00:00It's amazing.
00:02It's really popping out.
00:04Why?
00:06There are unbelievable houses in the world that make you wonder why they live in such a place.
00:12At first glance, it looks like a normal house.
00:15But in fact, there are houses in the middle of the kitchen with a ceiling.
00:21There are houses on the stairs of the abandoned house to make cheese.
00:29We thoroughly investigated the abandoned houses all over Japan.
00:34So...
00:36What is this house?
00:38A mysterious abandoned house.
00:40Do you know the secret of this house?
00:44First, we came to Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture.
00:48There is a mysterious village that is located in an unbelievable place.
00:53A village?
00:55We asked the people in the village.
00:59It looks a little strange.
01:02I saw a picture of a drone from above.
01:05When I saw it, I was surprised.
01:08It was the first time I saw it from above.
01:10This is the village.
01:13It is shown on this screen now.
01:16Do you know?
01:17A village?
01:19Mr. Kenjiro Yamashita, please answer.
01:24It is located above Okayama Castle.
01:28I see.
01:30It is a mysterious village that is located in an unbelievable place.
01:34That is...
01:35What is this?
01:36Where is it?
01:37It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:38It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:39It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:40It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:41It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:42It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:43It's a bridge, isn't it?
01:45The correct answer is...
01:46What is this?
01:47It's in the middle of the river.
01:51Why is there a village in such a place?
01:55It's hard to understand if you don't see it from above.
01:57I asked the people who live here directly.
02:02Why did you build a house on the river?
02:06Originally, there was such a thing as a water gate made of stone.
02:11I was in charge of this water gate.
02:15The reason why people began to live in the middle of the river
02:19was to manage the water gate.
02:22Moreover, its history is old.
02:26Actually, it was built in the Edo period.
02:28It's a Kanta area around here.
02:31It was built on the bank and stopped the water of the river.
02:35It also stopped the water of the sea.
02:38In fact, this area was a Kanta area that could stop the water of the sea and river in the Edo period.
02:48People began to live here to manage the water gate.
02:53Since then, this village has been called Suimon-cho.
03:00The most exciting thing about living on the river is...
03:06Fishing from home.
03:09I used to be a fisherman.
03:12Can you go out to the sea?
03:14Yes, I can go out to the sea.
03:17Next, we came to Odate City, Akita Prefecture.
03:22It's fun to live here.
03:24This is the only family that lives in Japan.
03:29Is this the house?
03:35It looks like an ordinary house with a little taste.
03:40In fact, this is the only house in Japan.
03:45I asked the people in the town.
03:49It's a little slippery.
03:53I think that building is tough.
03:56It's fun to look at.
03:59This is the owner of the house.
04:04It's a house, but a lot of people come in.
04:08This is the best place for those who like it.
04:12I have a question for Mr. Tokoro.
04:15What is the best part of this house?
04:19I think everyone is practicing Akita Ondo.
04:25It looks like a studio.
04:29The answer is...
04:31This is the back door.
04:34If you go to the front, you can see that there is a separate room.
04:56Please come in.
04:59When you enter the house, you will find something like a reception or lobby.
05:08If you go further in...
05:17This is the movie theater.
05:19I live in the movie theater.
05:22This house is actually a movie theater.
05:28This is a movie theater with a retro atmosphere.
05:34The Kirikaesan family runs this movie theater.
05:39They live in the building of the movie theater.
05:44Why do they live here?
05:50My husband works in the construction industry.
05:55He was in charge of long-term construction in Odate City.
05:59I rented this house as a temporary residence.
06:04About 10 years ago, her husband was looking for a house in Odate City because of his work.
06:12They met in 1952.
06:16They moved here in 2005.
06:21It was about 70 years ago.
06:23The house itself was old, so they could rent it at a low price.
06:29After that, something unexpected happened.
06:34The local people misunderstood that the movie theater would be restored.
06:41They didn't plan it at first, but the Kirikaesan family loved movies.
06:48The Kirikaesan family responded to the expectations of the local people.
06:54In 2014, they reopened the movie theater with their own hands.
07:00It's a good story.
07:01They rented a theater room and watched a movie.
07:05It's a good thing to be at home.
07:09Now, the Kirikaesan family is loved by many people.
07:16Next, we visited Nobeoka City in Kitagawa Prefecture, Miyazaki Prefecture.
07:22They live in a temporary residence.
07:27In fact, they are the only couple in Japan who live in a temporary residence.
07:36I asked them to show me the way to their house.
07:40It's a castle.
07:41No way.
07:43It's a huge gate.
07:45Yes.
07:46They live in this house.
07:49It's a huge gate that doesn't look like a normal house.
07:54And beyond that is...
07:57Isn't it a castle?
07:59It's very high.
08:02This is called the stone wall of Senringoroshi.
08:05There was a Nobeoka Castle on this wall.
08:09This castle was built in 1603 by Takahashi Mototani.
08:15This castle was selected as one of the 100 best castles in Japan.
08:20It's the birthplace of Nobeoka Castle.
08:23The temporary residence where they live is in the capital of Nobeoka Castle.
08:30This is their house.
08:34They are standing quietly in front of the stone wall.
08:40It's amazing.
08:42However, a castle is usually managed by the local government.
08:46So they can't build a house.
08:50Why can they live here?
08:54We were chosen by the governor to live in a house managed by the governor.
09:03Surprisingly, this house is allowed to live under certain conditions.
09:09Why did the governor build this house?
09:11And...
09:12I lost 5 kg in a month since I came here.
09:15Why?
09:17Mr. Hidaka lost 5 kg in a month to meet certain conditions.
09:25I have a question for Mr. Shimizu.
09:28What do you think are the conditions for living in a house managed by the governor?
09:34They are in charge of the house.
09:38They are in charge of the castle.
09:40The answer is...
09:46Mr. Hidaka went to the stone wall at 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
09:54He climbed up the stone wall and kept climbing.
10:00It took 10 minutes.
10:02We arrived.
10:04What are the surprising conditions for living in a castle?
10:10What are the conditions for living in a castle?
10:12What are the conditions for living in a castle?
10:15WAKEARI HOUSE in Nobeoka Castle, Miyazaki Prefecture.
10:21What are the conditions for living in a castle?
10:31Are these the conditions?
10:33Every day.
10:35Every day.
10:37I was commissioned by the city hall to work as a moneylender.
10:41I was commissioned by the city hall to work as a moneylender.
10:43Moneylender is a person who makes money on behalf of himself.
10:50This money has been passed down from 1848.
10:58Mr. Hidaka and his wife are the 8th generation of moneylenders in Nobeoka City.
11:056 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
11:12There are a total of 6 floors.
11:15Do you go up and down the steep hill every time?
11:19Yes.
11:20This is hard.
11:21Mr. Hidaka has been a moneylender for 7 years.
11:25In addition to the time of the typhoon, he has continued to make money.
11:31Whatever happens, money comes first.
11:36This is the money.
11:39This is the money.
11:42You should have installed a motor there.
11:46You should have installed a motor there.
11:49I don't do it even if I come up with it.
11:52I want people to do it.
11:54You can say that you are doing it.
