00:00When you enlarge the satellite image, 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 such a place?
00:17Do you drive this?
00:19Yes. This is still small.
00:21Is this a small one?
00:22Yes, it's small.
00:23It's big enough.
00:24The potatoes are in here.
00:26Do you really bury them directly in the soil?
00:28Yes, I do.
00:29Do you just cut the leaves and plant them?
00:32Yes, I do.
00:33Do you just crush them?
00:35Yes, until they become sticky rice cakes.
00:37Do they become sticky rice cakes?
00:38Yes, they become sticky rice cakes.
00:39Wow, that's amazing.
00:41Are these okra flowers?
00:42Yes, they are.
00:43I make tempura out of these flowers.
00:45I've never seen okra flowers before.
00:46I didn't know okra flowers were like this.
00:48The stem is about 2 meters long.
00:52That's right.
00:53It's a very large stem.
00:56It's delicious.
01:00Tonight, we'll be looking for a mysterious object found in satellite images.
01:06The great invention of Japan,
01:11the Potsunto Observer.
01:16Good evening, Mr. Terada.
01:18Good evening.
01:19Welcome.
01:20You're all grown up now.
01:23I've grown up.
01:24You've grown up a lot.
01:25You've grown up a lot.
01:26You've been working on TV since you were a kid.
01:29You didn't do anything outdoors, did you?
01:31When I went on family trips or went out to play,
01:34I went to temples and shrines.
01:37I see.
01:38How about you, Ms. Teradima?
01:39I started this show five years ago.
01:42I used to watch two shows at the same time.
01:47That's right.
01:48Now, you can watch two shows at the same time.
01:51I think it's a hard life, but I think it's a rich life.
01:54That's right.
01:56This is the Potsunto Observer.
02:00It's in Hokkaido.
02:01It's very large.
02:02Where is it?
02:03It's in Hokkaido.
02:04It's in the middle of nowhere.
02:05It's very large, just like Hokkaido.
02:08It's large.
02:09There are many buildings lined up along the road.
02:13It's not a ski resort, is it?
02:15It's not a ski resort, is it?
02:17I don't know.
02:18It could be a slope.
02:21I raise vegetables with my family of several generations.
02:26What kind of vegetables do you grow in Hokkaido?
02:29Carrots and potatoes.
02:31Oh, potatoes.
02:32What else?
02:33Geniuses.
02:34That's right.
02:36This is a ranch, isn't it?
02:37I think so.
02:39You make milk, don't you?
02:40This is the atmosphere of a beef carcass.
02:42That's right.
02:43Let's say you always drink milk.
02:46It's rich and delicious.
02:48That's right.
02:50It's a different kind of milk.
02:54They are looking for a house in Hokkaido that they found in a satellite photo.
02:59They start searching from a nearby village.
03:05This area has a deep forest.
03:09That's right.
03:10It's a great nature to overlook.
03:13Hokkaido is a big country.
03:16It's a big country.
03:20It's a big forest.
03:24There is a residential area in front of us.
03:27I haven't seen a building for a long time.
03:29That's right.
03:31There are many buildings.
03:36There are people sitting on the side of the road.
03:40That's right.
03:41I think they are women and children.
03:44Let's ask them.
03:46They are sitting on the side of the road.
03:48They are sitting on the sidewalk.
03:49They are sitting on the sidewalk.
03:50What are they doing?
03:53They are taking a break.
03:55Hello.
03:56Hello.
03:57Excuse me.
04:00I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:04I'd like to ask you for directions.
04:06Okay.
04:07May I?
04:08I'm not a local.
04:09Please wait a moment.
04:10You're not a local?
04:11I'm not a local.
04:12I'm sorry.
04:13Hello.
04:14There are many people.
04:15I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:16I'm sorry.
04:17I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:21I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:23May I ask you for directions?
04:25Okay.
04:27There are many people.
04:28Who are they?
04:30They are parasols.
04:31I'm from a TV program called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:33Are you a barber?
04:34He is my brother.
04:35What kind of people are you?
04:37He looks fun.
04:38This is my co-worker.
04:40He is a parent and child.
04:44He is your brother and child?
04:45He is a parent and child.
04:46Are you going to have an Obon holiday?
04:49Are you all my co-workers?
04:50Yes.
04:51Do you have a BBQ party on your day off?
04:53Yes.
04:54That's great.
04:55You look fun.
04:56You look good.
04:57I'd like to show you a satellite photo.
05:01May I?
05:02We are in this village.
05:07Do you know where this mark is?
05:12It's a little hard to understand here, but there is a bus stop and this is the entrance.
05:20If you go in from here, it's a one-way street.
05:23Then I think this mark is the end of the road.
05:28It used to be Mr. Yamada, but I don't know what's going on now.
05:35Do you know this place?
05:37Yes.
05:38Mr. Yamada?
05:40He's dead, so I don't know what's going on with his wife.
05:45Maybe he has a wife.
05:47Maybe. Please go and see.
05:50It's a big place, but what are you doing?
05:54It was a cow car.
05:55Was it a cow car? Did you buy cows?
05:57Yes.
05:58It was a cow car.
06:01Did you milk cows?
06:03Yes.
06:04Did you milk cows?
06:05Yes.
06:06By the way, do you know Mr. Yamada?
06:10Mr. Yamada.
06:12What's your wife's name?
06:14Kimiko Ozawa.
06:15Kimiko?
06:16Is your wife's last name different?
06:19She remarried Mr. Ozawa.
06:22I see.
06:23Everyone knows.
06:25She's not 80, is she?
06:26No, she's not.
06:27She's still in her 70s.
06:29She also runs a restaurant.
06:31She runs a restaurant?
06:32A restaurant?
06:33Here?
06:34In this place?
06:35Yes.
06:36Can people stay here?
06:38Yes.
06:39I see.
06:41Many local people gathered at the barbeque.
06:45They got a lot of information.
06:48The owner of the pots and pans is Kimiko Ozawa, who is in her 70s.
06:54She used to milk cows and run a barbeque restaurant.
07:00She lost her husband and remarried.
07:03Now she runs a boarding house in the same place.
07:08Is this the way to Tsukiyatari school?
07:11Yes, it is.
07:13If you turn right, you'll see the national highway.
07:16The national highway is on the left.
07:17The national highway is on the left.
07:18If you walk less than a kilometer, you'll see a road to the right.
07:22This is the road to Tsukiyatari.
07:24I see.
07:25Please come again if you don't know the way.
07:28I'm sorry to bother you.
07:31Thank you very much.
07:32Take your time.
07:34He's a nice guy.
07:37Thank you very much.
07:40I'll get going.
07:41Thank you very much.
07:42Excuse me.
07:44He even gave me a ride.
07:47He's amazing.
07:48He doesn't have many relatives, so he lives with them.
07:53Kimiko Ozawa, a 70-year-old woman, lives in a small house.
07:59She used to run a farm, but now she's retired.
08:04She said she's running a boarding house.
08:07I'd like to see it.
08:08Do customers come to such a small house?
08:12I think everyone will be confused.
08:14What kind of boarding house is it?
08:17I'm curious.
08:18Is it a place where you can experience the facilities?
08:20I think so.
08:24This is the national road.
08:26I see.
08:27There's a big solar panel in front of us.
08:31There are a lot of solar panels.
08:33There are a lot of solar panels.
08:35This is the left side.
08:36That's amazing.
08:38He said there's a road to the right if you go a kilometer.
08:42I see.
08:43I have to make sure I don't miss the road to the right.
08:47Otherwise, I'll end up going all the way.
08:49I think so, too.
08:52It's a construction area.
08:55Wait a minute.
08:56I can go to the right here.
08:58There's a road.
08:59Do I have to go in here?
09:00It's hard to understand.
09:01Let's go.
09:04There's no sign.
09:05The road continues to the back of the forest.
09:10The road is getting narrower and narrower.
09:13Until a while ago, the road was wide enough to pass cars.
09:17But now it's narrow enough to pass cars.
09:19It's getting narrower.
09:20The road surface is getting rough.
09:22Yes, it is.
09:23The forest is getting closer.
09:27I think there's a beast.
09:29That's right.
09:30I want to be careful because it's underground and Hokkaido.
09:35I see.
09:37No matter when a beast comes out, it's not strange.
09:41It's a road in the forest.
09:44Mr. Kimiko Ozawa used to be a rakumou at the end of this road.
09:50Now he lives in a house.
09:53What kind of place is this?
09:56Wow, it's beautiful.
09:57Yes.
10:02The road surface is rough.
10:04That's right.
10:05The road surface is rough.
10:06He lives in a deep place.
10:09He said there's a road in the middle of the road.
10:14Is it okay to go straight?
10:17I've driven about 3 kilometers from the village where I heard the road.
10:22How far can I go?
10:26On the right side.
10:27There's a building on the hill.
10:30That's right.
10:31There's a white wall.
10:33There's a dog.
10:35That's right.
10:36Is this the place?
10:38The dog suddenly came out.
10:40There's a lot of dogs.
10:42I wonder if there are people.
10:43Let's go.
10:52Finally, I arrived at a house in Hokkaido that I found in a satellite photo.
11:00A gentle mountain wave covered by deep green.
11:04Wow, it's a nice place.
11:06It's huge.
11:07The scale is different.
11:10Various buildings were lined up along the road leading to the valley.
11:20What the search team found was the open-air house in the front.
11:29Even if you compare it with a satellite photo, the color and shape of each building along the road are all the same.
11:40There's no mistake here.
11:42This is it.
11:44I saw a dog over there.
11:48It's hiding.
11:51I can only hear the dog's voice.
11:55Excuse me.
11:57Hello.
11:59Excuse me.
12:03The car is parked.
12:04That's right.
12:05Is there anyone?
12:07Excuse me.
12:09Hello.
12:11There's a signboard.
12:13That's right.
12:15There's a signboard on the wall of that white building.
12:19It says, Yamada Farmers Kitchen.
12:22That's right.
12:23There's no mistake here.
12:25It's an agricultural experience.
12:27There's an intercom, so let's ring the doorbell.
12:31Can we really live in a house?
12:38Is there anyone?
12:40I can hear the voice.
12:42Excuse me.
12:44Excuse me.
12:46I'm from a TV show called Potsun and Ikkenya.
12:53Excuse me.
12:55Excuse me.
12:57I found a satellite photo of this house.
13:02I found a satellite photo of this house.
13:06Are you Kimiko?
13:07That's right.
13:09I was taking a shampoo.
13:11Oh, you were taking a bath.
13:12I didn't know that.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:16I'll be back in five minutes.
13:18Okay.
13:19Can I come back?
13:20I'm sorry.
13:21I'm sorry.
13:25I was taking a shampoo.
13:28Let's wait a little.
13:30I'm sorry to come all of a sudden.
13:33And five minutes later.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:39My husband is coming.
13:42Oh, your husband is coming.
13:44I found a satellite photo of this house.
13:50I found a satellite photo of this house.
13:55That's right.
13:56Are you sure?
13:57That's right.
13:58Do you think so?
14:00I'm sorry to come all of a sudden.
14:02I'm sorry to come all of a sudden.
14:06I was surprised by the search team who came to visit me all of a sudden.
14:11This person who laughed and waved goodbye to me is the owner of a house in Hokkaido.
14:17His name is Kimiko Ozawa.
14:19He is 69 years old.
14:21It's the house in front of us, isn't it?
14:23Is it a single-family house?
14:24What kind of structure is it?
14:26This is the sign that says homestay.
14:29What kind of building is the other one?
14:32It's a mansion.
14:33Oh, it's a mansion.
14:34Are these two?
14:35The house is in a tile.
14:37Is it a silver house with tile?
14:39This is a barn.
14:41A barn?
14:42It's a barn.
14:43Is it a place to keep food?
14:44That's right.
14:45So, it's a place where people can live.
14:49I asked the person who lives in the house.
14:51He said he had a cow, but he quit it.
14:56Do you have a cow now?
14:57I don't have a cow.
14:59I don't have a cow now.
15:00Did he quit it?
15:01Yes.
15:02What's the reason why he quit it?
15:04He got sick.
15:09He got sick?
15:11He had a stroke.
15:16I'm sorry.
15:17Is he healthy now?
15:18He was very light now, so he was very light.
15:22But his lower body was a little numb.
15:28He was treated very quickly.
15:31When did he have a cow?
15:32He had a cow on August 6th.
15:36On August 6th?
15:37Yes.
15:38That's quite recent.
15:39That's right.
15:40Did he have a cow until about two weeks ago?
15:44Yes.
15:46It's a big difference.
15:48I'm sorry.
15:49When did he have a cow here?
15:53It was originally his ancestral land.
15:58Is it his ancestral land?
16:00That's right.
16:01His mother worked as a farmer.
16:03She grew peas and soybeans.
16:06She grew peas and soybeans.
16:09She quit it and started milking cows.
16:11She started milking cows?
16:12She started milking cows.
16:14I got married when I was 19 years old, so I quit milking cows.
16:19I started raising cows.
16:22You started raising cows for meat.
16:24Yes.
16:25Is it better to raise cows for meat than to raise cows for milk?
16:34It's better to raise cows for milk.
16:37I started milking cows after my husband passed away.
16:43I have a lot of cows.
16:45I changed my job and now I'm a milking specialist.
16:49You're a milking specialist.
16:51I take care of Holstein's young cows and milk them.
16:59Then I return them to the milking station.
17:02You only breastfeed the cows?
17:05Yes. I'm a milking specialist.
17:08You're very specialized.
17:13You've been a milking specialist for a long time.
17:16Yes. It's been 50 years.
17:18It's been half a century.
17:20Did you make a decision when you decided to quit milking cows?
17:25No.
17:26I felt better, so I wanted to do it again.
17:32It's been 50 years, so it's okay.
17:37Where do you live?
17:40I live in Rikubetsu.
17:42Do you have a house in Rikubetsu?
17:44Yes.
17:45I used to work here when I had customers.
17:51You took care of the cows while you slept.
17:53You worked at a homestay when you had customers.
17:56How far is Rikubetsu from here by car?
17:58It's about 20 minutes by car.
18:00It's about 20 minutes by car.
18:02Is it about 20 kilometers away?
18:04Yes.
18:05Do you live like that all the time?
18:09Yes.
18:11Why do you have a homestay here?
18:15My ex-husband has a lot of friends who are farmers.
18:21So we decided to have a homestay together.
18:25I used to have an experience as a student.
18:28It says Farmer's Kitchen.
18:30It's a place where you can experience agriculture.
18:32Farmer's Kitchen is a farmhouse.
18:36I see.
18:37How many years ago did you start a homestay?
18:41It's been about 20 years.
18:4320 years?
18:44It's white and beautiful.
18:47We have one room now.
18:50Do you have one room now?
18:52Yes.
18:53How many rooms did you have originally?
18:54Three rooms.
18:55Three rooms?
18:56How many people?
18:5713 people.
18:58Did you have a room for 13 people?
19:01I think there are two or three people now.
19:04There are a lot of riders.
19:07Do they come here for touring?
19:09Yes.
19:12There is a car.
19:13He is my husband.
19:14Your husband?
19:15Yes.
19:16He is Mr. Ozawa.
19:17That's right.
19:18He came here by T-truck.
19:20He is my husband.
19:21He is Mr. Juseishi.
19:23He is a cow farmer.
19:26Mr. Juseishi.
19:29Hello.
19:30Hello.
19:31I'm sorry to come here suddenly.
19:35I was watching TV.
19:37Were you watching TV?
19:39You really came here.
19:40Yes, I came here.
19:43I was surprised.
19:44Do you live here?
19:46No, I don't live here.
19:48You don't live here, do you?
19:49No, I don't live here.
19:50We came here to get this satellite photo.
19:55I'm sure it's here.
19:56I think so.
19:58He is my husband.
20:00He is your husband.
20:02Excuse me.
20:03When did you get remarried?
20:05It's been 12 or 13 years.
20:06It's been 12 or 13 years.
20:08My ex-husband passed away in 2019.
20:12Was he sick?
20:13Yes, he had cancer.
20:15After you got remarried, did you live alone?
20:19Yes.
20:20I worked as a cow farmer for 3 or 4 years.
20:23I had a girlfriend.
20:27Then I attacked her.
20:30Did you attack your wife?
20:32Did you attack Toru?
20:35I've been single all the time.
20:38I see.
20:39I'm now running a dairy farm.
20:44I used to run a cow farm.
20:47Did you run a cow farm?
20:48Yes.
20:49I got sick.
20:52So I quit.
20:54Did you run a cow farm when your ex-husband passed away?
20:57Yes.
20:58What made you attack Toru?
21:02He was a serious man.
21:05He was cool at that time.
21:07He was cool at that time.
21:09Is he cool now?
21:11I'm not sure.
21:14Did you have a wedding after you got remarried?
21:18We all got together and had a wedding.
21:23Did you work as a cow farmer here?
21:27Yes, I did.
21:29How many cows do you have in a day?
21:32I have 5 or 10 cows.
21:36Is it hard to have one cow?
21:39Yes.
21:40Some cows go wild.
21:42Some cows kick me.
21:44They kick me here and there.
21:47Aren't they injured?
21:48Those cows are big.
21:50Yes, they are.
21:52I don't have a certificate.
21:55I see.
22:01Mr. Kimiko Ozawa used to run a cow farm in Hokkaido.
22:11He quit the farm two weeks ago because of a light stroke.
22:20Can I go to the cow farm over there?
22:25There are many dogs.
22:27There are many dogs.
22:29How many dogs do you have at the entrance?
22:34I have 5 dogs.
22:365 dogs?
22:37This is Kaiken.
22:38Kaiken.
22:39What's his name?
22:40Komugi.
22:41Komugi.
22:42He is a female.
22:43There is a white dog in the middle.
22:45This is Choco.
22:47Choco?
22:48He is a dog that goes to a dog shelter.
22:51I feel sorry for him.
22:53He is getting bigger and bigger.
22:55He is protecting a dog that is about to be disposed of.
22:59What's the dog at the end?
23:01It's Moko.
23:02Moko?
23:03His fur is fluffy.
23:05He is old.
23:07He is 10 years old.
23:09He is 10 years old.
23:10There are 2 dogs at the entrance.
23:14Do you have 5 dogs?
23:16I feel sorry for them.
23:18I feel sorry for them.
23:20He barks a lot.
23:23There are a lot of bears around here.
23:26Bears?
23:27Deer come right in front of my house.
23:30Deer?
23:31Yes.
23:33Bears?
23:34Bears.
23:35Bears?
23:36Bears?
23:37Bears?

23:41All my family used to live here.
23:44There is a building in the forest.
23:48Is this your original home?
23:51Yes.
23:52My family used to live here.
23:55It collapsed because of the wind.
23:57Yes.
23:58It collapsed.
23:59It's rotting.
24:00Yes.
24:01How long did you live here?
24:04Until 32 years ago.
24:05You lived here until 32 years ago.
24:08Who lived here?
24:10My husband, 2 children, my grandmother and my grandfather.
24:146 people including you?
24:16Yes.
24:17We lived in a house made of soil.
24:19It snowed in winter.
24:21It's my first time.
24:23I was surprised when I entered this old house.
24:26When I put water in a cup at night, it freezes.
24:30You are originally from Hokkaido.
24:32I'm from Hokkaido, but I was born in Kushiro.
24:35You were born in Kushiro.
24:37You got married here.
24:39Yes.
24:40Is the environment different here?
24:42Yes.
24:43It's minus 37 degrees here in winter.
24:49I can't imagine.
24:51Minus 37 degrees?
24:52Yes.
24:54How many children do you have?
24:56I have a daughter and a son.
25:00I have two sons.
25:02I have a daughter and a son.
25:04Do they come out of the house?
25:08Yes.
25:09They come out from time to time.
25:11I can see a building.
25:13What is this?
25:14This is a dry warehouse.
25:16A dry warehouse?
25:17Yes.
25:18There is a big steam locomotive.
25:20I ride this steam locomotive and feed cows.
25:25There is a round roll in the back.
25:28Yes.
25:29Is that a cow's food?
25:30Yes.
25:31Do you drive this?
25:33Do you drive this?
25:34Yes.
25:35This is still small.
25:37I used to ride a 100cc steam locomotive.
25:39A 100cc steam locomotive?
25:40This is a large bulldozer.
25:42Is there a large bulldozer?
25:43This is a large bulldozer.
25:44This is a small one.
25:45Is this a small one?
25:47Yes.
25:48It's big enough.
25:49It's small.
25:50It was big before.
25:52You drive this and make a round roll.
25:57I make a round roll.
25:59It's cool.
26:01This round roll is big.
26:03How big is this?
26:05This is about 170 cm long.
26:08Is this about 170 cm long?
26:09This is about 170 cm long.
26:10This is about 170 cm long.
26:11This is not enough for a person.
26:13How many days do you feed this?
26:17I feed one cow a day.
26:19Do you feed one cow a day?
26:20Yes.
26:21I feed about 60 cows a day.
26:22Did you feed that many cows?
26:23Did you feed that many cows a day?
26:2460 cows?
26:25Yes.
26:26When I don't have enough food, I feed one cow a day.
26:30I feed the cows a lot of grass.
26:33Do you feed a lot of grass and cows food at the same time?
26:37I feed grass to cows once a month.
26:40Is it the owner of the dominion who makes this round roll?
26:43It's the owner's friend who makes round rolls.
26:47So I bring the round rolls to him when I make them.
26:49This is amazing.
26:53I can see it.
26:55This is a bulldozer.
26:56Did you buy 60 bulldozers here?
26:59That's right.
27:00I see.
27:01The pregnant cows are kept in the barn.
27:04Is it better to buy them outside?
27:07Yes.
27:08It's better to buy the pregnant cows outside and have them exercise.
27:11I see.
27:12This is the inside.
27:13The ground is made of soil.
27:15It's a space where cows are kept.
27:17It's empty now.
27:19Did you keep cows until about two weeks ago?
27:22Yes, I did.
27:23That's a long time.
27:24Did you run up the hill?
27:26Yes, I built this all by myself.
27:28My ex-husband and his friend built it.
27:32Did they make it by hand?
27:33Yes, they did.
27:35That's amazing.
27:36Cows live in a place with a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius.
27:40It must be cold here.
27:42Yes, it's cold and there are no walls.
27:44How old were the cows you bought here?
27:47They were born between 12 and 24 months old.
27:52So you bought cows that were 1 to 2 years old here.
27:56Did you make them pregnant?
27:59Yes, I did.
28:00Did you give them back to you when they were pregnant?
28:02Yes, I did.
28:03Didn't you make them pregnant in the original farm?
28:06I did, but there were too many cows.
28:09There weren't many people around.
28:12Is it easier to keep cows that can't be imported during pregnancy?
28:17Yes, it is.
28:18Is it easier?
28:19Yes.
28:20I didn't know there was such a thing.
28:23What did your family do when you were born in Kushiro?
28:27My family was a fisherman.
28:29What kind of fish did you catch?
28:33We caught crabs and salmon.
28:35Crabs and salmon?
28:36Yes.
28:37So you didn't do any farm work until you got married?
28:41No, I didn't.
28:42So you came here and learned everything?
28:44Yes.
28:45That's amazing.
28:46How big is this farm?
28:49I think it's about 12 to 13 hectares.
28:52I think it's about 12 to 13 hectares.
28:54I think it's about 1.4 billion.
28:571.4 billion?
28:58It's about 400 hectares.
29:00It's about 400 hectares.
29:02Can you manage one cow at a time?
29:04Which cow is grazing outside?
29:06Not at all.
29:07Not at all?
29:08I can't do it if I don't do it with four people.
29:10I can do it with 100 cows if I do it alone.
29:12That's amazing.
29:14You can do it with 100 cows alone.
29:17I ran away from home several times and asked my friends to help me.
29:21Did you run away from home?
29:22Yes, I did.
29:23Did you look for a cow in the mountains?
29:25Yes.
29:26You said this is a place where you can experience farming.
29:31Where did you do it?
29:32I did it at a cow farm over there.
29:35I fed the cows.
29:37Oh, you did farm work.
29:38Yes.
29:39And I took the kids to the top of the mountain.
29:43To the top of the mountain?
29:44Yes.
29:45It's quite high, isn't it?
29:46Yes, it is.
29:47But everyone was just rolling around and playing.
29:52I see.
29:53You mean the cows were grazing.
29:54Yes.
29:55I chased the cows and ran.
29:58It's a place where you can experience farming and interact with nature.
30:04Yes.
30:06It's a farmhouse where you can take care of the cows and experience farm work.
30:16It seems that there are many ways to enjoy it among the guests.
30:23When students come here, they set up a tent here and have a barbecue here.
30:29I also made all the vegetables, so they can eat them while picking them.
30:34What do you grow in this field?
30:38I grow leeks, onions, cabbages, carrots, and radishes.
30:43I also have potatoes.
30:45What is this?
30:46It's a cucumber.
30:47A cucumber?
30:48Wait a minute.
30:49Wow, it's amazing.
30:50It's very big.
30:51It's a very big cucumber.
30:53Can I touch it?
30:54Go ahead.
30:55It's heavy.
30:57It's amazing.
30:58It's about ten times heavier than a normal cucumber.
31:02But it's a normal cucumber.
31:03When I asked my friend to pick it up and eat it, it turned yellow.
31:07You can eat it raw.
31:08Can you eat it raw?
31:09Yes.
31:10So I told him to leave it alone.
31:12The tip of the cucumber turned yellow.
31:15It's a cucumber because it's yellow.
31:17I see.
31:18Is that a carrot?
31:20That's right.
31:21I'll harvest it in a little while and put it in a hole.
31:24Put it in a hole?
31:25I put the potatoes in a hole.
31:27Do you dig a hole in the field?
31:28Yes, I dig a hole.
31:29When the surroundings start to freeze, I dig a hole.
31:31Do you dig a hole in winter?
31:32Yes.
31:33Then I put it in the house.
31:35Is it like a storage room?
31:37Yes.
31:38Then the sweetness of the potatoes will come out.
31:41I see.
31:43What's that white net over there?
31:46That's cabbage.
31:47It's about 10 kg.
31:4910 kg?
31:50Is it one ball?
31:51Yes.
31:52It's pretty big.
31:53I don't want to use pesticides, so I cover it with a net so that insects don't come.
31:59It's a big net.
32:00Is this going to be a 10 kg ball?
32:02Yes.
32:03That's amazing.
32:04When will this be completed?
32:06It will be completed in October.
32:09In October?
32:10Yes.
32:11Once it's cooked, the sweetness will come out.
32:14Onions are next to it.
32:15Onions.
32:16I'm going to give this to my friends and tell them to take it and eat it.
32:20Can your friends come here freely and pick vegetables and go home?
32:24That's right.
32:26That's amazing.
32:28It's a system like that.
32:29It's like a vegetable shop.
32:35It's amazing.
32:36It's fresh.
32:39It sounds good.
32:40It's sweet.
32:42If you want to see the whole thing again, go to TVER.
32:46Is this a small one?
32:47If you register as a favorite, it will be even more convenient.
32:52This building where Mr. Kimiko runs a farmhouse.
32:58It was originally built as a family home 32 years ago.

33:11That's fine.
33:12Thank you very much.

34:14On the contrary, I'm happy.
34:16I can't get through.
34:18You're happy that you can't get through.

38:44KIMIKO-SAN, who serves food to the search party,
38:50called Marina, the granddaughter of the cook, to help her.
39:01I put the potatoes in here.
39:03Did you put the potatoes in here?
39:04Yes.
39:07It's true.
39:08The potatoes came out.
39:10That's great.
39:11Do you put the potatoes in the soil?
39:14Yes, I do.
39:15Do you grow potatoes in the soil?
39:18Yes.
39:19I don't think many people grow potatoes in the soil.
39:22Who taught you how to grow potatoes?
39:24My ex-husband's mother taught me how to grow potatoes.
39:29She said it was delicious.
39:32Do you often grow potatoes in the soil?
39:34Yes, I do.
39:35Do you grow potatoes in the soil?
39:36I also grow carrots in the soil.
39:38This is a potato.
39:40This is a carrot.
39:41This is a carrot.
39:42This is a carrot leaf.
39:45Sometimes I make a mistake, so I put a carrot leaf on it.
39:49Is that a mark?
39:50Yes, it is.
39:51It's a carrot leaf.
39:52I feel like it's going to grow again in the soil.
39:55No, I cut it like this.
40:00Do you plant it as it is with the leaves cut off?
40:03Yes, I plant it as it is.
40:05Unlike other potatoes, this is called KITAAKARI.
40:10It's yellow.
40:12It's beautiful.
40:13It's beautiful yellow.
40:15It's a little darker than other potatoes.
40:19Do you have a variety of carrots?
40:22I choose the darkest color.
40:25It's called Beni-Ninjin.
40:27Beni-Ninjin?
40:28I love carrots, so I make a lot of them and eat them raw.
40:34It's a snack.
40:37After harvesting once, the leaves are taken and planted again in the field.
40:42Potatoes and carrots are stored in the soil.
40:48Marina rinses the soil with spring water from the mountain.
40:55She peels the skin of the potatoes with a peeler.
41:02I love cooking.
41:04Do you like cooking?
41:05My mom is good at cooking, and Kimi-chan is also good at cooking.

41:33It's turning yellow.
41:36It's turning yellow.
41:38It's getting darker.
41:39It looks delicious.
41:40Are you making a salad?
41:41I'm making croquettes.
41:42Croquettes?
41:43I see.
41:45Transfer the boiled potatoes to a grater.
41:50Blanch them in a pan and let them cool.
41:54The rule of a farmhouse is to help the guests prepare meals.
42:00I just need to mash them, right?
42:02You need to mash them until they are sticky.
42:04Until they are sticky?
42:05Yes, until they are sticky.
42:06The potatoes?
42:07Yes.
42:08The potatoes will be soft and sticky.
42:12I see.
42:14The potatoes have been mashed.
42:16Do you need to mash them more?
42:17I need to mash them for 30 to 40 minutes.
42:19What?
42:20I need to mash them for an hour.
42:22Are you serious?
42:23I need to mash them until they are sticky.
42:26They are sticky.
42:28Yes, they are sticky.
42:29Wow.
42:31What are you doing?
42:32I'm making a snack for the guests.
42:34I see.
42:35It's not the time to buy and eat anything.
42:39I see.
42:40It's a lot of work to make a snack.
42:43Yes.
42:44It requires a lot of effort.
42:45This is a sweet potato rice cake.
42:46A sweet potato rice cake.
42:47Yes, a sweet potato rice cake.
42:48Wow, it looks like this.
42:50What are you going to do?
42:51Are you going to bake it?
42:52What am I going to do?
42:54This is a cheese fondue stuffed with pumpkin and corn.
43:00This is a salmon miso soup with a lot of vegetables from the field.
43:07This is a roast of wild deer meat from a local farmer.
43:12Wow, you are taking a lot of things.
43:15This is okra flowers from a relative.
43:19This is deep-fried in oil.
43:22You are eating okra flowers.
43:25This is a steamed rice with rawan-buki, which is famous as the biggest fuki in Japan.
43:33Oh, my.
43:34He cooks well from one dish to the next.
43:38There are a lot of delicious dishes on the table.
43:43Can I eat this?
43:44Yes, please.
43:46Can I eat what I like?
43:47Yes, please.
43:48This is a sweet potato rice cake.
43:49Can I tear this?
43:51Yes, you can.
43:52Oh, it came off.
43:53I put a little bit of sugar.
43:55Sugar?
43:56Yes, sugar.
43:57This is sugar.
43:58This is sugar.
43:59This is sugar.
44:00Wow, I feel like I'm eating a rice cake.
44:05This is very elastic.
44:07Thank you for it.
44:13It's delicious.
44:15When I put it in my mouth, it's like a melting rice cake.
44:19And I can taste the potato.
44:22It's amazing.
44:24It's delicious.
44:25Okra tempura.
44:27Okra tempura.
44:28With salt.
44:30With salt?
44:31Yes, with salt.
44:32This is my first time to eat okra flower tempura.
44:35I wonder how it tastes.
44:37I'll try it.
44:38How is it?
44:42I don't think it tastes good.
44:43The texture of the flower is similar to that of okra.
44:46It's a little sticky.
44:47Yes, it's sticky.
44:48When I close my eyes and eat it, I feel like I'm eating okra.
44:53It's just okra.
44:54It's delicious.
44:55I'll try the rice.
44:57This is rawanbuki.
44:58Rawanbuki.
44:59It's cut into small pieces, so I don't know how big it is.
45:02Originally, it was about 2 meters long.
45:04That's right.
45:05It's very big.
45:07I can't believe it.
45:08I'll try it.
45:13The texture is very crispy.
45:15Raw okra is more crispy.
45:17It has a stronger scent.
45:19I see.
45:20It's delicious.
45:22I'll try the miso soup.
45:24Radish, leeks, potatoes, and carrots are all vegetables grown in my own field.
45:36It smells good.
45:37The vegetables are sweet overall.
45:40It's very delicious.
45:42Do people who come to stay here help you to make this food?
45:46Yes.
45:47Do they eat dinner together?
45:49Yes.
45:52Kimiko-san, there are a lot of trees around here, right?
45:58Yes.
45:59It's a large area.
46:00What will you do with the ranch?
46:04I don't know what to do.
46:08It's true that I'm going to move to another place after I get married.
46:13But I've been here for a long time.
46:16My ancestors are here, so I can't leave them alone.
46:20My grandchildren and daughters want to take a rest in a villa.
46:30It's a little sad that this place is completely gone.
46:34I want to live here until Marina gets married and has children.
46:41I want to live here until I have children and bring them here.
46:46I want to do my best until then.
46:48Until you have children.
46:49It's wonderful.
46:52She got married at the age of 19 and spent half a century in this land.
46:58She stopped farming for a long time in the summer of this year.
47:03But Kimiko-san still wants to do her best here.
47:08One day, Marina-san, her granddaughter, will get married.
47:12She is looking forward to the day when she will come to play with her grandchildren.
47:17Until then, she will go to a small house in the northern land
47:23with the support of a serious and cool dog.
47:27She will continue to live in a farmhouse.
47:33It was good.
47:35It's deep in the mountains.
47:37It goes down to more than 30 degrees.
47:39What happened to the cows?
47:41Are they really okay?
47:43I went to a ranch in Hokkaido in the winter because it was snowing heavily.
47:49At that time, the cows were in good condition.
47:53It's hot in the summer, so it's cool in the winter.
47:57Vegetables grown in such a good soil are delicious.
48:02There are so many vegetables.
48:04I'm sure she wants to buy a cow.
48:07Because it's nostalgic.
48:08I think so.
48:10Cows will be surprised if a cow is so big.
48:12Certainly.
48:13But if I have a cow, I have to take care of it all day.
48:17I see.
48:18I can't leave it.
