00:00The town where the old men gather is called Biru-Ari.
00:14It is the paradise of the Showa period.
00:20The town where the old men gather is called Biru-Ari.
00:34Hello, I'm Zen Katihara from Biru-Ari.
00:37Today, I'm going to visit
00:40the Ido-Gaya Bridge.
00:45Ido-Gaya!
00:47It's not Hodo-Gaya, it's Ido-Gaya.
00:50Hodo-Gaya is Yokohama's Hodo-Gaya.
00:54Ido-Gaya is Yokohama's Ido-Gaya.
00:57There is a place called Ido-Gaya.
01:00This time, the train from Yokohama Station
01:03takes about 10 minutes.
01:07Ido-Gaya is a bed town in Minamiku, Yokohama City.
01:14Speaking of Ido-Gaya,
01:16this is Shimizu-gaoka Park.
01:19Here is...
01:24This big tree.
01:26In fact, it is the representative song of Yuzu,
01:29an artist from Yokohama.
01:31It is on the location with an empty CD jacket.
01:34Even now, it is loved as a landmark of the town.
01:38Let's walk.
01:40This is a walkway.
01:42Is it this way?
01:44Hey, Mr. Zen.
01:46Don't talk too much and walk quickly.
01:49Ido-Gaya Bridge.
01:53Oh!
01:55What is this?
01:57It's not here.
01:59After the Ido-Gaya incident.
02:01What?
02:02There seems to be something.
02:04The Ido-Gaya incident is the same as the Namamugi incident.
02:07This is the site of the Ido-Gaya incident.
02:10What?
02:14In 1863, shortly after the opening of the Yokohama Port,
02:21the French embassy attacked Ido-Gaya City.
02:26The so-called Ido-Gaya Incident took place.
02:31It is said that it was one of the triggers of the Meiji Restoration
02:36along with the British slaughter incident and the Namamugi incident
02:40that took place the year before that.
02:47This is the top.
02:49That's the top.
02:51I didn't know that.
02:57I see.
02:59If you go to Namamugi,
03:01you can see Iri-ehi in the same way.
03:04Yes.
03:05How is it?
03:06It's a little over there.
03:08Namamugi also had Iri-ehi.
03:19What you see on the right is Iri-ehi.
03:21What?
03:22This?
03:24I found it.
03:30Is this a triangle?
03:32Yes.
03:33This building.
03:34The upper part is a residential area,
03:39but it looks modern.
03:41The feeling of the veranda above.
03:44Dia Palace?
03:45Yes.
03:46Dia Palace is famous, isn't it?
03:48Yes, it is.
03:51This time, we're going to visit
03:54the Dia Palace Idogaya,
03:58which was built in 1955, 45 years ago.
04:04Looking from the top,
04:06it has a triangular shape like this.
04:11The building has seven floors.
04:14On the first and second floors,
04:16there are about 30 shops,
04:18and on the third floor and above,
04:20it is a residential area.
04:25By the way,
04:26this year when the building was built,
04:28Channels' record debut,
04:30Runaway, was a big hit.
04:37And this Dia Palace is a military apartment
04:40built by the Dia family.
04:43In the last century,
04:45more than 2,000 buildings were built
04:48in 42 prefectures around the country.
04:53Mr. Kiyoshi used to sing
04:56this song, Tokyo Desert.
04:58It was often played in commercials.
05:03Shall we go around?
05:05Yes.
05:06There's a convenience store.
05:09Wow, it's written in great handwriting.
05:15Let's stop by later.
05:17Good luck.
05:19Sakura.
05:20For women only.
05:21Too bad.
05:25There's a cool coffee shop.
05:28The coffee shop is nice.
05:30There's a lot of food.
05:33Let's go.
05:36Let's cross the street.
05:38It's cool here.
05:40I used to make Tsubame Nasu.
05:52What's this?
05:54It's amazing.
05:56Dia Palace
06:03It's amazing.
06:10It's a nice Dia Palace.
06:16Dia Palace
06:23Is this closed?
06:31It's only open on weekends.
06:35It's open today, right?
06:37Yes.
06:38It's closed at 5.30 p.m.
06:41It doesn't look like it's open.
06:47Let's enjoy the evening.
06:51This way, please.
06:55There's a lot of entrances.
07:00It's a mysterious izakaya.
07:05It's written in great handwriting.
07:08But this is...
07:11It's the smallest number of tenants since the show started.
07:17It's a good place for body maintenance.
07:20Mr. Hiroko Omura.
07:22I'd like to ask you something.
07:24Family Mart is a good place.
07:26Go to a bong shop,
07:28drink coffee,
07:33and get a two-hour body maintenance.
07:37Then, you can drink a lot of coffee at Yajiroba.
07:40If you drink a lot, you can drink a lot.
07:42If you don't, you can't.
07:45There are some shops that don't have a signboard.
07:48Really?
07:49The shops that don't have a signboard?
07:51There's no Chinese restaurant, is there?
07:53No.
07:55Shall we go to a stationery store?
07:57Yes.
07:58Yajiroba Stationery Store
08:06There are a lot of things here.
08:08Excuse me.
08:10I'm on a show called Bill Blatt from BS Fuji.
08:15You've been doing this for a long time, right?
08:18Yes.
08:19I've been doing this for 45 years, just like Bill Blatt.
08:23Did you work at a stationery store before?
08:26I was a little out of the way.
08:29Just a little.
08:31Your husband?
08:33Your husband?
08:34Yes.
08:35He's my brother.
08:36Oh, you're brothers.
08:37So you're like a double husband, right?
08:39Yes, that's right.
08:42What's the difference?
08:45I'm the president and he's the healer.
08:48Is that so?
08:50Can I take a look?
08:51Yes, please.
08:54You still have a pencil case like this.
08:57That's right.
08:59It's not easy, is it?
09:01It was banned at school.
09:03The sound was noisy.
09:05I see.
09:07Oh, that's right.
09:09When I took it out from the bottom, it made a noise.
09:12At that time, most of us were like that.
09:16What's this?
09:17This is a sharpener.
09:19It's over there.
09:20I sharpen it like this.
09:21Pencil sharpener?
09:22Yes.
09:23This is for this, right?
09:25You don't have to turn the pencil.
09:27I do it like this.
09:29Put this in and hold it.
09:34Oh, it's making a sound.
09:35It's making a sound.
09:36The sound of wood being sharpened.
09:38But this is a good idea, isn't it?
09:41It's better than moving a pencil.
09:45Let's start.
09:52The pencil is good, isn't it?
09:54It's good.
09:55But I don't know how much you sharpened.
09:58Oh, it's good.
09:59You did your best.
10:01It's good.
10:04This is Sakami Bunguya, who has been in business since the opening of the building in 1955.
10:15His brother, Tadashi Sakami, and his younger brother, Tadaki, are in charge.
10:23His brother, Mr. Tadashi, likes stationery.
10:27This store is characterized by a variety of rare items.
10:37This is the same as the building.
10:39Yes, it is.
10:40This is not square.
10:44Mr. Zen, you noticed it well.
10:46The shape of the building is triangular.
10:50The windows of other stores are rectangular.
10:54Because of that, the store became triangular.
11:01What did you think of this building when you first came here?
11:05At first, it was bustling.
11:09Because there weren't many buildings in this area.
11:15And there weren't many stores.
11:18And this area is a residential area, so people lived here.
11:22It was bustling, wasn't it?
11:37Until the Taisho era, the area was a rural area.
11:43After the Great Kanto Earthquake, the victims moved from the center of Yokohama.
11:49As a result, the area gradually became a residential area.
11:57In 1955, the Dia Palace was built.
12:04Looking at the pamphlets of the time,
12:08it is written that it was built in the center of an amenity society.
12:16An amenity society means a comfortable society.
12:21It was built as a symbolic building that pursued the comfort of the city.
12:28It's been 45 years since it was built.
12:31The Dia Palace Idogaya is still loved by the people of the area.
12:38What is the oldest building here?
12:41The oldest building?
12:43What is this?
12:45This is a mechanical pencil.
12:47What?
12:49The ballpoint pen.
12:51This is a mechanical pencil.
12:53A mechanical pencil?
12:56The back is normal.
12:58What?
12:59What is this? It's hard to write.
13:03It's not easy to write.
13:05You can't even use this for a spy operation.
13:10I wish I could get one.
13:12Another one.
13:14There was no such function at that time.
13:16It's been more than 30 years.
13:1830 years?
13:19This is a ballpoint pen.
13:20It takes a lot of time to get it out.
13:26I got it out, but I can't write.
13:29The inside has deteriorated.
13:31In the old days, ballpoint pens didn't work.
13:35That's a shame.
13:37I wish I could get one.
13:41Mr. Sakabe, I wish you a long and happy life.
13:48Thank you very much.
13:55I wish you a long and happy life.
14:05Mr. Sakabe is wandering around Idogaya, a diamond palace in Yokohama City.
14:17Kimimi Tamago.
14:19Kimimi Tamago.
14:22It's written as Kimimi Tamago.
14:26Let's go inside.
14:29Excuse me.
14:31Thank you for waiting.
14:33I'm wandering around the building of BS Fuji.
14:37It's much more beautiful and new than outside.
14:42Where should I go?
14:44This way, please.
14:46I'll show you the menu.
14:48Okay.
14:49How long have you run this restaurant?
14:52About 35 years.
14:55Have you been doing this for 30 years?
14:58No, I'm the second generation.
15:00Oh, you're the second generation.
15:02Are you the father?
15:03Yes, I am.
15:04I started it.
15:06Chinese restaurant, China Hanten, on the first floor of the building.
15:1135 years ago, it was founded by the father of the predecessor, Mr. Kengo.
15:16It's been 13 years since then.
15:22There are many dishes that the locals love.
15:29What do you recommend?
15:31I recommend chicken fried rice.
15:33Can I have that?
15:35Sure.
15:36I'll bring it in.
15:46It looks like a lot of rice.
15:53Thank you for waiting.
15:56Chicken fried rice.
15:57Is this normal?
15:59Yes, it is.
16:00Did you prepare it for the show?
16:01No, I didn't.
16:05This is the popular chicken fried rice.
16:09The amount of rice is about four bowls of rice.
16:14The amount of rice is about 900 grams.
16:19There is also a large serving of rice.
16:24The Americans will be surprised.
16:26Really?
16:27Yes.
16:33Thank you for it.
16:36It's good.
16:42I can't remember what I wrote in the picture.
16:48This is the ideal taste of fried rice.
16:51It's good.
16:54I'll try the fried chicken.
16:56It's hot.
16:58I'm happy that it's just fried.
17:01The thickness is good.
17:03Really?
17:04It's easy to eat.
17:06Do you have many children?
17:08Yes, I have many children.
17:13Why do you have so much food?
17:17My father is a big eater.
17:21I started to serve food to customers.
17:25When your father opened this restaurant, how old was your son?
17:30He was 30 years old.
17:32He was 3 or 4 years old.
18:32It's good.
18:34It's good.
18:57My family is a restaurant owner.
19:02I don't have many customers.
19:04Is that so?
19:06It's tough.
19:07It's tough.
19:33Fried rice
19:49I remember the taste of my father, but I couldn't reproduce it.
19:55When I served food to customers, they said,
19:57What is this fried rice?
19:58What is this dish?
20:00They were really angry.
20:02I'm glad to hear that.
20:04I was taught by those customers.
20:08I'm glad to hear that.
20:27Fried rice
20:35Does your father cook slowly now?
20:38He is in the nursing home now.
20:41It's safe.
20:43That's right.
20:44Was your son a big eater, too?
20:48I eat a lot.
20:49Compared to your father?
20:51My father eats more.
20:53Did he eat that much?
20:54He ate a lot.
20:55He ate a lot.
20:57Did he?
20:59It's amazing.
21:02He is not a big eater.
21:04Is that so?
21:06He eats a lot.
21:10Can I take this home?
21:13Of course.
21:14My son may be happy.
21:15Is that so?
21:16Because he likes fried rice.
21:17I'll take this home.
21:19Coffee and Parlor
21:21The first floor of Dia Palace Idogaya is the coffee and parlor, which opened at the opening of the building.
21:49The coffee and parlor is a place where you can feel the atmosphere of the Idogaya.

22:40It's a place where you can have a good cost performance.
22:46How long have you been here?
22:48It's been about four years.
22:51I come here more than 10 times a month.
22:55I feel calm here.
23:03Dia Palace Idogaya
23:14Mr. Zen is strolling around Dia Palace Idogaya in Yokohama City.
23:25It's a small house.
23:28There is a hallway in the building.
23:32There are six tenants.
23:37It's like a hospital.
23:39You can shoot a hospital scene here.
23:45What?
23:46I want to come here the most.
23:49Mr. Hiroko Omura's body was buried on the last day of December 29th.
24:00It was buried the day before yesterday.
24:04Really?
24:05That's too bad.
24:08What should I do?
24:15Let's go up to the second floor.
24:23It's beautiful.

25:30The others teach various things.
25:34I have been teaching various things.
25:36You also train your muscles.
25:41I do it there.
25:43Do you still do it?
25:45Shall we do it?
25:46Why don't you do it?
25:51Why don't you do it?
25:52You wear a suit?
25:54Because I'm light.
25:57This is how you do it.
25:59Wow!
26:02Wow, that's amazing.
26:04Can I stop now?
26:06Yes, you can.

26:40This is how you do it.
26:42That's interesting.
26:46Did you also do the height dance?
26:49Yes, I'm a teacher.
26:52Wow, that's amazing.
26:55Do you still do it?

26:59but I still do it when customers come.
27:01When you go to a movie theater,
27:03do you do it here?
27:05Yes, I do it 40 times a week.
27:08Can I take a picture?
27:10Oh, wait a minute.
27:12This is 30 years ago.
27:14The woman is upside down.
27:17Do I have to do this?
27:19Yes, that's right.
27:21I'm an ego.
27:23Oh, ego.
27:24Ego and golf.
27:26I'm the only one who plays golf.
27:29You brought this because you wanted to do it, right?
27:34How long have you been doing this?
27:37This place?
27:38I bought this place in 2026.
27:42So it's been 10 years, 8 years, 9 years.
27:45I have another one.
27:47What were you doing before that?
27:50Mr. Kanai was born and raised in Gunma Prefecture.
27:56He was very fast in high school.
28:02He was the fastest runner in Gunma Prefecture
28:05with a 100-meter run in 11.3 seconds.
28:11He even joined the national team as a representative of the prefecture.
28:19I was told to come to the university.
28:22I had to go to Japan.
28:24So I came to Zunte University.
28:30Even though he wanted to scout Mr. Kanai,
28:33he received a letter from the university.
28:37I'm not going to stop hoping that you'll come.
28:43I've never been told I'm not going to stop hoping.
28:48However, he was injured in his leg,
28:51so he got a job at a city office in Yokohama.
28:57His colleague taught him, and he fell in love with IGO.
29:03Then he studied hard in magazines and TV.
29:06On the 365th, he spent his days with IGO.
29:12He fell in love with it so much that he started an IGO club.
29:18When he was 36 years old,
29:21he couldn't dance at a dance party,
29:24so he started to learn high school dance.
29:30Then he got into high school dance,
29:33got a teacher's license, and opened a dance class.
29:37Life is so fast!
29:42If I'm going to do it, I'll become a teacher.
29:45If I'm going to do it, I'll become number one.
29:48I'll win.
29:50That's what I always thought.
29:53Now he's enjoying his hobby.
30:01I didn't know IGO was this big.
30:04There are a few more, but there are only two now.
30:08Have you done it, Mr. Kajiyama?
30:10My son did it,
30:13but I bought a book and haven't read it yet.
30:21Please flap your wings more and more.
30:30Hello.
30:32What do you do?
30:34Oh, you make Earth.
30:40I protect it.
30:42Nice to meet you.
30:44Hello.
30:48Isn't this your office?
30:51There used to be a south office here,
30:54so I have a lot to do with it.
30:56I see.
30:57But I moved.
30:59So you have a lot to do with it.
31:01That's right.
31:02This is the building.
31:04You're building a house and a building.
31:06I'm doing a lot of things.
31:08You're doing a lot of things.
31:10Because it's Earth.
31:14Thank you very much.
31:17What's this?
31:20I'll overlook this.
31:22What's this?
31:27Berry Dance Studio.
31:30Chie?
31:32I can hear you.
31:37I can't hear you.
31:41The women are dancing.
31:57I opened the door without permission.
31:59I didn't even say hello.
32:01Excuse me.
32:02Can you listen to me while dancing?
32:04I was curious about the tapestry on the table.
32:07If you look at the side, it says Berry Dance.
32:10Is this the Berry Dance Studio?
32:12That's right.
32:15Berry Dance is a dance from Egypt.
32:20It is characterized by dancing with a flexible belly and waist.
32:29In Egypt, wedding ceremonies are held at a celebration.
32:35Chie, the owner, was fascinated by Arab music when she was in her 20s.
32:40She continues to learn dance while visiting Egypt.
32:48There are also parties where people come to dance.
32:55That's right.
32:57I was wondering why it was called Berry Dance.
33:01Is it a celebration?
33:03That's right. It's gorgeous.
33:06Why did you start dancing?
33:09I was originally interested in Egypt.
33:12I was interested in pyramids and sphinxes.
33:14When I first went to Egypt, I saw people dancing while cruising.
33:20I thought it was a wonderful dance.
33:22I learned it in Japan.
33:24That's why I started dancing.
33:26My life was just going back and forth between work and home.
33:32It was a little colorful.
33:34It's like a charlie dance actor.
33:38Going back and forth between work and home.
33:41Has that changed anything?
33:43Yes, it's colorful.
33:46I think you're getting more and more energy.
33:48I'm practicing with everyone.
33:50It's an adult's youth.
33:52Did you start with moving your waist?
33:55That's right.
33:57What do you do first?
33:59Can you teach me?
34:03The most basic movement is to move your waist.
34:08My waist is going to hurt.
34:15Is it okay?
34:17I think it's okay.
34:19You have to do this, right?
34:21Yes.
34:23My waist hurts a little.
34:27Let's dance together.
34:29No, I don't think so.
34:31Let's do it together.
34:33Like this?
34:35That's right.
34:37It's wonderful.
34:39First, from the left foot.
34:41Left, right, left.
34:43Wait a minute.
34:45I'll do it again.
34:47Left, right, left.
34:49Left, right, left.
34:51Left, right, right.
34:53Then, two steps.
34:55This is not good.
34:59Zen-san, you're doing great.
35:01Let's dance.
35:03It's not so bad.
35:05Right?
35:07Do it yourself.
35:09It's coming.
35:11It's coming.
35:13It's coming.
35:15It's coming.
35:17From the left foot.
35:19A little.
35:21A little.
35:31From the left foot.
35:39One, two, three.
35:41Put it in.
35:43One, two, three.
35:45One, two, three.
35:47I made a mistake.
35:49Let's do two at a time.
35:51One, two, three.
35:53It's not going at all.
35:55One, two, three.
35:57Let's do the last one.
36:09It was a good picture.
36:15Have a good time.
36:17Very, very.
36:27The third floor is a parking space.
36:31But not a single car has stopped.
36:35In fact, the car lift was built 45 years before the building was opened.
36:41The size of the current car does not match and the lift cannot be used.
36:49Therefore, the entrance to the first floor lift is now a parking lot for motorcycles.
36:55This is the legacy of the Showa period that remains in the retro building.
37:01The third and seventh floors are residential spaces.
37:0999 out of 119 are 1K windows.
37:14At the time of the opening of the building, there were too many children because of the baby boom.
37:23Therefore, many 1K windows were built not for the family, but for single-person use.
37:29Now I feel the era of the Showa period.
37:43It's getting late, so let's have a drink at the end.
37:47It's getting late, so let's have a drink at the end.
37:52It's almost time.
37:54I don't know if it's open or not this morning.
37:58If it's open, it's already open.
38:01If it's not open, it's over.
38:07It's completely open.
38:10It's amazing.
38:12It's different from the daytime.
38:17Excuse me.
38:19I'm talking to you on a program called BS Fuji.
38:24Excuse me.
38:25Can I talk to you for a moment?
38:27When I came here in the daytime, I was wondering if the store was open.
38:31When the light turns on at night...
38:34It's an ideal izakaya.
38:40Thank you very much.
38:42Is this the same store?
38:45Yes.
38:46It will be 30 years old next year.
38:50What did you do before that?
38:53Before that, I was the manager of an izakaya chain store.
39:00I was also the head of the headquarters.
39:02I wanted to be independent soon, so I got permission.
39:06I looked for a store and got on board.
39:10Where did you go?
39:11It's been 10 years.
39:12I wanted to open my own izakaya soon.
39:15I opened my own izakaya.
39:17It's called Yajirobe now.
39:19It's been 30 years since it became Yajirobe.
39:22It's been 20 years since it became Yajirobe.
39:28Do you have any recommendations?
39:30I put a lot of effort into Japanese sake.
39:34Do you have any snacks?
39:36How about yakitori?
39:39How many do you recommend?
39:45Yajirobe, a creative izakaya on the first floor of the building.
39:52The store's pride is the sake selected by the owner.
39:56KUSHI-YAKI
40:01Kushi-yaki is a popular dish in Yajirobe,
40:06which Mr. Iwasaki carefully bakes one by one.
40:12Everyone is working together.
40:16Could you leave it here?
40:19I'll bring the dishes.
40:27KUSHI-YAKI
40:32It's well-baked.
40:35It's a little burnt.
40:37That's right.
40:39It's ready.
40:41It looks delicious.
40:43It's amazing.
40:45KUSHI-YAKI
40:54It's very salty.
40:58This is the taste of the chain store, isn't it?
41:05That's right.
41:07You've changed a lot.
41:09When I worked at a chain store, I was a waiter.
41:12I was in charge of pork, but I didn't work as a waiter.
41:16I thought I should change that, so I became a waiter.
41:20I see. How was it?
41:23Was it hard?
41:25It was hard.
41:28It was harder when I started the store.
41:34Before he changed his name to Yajirobe,
41:37he had a hard time when he opened the franchise here.
41:47I was deceived by a real estate agent.
41:50What?
41:52I was deceived by a real estate agent.
41:55I didn't know this was a neighborhood property, so I borrowed it.
42:08KUSHI-YAKI
42:11KUSHI-YAKI
42:34I was told to leave within three months.
42:37I didn't leave.
42:39I don't have a good personality.
42:44When I was told to leave, I said no.
43:10KUSHI-YAKI
43:13KUSHI-YAKI
43:16KUSHI-YAKI
43:39What do you think of Yajirobe?
43:42What do you think of Yajirobe?
43:44I think Yajirobe will never collapse.
43:48I see.
44:12KUSHI-YAKI
44:18He's very persistent.
44:21But he won't give up what he built.
44:26He won't give up what he built.
44:29This is the first time I've heard of a man who fought like this.
44:34Even if you fight, you can't beat God.
44:39Mr. Yajirobe.
44:41Please enjoy the food.
44:49The next episode is a tour of the NUBER KOSHIENGUCHI building.
44:54It's amazing.
44:56Stairs, stairs, stairs.
44:59I was told to do a snack.
45:02Snacks and oden.
45:05The parents and children are excited.
45:09They are excited about the master and the regular.
45:18It's a miracle shrimp.
45:24It's full of meat.
45:27It's delicious.
45:29The next day.
45:32All the people I met today were very kind.
