Sora, is worried that he won't be able to go through Shingoki with him anymore.
12:49I'm lonely.
12:51Where do you want to go for a job?
12:54I got an electric license in high school, so I want to work in the electric industry.
13:01What about Shingo?
13:02I'm worried about Shingo.
13:05I'm worried that I won't be able to enjoy my hobby if I live with Shingo.
13:13I see.
13:14What are you going to do after this?
13:16I'm going to continue shooting Shingo.
13:18I see.
13:19What do you think about that?
13:21I'm grateful for that.
13:24You're grateful for that.
13:28If you get a job, you'll be busy.
13:30That's right.
13:31I'll be busy, but I'll get a car license, so I'll be able to move around.
13:37I think I can go to Okayama right away.
13:39Let's go together.
13:40Can we go together?
13:42Yes, we can.
13:43It's okay, but don't ask me to pay for lunch.
13:51Brother, don't say that.
13:54He's your brother.
13:56He's like a real brother.
13:57Don't say that.
13:59Shingoki and his brother's rare trip to Shingoki.
14:02Next, let's go to Osaka City, Naniwa Prefecture.
14:06This is Oshibotan.
14:08Oshibotan?
14:09Yes.
14:10This is the first Oshibotan in Japan.
14:14Here we go.
14:16Oshibotan.
14:20I think this is the intersection.
14:23Yes, there it is.
14:29It looks like a normal Oshibotan.
14:33If you look at it from the front, it looks like a normal Oshibotan.
14:36But if you look at it from the side, it's very impressive.
14:38If you look at it from the side?
14:39Yes, this Oshibotan.
14:41It's normal.
14:42If you look at it from the front, it looks like a normal Oshibotan.
14:50What is this?
14:52Why?
14:54Oh, it's the place for the light bulb.
14:56It's about 1 meter.
14:57It's jumping out of the light bulb.
15:02I made a mistake about the place to put the light bulb.
15:10Older people get tired in this area.
15:15That's why you can do it like this.
15:18Like this on that stick.
15:22The distance between the Oshibotan and the pedestrian crossing is quite long.
15:27To prevent people from looking down on the Oshibotan,
15:32I used a long arm like this to make it easier to push the Oshibotan.
15:36Oh, that's kind.
15:37I think the kindness of Osaka people is also reflected in the new generation.
15:41As expected of Osaka people.
15:47How can I make this look long?
15:52The angle is difficult.
15:55Oh, that's good.
15:58There aren't many pictures because there aren't all colors.
16:02That's not what I mean.
16:04There are two patterns, please wait and push.
16:07I take both of them.
16:09You take those two patterns?
16:11That's amazing.
16:12Next is a very rare traffic light in Nishinari-ku, Osaka.
16:17The next thing I'm going to see is a strange-shaped traffic light.
16:21It's like a traffic light in the near future.
16:24Like a traffic light in the near future.
16:27Osaka's traffic light in the near future.
16:31If you look closely, it's quite big.
16:34It's amazing.
16:36The scale is amazing.
16:45The scale is amazing.
16:46This is the Osaka traffic light in the near future.
16:52What is this?
16:56There are many traffic lights on the sharp iron road.
17:08This is a pillar that holds a crane.
17:14The whole pillar is holding a crane.
17:18Why is it a crane?
17:20Because there is a shopping street in Tsurinbashi.
17:22I think it's a crane in line with the image of a shopping street.
17:30A very rare traffic light in Osaka.
17:33The last thing I'm going to see is a very rare traffic light in Sakai-shi.
17:39What kind of traffic light are you going to see next?
17:42The next thing I'm going to see is a very old traffic light from the Showa era.
17:47This is the most suspicious traffic light I've seen today.
17:52I'm worried.
17:54A traffic light from the Showa era that is more than 50 years old.
17:59A traffic light from the Showa era?
18:00It's like Tomizawa's Suzuki.
18:06It's still there.
18:08I'm glad.
18:09To be honest, I didn't think there was one.
18:12I'm glad. There was one.
18:14There was one? Which one?
18:16It's a traffic light for pedestrians in front of you.
18:19A traffic light for pedestrians?
18:20I'm so happy that I can't even describe how I feel right now.
18:25It's still there.
18:27What is it?
18:28This is a traffic light from the Showa era that has been active for more than 50 years.
18:39It's got a nice light.
18:42This traffic light is much longer than a normal traffic light.
18:47That's why it's called a recent.
18:52It's a little shorter than other traffic lights in other prefectures.
18:57But in Osaka and Nara prefectures,
19:01there are a lot of long traffic lights like this.
19:04It's like Tomizawa's graduation album.
19:09It's still there.
19:11I'm glad that you know it.
19:14It's an old traffic light, so it's amazing that it's still there.
19:18I was moved when I saw it.
19:23Kai is taking a picture, too.
19:32It's cute.
19:33It might be the last one today, so I took a good picture.
19:36I'm glad that it's still there.
19:38It's still there.
19:40I don't know when it will be removed, so I want to set up a tent here and live.
19:49Next, we have a professor who loves things that are disappearing all over Japan.
19:55I'll show you my living room.
19:59This is Atsuhiro Tsunoda, a fourth-year elementary school student.
20:04Tsunoda-kun.
20:06Let's go to his house.
20:09That's the train driver's seat.
20:12You can change the speed with this.
20:16You can move the train with this.
20:19Let's go by train.
20:21My dad made the shape,
20:24and I added buttons and memories.
20:27It's amazing.
20:29What do you like about the railroad?
20:31Sound?
20:32I like the sound of the train.
20:35I know, I know.
20:46Like this.
20:49You like trains.
20:51Atsuhiro-kun loves the railroad.
20:55But he doesn't just like the railroad.
20:58What's this?
21:01I got a thank-you note from the train company.
21:09A thank-you note?
21:12He got a thank-you note from the train company.
21:15What does that mean?
21:19It's a map of the railroad in the prefecture.
21:24It's a map of Fukushima prefecture?
21:26It's a map of how I felt.
21:29I wrote a lot of ideas to make the railroad better.
21:35Atsuhiro-kun looked up the Akajiro line and its section.
21:43He thought about how to solve the Akaji problem.
21:45He thought about his own ideas and cheered for the local line.
21:50He's the local line's cheering doctor.
21:53Cheering doctor.
21:56That's a niche.
21:58I want people to cheer for the Akajiro line and the local line.
22:01I want it to become a black line.
22:04That's great.
22:05That's a niche.
22:07The local line that connects Aizu-Wakamatsu station in Fukushima prefecture to Koide station in Niigata prefecture.
22:15The Tadami line.
22:17Atsuhiro-kun goes to the station almost every weekend.
22:22Thank you for taking the train.
22:25Please come again.
22:27They're cheering.
22:29That's amazing.
22:31They're so supportive.
22:33They shout out to the tourists and local users on the train to show their gratitude.
22:39It's literally cheering.
22:42That's a niche.
22:44I really like it.
22:46That's amazing.
22:47Such supportive activities are heard by the railroad companies.
22:51That's amazing.
22:52As part of the activities in Fukushima prefecture to liven up the Tadami line,
22:56the prefectural officials visit Atsuhiro-kun.
23:02He's chosen as one of the representatives of the local line to suggest ideas.
23:08Have you heard of anyone other than Atsuhiro-kun?
23:12No.
23:13There isn't?
23:14Only Atsuhiro-kun.
23:16Atsuhiro-kun talks a lot about the Tadami line.
23:20But I couldn't figure out anyone else who has strong feelings for the Tadami line.
23:25I think that the tourist trains cost a lot of money.
23:30But Atsuhiro-kun came up with the idea of crowdfunding.
23:34Even for adults, there weren't many people who thought about it.
23:42I was very surprised by that.
23:45I like the Tadami line,
23:47but I also want to save other lines that are in danger of being destroyed.
23:52So I support various lines.
23:54That's amazing.
23:56The local line that Atsuhiro-kun loves plays an important role as a local means of transportation.
24:04But it's also affected by the weather and COVID-19.
24:0890% of it is in bad shape.
24:1290%?
24:13But among them...
24:15There is a cat named Tama in Wakayama Dentetsu,
24:20which is in danger of being destroyed.
24:25It was very popular in Wakayama,
24:27but it was destroyed.
24:31Tama, the cat, is very popular in Wakayama.
24:35The economy in Wakayama is said to be about 1.1 billion yen.
24:43And the area has become the center of the railway.
24:47It was able to escape from the danger of being destroyed.
24:49I didn't know there was such a chance.
24:52The Aizu Railway in Fukushima Prefecture
24:55has Oza-style seats, truck seats, and observation seats.
25:01All the seats can be enjoyed by the Oza-toro observation train.
25:06The number of users has doubled.
25:09That's amazing.
25:10The Gakunan Railway in Shizuoka Prefecture
25:13has a night train that can enjoy the night view
25:16while saving electricity by turning off the inside of the car.
25:20The light of the factory is good.
25:23There is a way to do it.
25:25Yes, the local line can also turn around depending on the idea.
25:31So, tonight, we're going to have a thorough lesson
25:34on the Aizu Railway, which saved the local line.
25:39That's amazing.
25:41Wow, that's cool.
25:43Aizu Railway in Shizuoka Prefecture
25:46Now, let's say hello.
25:48Professor.
25:50Hello.
25:52Hello, Atsuhiro.
25:54Hello.
25:55I'm Atsuhiro Tsunoda. I'm 10 years old.
25:57Nice to meet you.
26:01Do you check the Aizu Railway every time?
26:05Yes, I do.
26:06I think there are some lines that can be saved.
26:10So, I check them early and check the dangerous lines.
26:17There are dangerous lines.
26:19I think about how to get from the Akaji Line
26:23to the Kurojin Line.
26:27What do you like about the local line?
26:29The local line is good for slow running.
26:33You can see the scenery well.
26:37You can't see the scenery on the Shinkansen.
26:40It's too fast.
26:42Is it the Shinkansen today?
26:44It was the Shinkansen yesterday.
26:47How was Tokyo?
26:49I was surprised to see so many buildings.
26:53There are no buildings in Tadamiya.
26:55There are no buildings.
26:57It's a really quiet place.
26:59It's the best place.
27:02It's a good place.
27:04There are a lot of customers at the Tokyo Station.
27:08I'd like to have more customers at the Akaji Line.
27:14I'd like to have more customers at the Akaji Line.
27:17I'd like to have more customers at the Akaji Line.
27:19Please tell us the theme of today's class.
27:22Here it is.
27:24You're good at writing.
27:26It's a reverse railway.
27:31It's cool.
27:32It's a reverse railway.
27:34It's a reverse railway.
27:3690% of the local railways in Japan are suffering from the Akaji Line.
27:45This class is about the reverse railway.
27:53First of all,
27:55this is it.
27:57The most popular attraction train in Osaka,
28:01the Sanriku Railway in Iwate Prefecture.
28:04Sanriku Railway.
28:06The Sanriku Railway in Iwate Prefecture is known for being the stage of Asadora Ama-chan.
28:13What is the idea of the reverse railway that took Osaka Prefecture?
28:17The Sanriku Railway is a railway that runs vertically in Iwate Prefecture.
28:22The total length is 163 km.
28:26If you go a little further south from Sakari Station, you can see Keisen-no-ma.
28:30We've ridden it many times.
28:33The Sanriku Railway is running a lot of planned trains to increase the number of passengers.
28:40Please take a look at this.
28:43This is the train that the Sanriku Railway has planned.
28:49The Sanriku Railway has a number 3.
28:53The Sanriku Railway has a number 3.
28:55Did all of them succeed?
28:58Some of them failed.
29:04For example, the Umineko-no-ezuke train.
29:09The train stops at the coastline.
29:13It's a project to adopt Umineko-no-ezuke.
29:17But Umineko-no-ezuke didn't come.
29:21So I was worried.
29:24It can't be helped.
29:27The second one is the athletic train.
29:30What kind of train is it?
29:32It's a train that runs 100 times on the platform.
29:36It's a train that keeps running in the car.
29:40It's tough.
29:41What is it?
29:42There were only two applicants.
29:45There were two applicants.
29:48I will give you a quiz.
29:50In fact, the Sanriku Railway has a lot of mountains in the countryside.
29:57The Sanriku Railway succeeded in building an attraction train.
30:01What kind of train do you think it is?
30:05It's an attraction train.
30:07It's a train that runs along the sea.
30:09But the Sanriku Railway runs in the mountains.
30:13The Sanriku Railway can run in the mountains.
30:15The Sanriku Railway doesn't change the scenery at all.
30:22The hint is to do it at night when you can't see the scenery.
30:31I got it.
30:34If you can't see the scenery at night,
30:38you can talk to the people on the stairs.
30:42It's like a haunted house.
30:45I see.
30:46You can enjoy the atmosphere.
30:48You can talk to people on the stairs.
30:50It's a good idea.
30:52But it's not.
30:53It's not.
30:54The couple is flirting.
30:58It's something that can be done in the city.
31:02It's a little different.
31:03That's right.
31:04That's right.
31:05Here is the answer.
31:07This is the idea that the Sanriku Railway changed the direction of the wind.
31:14It's dark.
31:15It's around 8 o'clock at night when you can't see anything.
31:20That's good. It's the front of the train.
31:24What do you think the audience is looking at?
31:29Is it a bug?
31:36Let's run slowly.
31:38Let's run slowly.
31:39The train lights are turned off.
31:41That's right.
31:42It's interesting.
31:44There's something on the left.
31:45There's something on the left.
31:46What is it?
31:47There it is.
31:49There it is.
31:50It's a deer.
31:51It's a deer.
31:53There it is.
31:54It's a wild deer.
31:55I've seen wild animals in the mountains.
31:59I've seen more than 30 of them.
32:03It's like a night safari.
32:05That's right.
32:17The Sanriku Railway, which often collided with animals in the mountains,
32:22turned it upside down and turned it into a night jungle train.
32:26I think it's very good.
32:27It's interesting.
32:28That's great.
32:30It's interesting.
32:31That's a good idea.
32:33People all over the country,
32:34in the winter of the Sanriku Railway,
32:37there is a tourist train called Kotatsu.
32:40Kotatsu is inside the train.
32:43While enjoying the scenery while warming up,
32:47I'm waiting for you to come to the Sanriku Railway in Iwate
32:50with a sea urchin bento.
32:56I'm waiting for you.
33:00That's great.
33:01It's not Iwate, is it?
33:02No.
33:03My hometown is Tadami in Fukushima Prefecture.
33:06But I want you to come.
33:08That's good.
33:09I'd like to ride it.
33:10Yes.
33:12With the idea of the sea urchin,
33:13the direction of the wind has changed.
33:16What's next?
33:19Here it is.
33:21It's a fantasy train with the legend of Taro Urashima
33:24on the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line in Kagoshima Prefecture.
33:28It's a fantasy train.
33:31The Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line in Kagoshima Prefecture
33:34runs along various tourist attractions
33:36such as Sakurajima and Kinko Bay.
33:41As a result of thinking about how to increase the number of users,
33:47it was a great success to incorporate the legend of Taro Urashima in the train.
33:54What kind of train did it run?
34:00What is it?
34:01Is it close?
34:02It's like...
34:04A person dressed up as a fish is dancing inside.
34:09I see.
34:10It's like Ryugu Castle.
34:11Singing and dancing.
34:13You can enjoy the sea.
34:15It's like a party.
34:18It's like spending time at Ryugu Castle.
34:21It's a little far.
34:22It's nice.
34:23It's a little far.
34:24It's comfortable.
34:25Or,
34:26when the conductor gets on the train,
34:29he becomes an old man at the end.
34:33You have to get on both trains to understand it.
34:35Yes, you have to get on both trains to understand it.
34:37But,
34:38the scene of the idea is the same.
34:42Oh, you used it?
34:44Here is the idea that the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line changed the direction of the wind.
34:51The train carrying the legend of Taro Urashima is...
34:57It's black and white.
34:58It's true.
34:59It's called the Ibusuki-Tamatebako Train.
35:02It's called the Ibusuki-Tamatebako Train.
35:05First of all, the train carrying Taro Urashima looks like this.
35:10The color of the train is black and white.
35:12It's divided into two colors.
35:14It's amazing.
35:15What do these two colors represent?
35:20What?
35:23It's a combination of the color of the front and back of the train.
35:28I see.
35:31It's stylish.
35:33It's stylish, isn't it?
35:34It's true.
35:35But, I need to explain it.
35:39When you get on the train,
35:41you can feel the feeling of Taro Urashima.
35:43When you get on the train?
35:45When the door opens,
35:51you can feel the white mist.
35:55It's fun.
35:56It's Tamatebako.
35:57You can feel the mist.
35:59The train is Tamatebako.
36:01That's right.
36:02You won't become an old man if you get on the train.
36:05So, don't worry.
36:06That's a good idea.
36:09My favorite train, the Kiha 140,
36:11has a great sound of the diesel engine.
36:14Do you like it?
36:15It has a great sound.
36:16Please listen to it.
36:17Which one?
36:20Taro Urashima
36:26Which one do you like?
36:27It has a great sound.
36:31I like the sound of the diesel engine.
36:34Please enjoy the feeling of Taro Urashima.
36:41It's fun.
36:43When you come to Kagoshima,
36:45please come to Ibusuki.
36:46I'm waiting for you.
36:51I'm looking forward to it.
36:54The train has changed its direction
36:56because of Uroku's idea.
36:58What's next?
37:01Here it is.
37:02I want to leave an impact on Shikoku Yodo Line.
37:05I'll show you twice.
37:06It's Bikkuri Ressha.
37:07Bikkuri Ressha.
37:11Yodo Line connects Ehime and Kochi Prefectures in Shikoku.
37:16It goes to Kitagawa Prefecture.
37:18Yodo Line has been popular
37:21because it connects Shikoku and Ehime.
37:28This is Shimanotorokko,
37:30the eldest son of Yodo Line.
37:32There is a arrow on the back.
37:35It's Torokko.
37:37Is it Torokko?
37:38Yes.
37:40It's a beautiful view.
37:43It's Shimanotokawa.
37:46I want to ride this.
37:50Torokko doesn't have an engine.
37:53I can't enjoy the sound of the engine.
37:55It's okay.
37:56It's okay.
37:58Instead, I like the sound of Shimanotogawa River.
38:05I like the sound of the river.
38:08This is the first national train.
38:11It came from Seiryu Shimanotogawa, the original Torokko train.
38:15It's a historical sightseeing train.
38:17Next is JINAN of Yodo Line.
38:22This is JINAN.
38:23It's flashy.
38:24This is JINAN.
38:25It's a Kappa legend motif
38:27that is transmitted around Shimanotogawa.
38:29It's Kappa Uyoyogo, a hobby train of Kaiyodo.
38:32Kappa Uyoyogo.
38:35It's not just the appearance, but the inside of the car is also Kappa.
38:38It's true.
38:39It's riding.
38:40Kappa is riding.
38:41Kappa is riding.
38:42It's true.
38:45There is Kappa Uyoyogo.
38:46The sound of the train is also different.
38:48Please listen to it.
38:55It's scary.
38:57Please listen to it again.
39:04It's the sound of the Kappa.
39:06It's the sound of the Kappa.
39:08It's true.
39:11It's the sound of the Kappa.
39:12I think it's good because it's a train with a completely different concept.
39:16JINAN.
39:17The sound of the Kappa is scary.
39:18You understand the sound of the Kappa well.
39:19Kappa Uyoyogo is the best.
39:24Yodo Line of Shikoku became very popular with such an original train.
39:32Then, what is the train with a super impact?
39:38It's a cute train.
39:41In addition.
39:42It's very expensive.
39:45A miracle has come back from the ruins.
39:48Now, the tourists are going to the local railroad where the best scenery in Japan can be seen.
39:56It's amazing.
39:57It's amazing.
40:01Actually, I can walk where I can't walk.
40:05It's very expensive.
40:10It's amazing.
40:15The wind direction has changed with the idea of scales from the eyes.
40:18It's a reverse railroad.
40:21Yodo Line of Shikoku became very popular with such an original train.
40:26Then, what is the train with a super impact?
40:31We have to make a train that everyone will be surprised.
40:34So.
40:35A train of dreams was born for Shikoku people who surpassed the impact of the Kappa.
40:40It was a great success.
40:41What kind of train did they make?
40:43A train of dreams for Shikoku people?
40:46It's going to surpass Uyoyogo?
40:47For Shikoku people, they used something more rare than the Kappa.
40:53The Kappa is already rare, isn't it?
40:56It's rare, but it's more rare than that.
40:59It's rare.
41:01Tengu-Uja-Uja-Go?
41:06Tengu-Uja-Uja-Go for Kappa-Uyoyogo?
41:08It's Uja-Uja.
41:09I think I got it.
41:11What is it?
41:12Shikoku people long for it.
41:15Isn't it Shinkansen?
41:18It's not in Shikoku.
41:19Oh, I see.
41:21Let me show you the answer.
41:23Here it is.
41:26The eldest son of the Yodosen brothers is...
41:29It's Hikari-Go.
41:32Look, it's Tokaido Shinkansen.
41:34The Shinkansen was the model.
41:37It's cute.
41:38It's cute.
41:41It's cute.
41:42The eldest son of the Yodosen brothers was Ketsudo Hobby Train.
41:47The Shinkansen is not in Shikoku.
41:52It's interesting.
41:53It's Tokaido Shinkansen.
41:55The Shinkansen was the model.
41:59Ketsudo Hobby Train was also surprised.
42:01It's interesting.
42:03And inside the train...
42:05What is it?
42:06It's amazing.
42:08The Shinkansen was the model.
42:11It's interesting.
42:13The Yodosen brothers had a great impact.
42:16It's amazing.
42:18It's interesting.
42:20It's the right answer.
42:21It's amazing.
42:22Congratulations.
42:24I want to ride all the Shinkansen.
42:25I want to ride all the Shinkansen.
42:27When I rode Shimanto-Rokko,
42:30I was happy to see people who swam in Shimanto River waving their hands.
42:35I think it's a wonderful meeting.
42:38Yodosen brothers, why don't you ride the Shinkansen?
42:48The Shinkansen changed the direction of the wind with the idea of scales from the eyes.
42:52Finally, the last question.
42:55This time, Atsuhiro-kun actually came to the Shinkansen that he was most interested in.
43:00Actually, there is a Shinkansen that is turning over in Miyazaki Prefecture.
43:05The Shinkansen that is turning over in Miyazaki Prefecture hasn't done anything yet.
43:09It's stopped.
43:11The Shinkansen is already out of service, but 110,000 people gather every year.
43:17It's out of service, isn't it?
43:18Yes.
43:20Even though the Shinkansen is already out of service,
43:23what does it mean that the Shinkansen is turning over and the passengers are in a hurry?
43:29So, from their hometown Fukushima Prefecture to Kyushu Miyazaki Prefecture,
43:33they are on a journey to find an idea for turning over.
43:36We went to Miyazaki.
43:37What about today?
43:38It's called Amaterasu Railway in Takachiho.
43:42It's already out of service, but there's a line that's working hard now,
43:47so I'd like to ride it.
43:49Takachiho Amaterasu Railway.
43:51Even though it's out of service and the train isn't running,
43:54110,000 people gather every year on this local line.
43:59What does it mean?
44:03It's Takachiho Station.
44:06It's running.
44:07It's like the old days. It's great.
44:11This time, how did Takachiho Amaterasu Railway
44:14turn over a miracle?
44:19Let's look for ideas that will be helpful on other local lines.
44:25Oh, a map of the time.
44:28There are quite a lot of people.
44:31There are old photos, too. It's great.
44:34There are some new ones, too, but I'll leave the old ones.
44:38What's this notebook for?
44:40I use this notebook to write down various ideas.
44:46Wow.
44:47First, I'll write a stamp.
44:50This is a notebook for writing ideas.
44:52But I want to leave a stamp.
44:57That's right.
44:59I want to push this.
45:00Oh, that's great.
45:01It's beautiful.
45:03There are a lot of words, too.
45:06Wow, there's a train.
45:09Wow.
45:12I'm done.
45:14It's like a guide book.
45:17It's interesting.
45:19Next, let's go to the station's platform.
45:21There should be no train because it's an abandoned line.
45:24That's right.
45:25Oh, that's great.
45:27It's cute. It's small.
45:29That's great.
45:30Grand Super Cart.
45:32This is what Atsuhiro really wanted to see.
45:36The Grand Super Cart gathers 110,000 people a year.
45:40What's this?
45:41This super open cart runs on a diesel engine.
45:45It used to run instead of a train.
45:48Can it move?
45:49Wow.
45:50The biggest secret of this cart is that you can see the most beautiful scenery in Japan.
45:58This is the Takachio Amaterasu Railway, where many people visit.
46:04There were many difficulties to get here.
46:09In 2005, there was a typhoon, Typhoon No. 14.
46:13The Takachio Amaterasu Railway was severely damaged by the typhoon.
46:17It was destroyed in 2008.
46:21The Takachio Amaterasu Railway opened in 1972.
46:24It was loved as a route to see the beautiful scenery.
46:29However, the typhoon that struck Miyazaki in 2005 destroyed two bridges.
46:36The total damage amounted to about 2.6 billion yen.
46:402.6 billion yen.
46:41The railway was closed three years later.
46:45At that rate, the railway facilities will be removed and it will never be able to be restored.
46:52The volunteers who wish for the reconstruction of the railway came up with various ideas to run something.
46:59We have to use the rail.
47:00It used to be a different train.
47:03I think it's well-made.
47:05I agree.
47:06They bought the grass on the railroad that the train couldn't run on.
47:09They repaired the rail.
47:11The first thing they made run was a wooden truck.
47:19Next, they remodeled a light truck to allow 18 people to ride it.
47:25It's like a car.
47:26Then, they made a grand super car that runs on a diesel engine.
47:31It can accommodate 60 people.
47:33It's interesting.
47:34This car was not officially restored because it was treated like an amusement park.
47:43However, the rail and facilities will be used continuously.
47:48We did an exercise called Leave it.
47:50We asked them to restore the Takachio Line.
47:52There were many opportunities to talk to the drivers and passengers.
48:00They gave us candies and oranges.
48:03They told us not to sleep and not to work hard.
48:07We wanted to restore the space.
48:12That's why we want to restore the Amaterasu Railway.
48:19In the old days, we could communicate with people on the train.
48:24We were able to connect with people.
48:28I hope it will be better in the future.
48:32Atsuhiro showed us a lot of valuable vehicles and facilities.
48:38And finally...
48:40It's coming.
48:43It's the grand super car that we've been waiting for.
48:47What kind of superb view is waiting for us?
48:52It's very high.
48:55It's amazing.
49:02It can accommodate 280,000 people.
49:04You can become a professor.
49:07It's a very popular attraction.

49:47It would be great if there was no roof.
49:51It feels good.
49:52It's very beautiful.
49:53It's great.
49:54It's possible because it's a cart that runs on the abandoned tracks.
49:57It's an open-air car without a roof.
50:00It's a strange picture.
50:02It's interesting.
50:08It's beautiful because it's sunny.
50:13It's a tunnel.
50:15It's a rare experience to enter the tunnel with a cart without a roof.
50:20That's right.
50:22Then...
50:24It's beautiful.
50:28It's illuminated.
50:29It's amazing.

50:32The fireworks are being lit.
50:34The fireworks are being lit.
50:37It's amazing.
50:38Who came up with the idea?
50:40An ex-employee said that the tunnel was lonely.
50:44He suggested putting a mirror ball in the opposite direction.
50:49That's how it started.
50:51It's amazing.
50:52I see.
50:55It's amazing.
50:56It's sunny.
50:58It's beautiful.

51:09The most beautiful view in Japan?
51:10It's a long distance.
51:11I hope it's a high view.
51:13If you're not good at high places,
51:16I'm sorry, but please be patient.
51:21How is it when it's high?
51:22I'm not good at it.
51:24How is it?
51:25How high is it?
51:26It's very high.
51:28I think it's quite high here.
51:30There are still many high places.
51:32It's the highest railway bridge in Japan.
51:38I see.
51:39It's the highest in Japan.
51:41It's high.
51:43It's amazing.

52:20It's 105 meters high.
52:24It's very high.
52:27They stop at the highest point and let us enjoy the view.
52:31It's not only the railway, but also the kart.
52:40I'm a little scared.
52:43I want to ride the train together.
52:46I see.
52:48It's a puddle.
52:50It's wonderful.
52:51It's nice to do it here.
52:53It's something you can't do on a normal train.
53:00It's beautiful.
53:04I think it's amazing that we're doing our best even though there's a possibility we can't do it.
53:12It was a great trip, wasn't it, Atsuhiro?
