00:00Teleto!
00:30and enjoy the traditional fishing method, Ukai.
00:33It's been around 400 years in the north,
00:36and is in full swing in the summer.
00:39There's a statue of a kappa, right?
00:43I feel like I've seen a kappa.
00:48Oh, really?
00:51Have you seen one?
00:52Kappas came from China to Kyushu, right?
00:56Oh, really?
00:57Makoto Ayukawa told me.
00:59He did?
01:01He said he came here on a ship.
01:04He came here on a ship?
01:06I thought he was going to talk to me for about five hours.
01:11The museum is visited by fans of Attack on Titan from all over the world,
01:16so let's take a closer look at the original manga.
01:20What is the legendary pose of the main character, Eren?
01:28Next time, we'll take a look at Sangenjaya Taishidō.
01:31And on the 22nd, we'll take a look at the 30th anniversary special.
01:38The author of Attack on Titan,
01:41Hajime Isayama's hometown, Oyamamachi.
01:44Four years ago, the fan-anticipated spot was born.
01:499th place, Attack on Titan in Hita Museum.
01:55Among the many places in the city,
01:57this is the most popular spot for Attack on Titan fans.
02:04To see Isayama's exhibition,
02:08fans from all over the world come to the mountains of Oita.
02:15Isayama designed the statue standing on the Oyama Dam,
02:20but the statue has been destroyed.
02:24One reason is that it wasn't supposed to be like this,
02:29and the other reason is that it wasn't used because of budget and structure.
02:36And in this corner,
02:39they display the precious original manga.
02:43We can feel the spirit of Isayama,
02:46who was the first legend of Attack on Titan.
02:50According to the teacher,
02:52I drew it with this kind of feeling.
02:55Apparently, he was influenced by Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
02:59I didn't know that, so I'm glad I came here.
03:02When did you read the next one?
03:03Nausicaä.
03:07It seems that Isayama has been attracted to great power since he was a child.
03:13That's amazing.
03:16Hitani, which has been developed by the grace of rich water,
03:21has a lot of Saka-gura and Shoyu-gura.
03:27Marumata Shoyu, which was founded in Bakumatsu, is one of them.
03:32It is a rare temple that uses water collected from 40 meters underground
03:37to make a construction and mature the raw material.
03:46The finished Shoyu has a local flavor that can only be found in Hitashinai.
03:56No. 8 Jyozo-sho
04:00Maruhara, which was founded in 1832,
04:04is also one of the Shoyu-gura representing this town.
04:08It is well-known for its popular udon restaurants in Fukuoka.
04:13Let's ask him about the characteristics of the water.
04:17It's called Jyakunansui.
04:19Jyakunansui is very good for food.
04:22The raw material and water are very important.
04:24If the water is not good, you can't make good Shoyu.
04:29Ramune, which was made by a Shoyu maker using such good water, is very popular.
04:35It also collaborates with Attack on Titan.
04:40If you turn the label upside down and turn on the light, a super-sized titan appears.
04:47Let's drink it up and exterminate it.
04:53Hirose Tanso, a scholar of the Edo period, is the first person of Hita.
04:58He opened Shijuku, which was the largest in Japan at that time.
05:03This is the site.
05:06This is the site of the 7th Kangi-en.
05:10Kangi means good.
05:15There were 5,000 students who accepted it, regardless of age or status.
05:20It was a special case at that time.
05:24Choei Takano, who advocated the opening of the school, is also said to be a student.
05:32This monthly report was revolutionary in the education of Tanso.
05:38By dividing the class from grade 6 to grade 9, it stimulated the desire to study.
05:45Masujiro Omura, a military official of Meijinshin, advanced to grade 4.
05:53About 80% of the city is Hitawa in the forest.
05:58Forestry business flourished from the Edo period.
06:01Even now, there are many wood markets in the city.
06:05More than 80% of the wood is cedar.
06:09It is a brand that this city is proud of.
06:12No. 6 Hitasugi
06:16Hitasugi is used in many places in the city, such as in the school of Hita Station.
06:23Hita Geta, a special product of the city, has been made more than 180 years ago.
06:30It is one of the three largest geta in Japan.
06:34I see.
06:36There are still many new makers.
06:41Urazuka Workshop, which has been in operation for 76 years, is one of them.
06:47He is in charge of the process of shaping the geta.
06:52At present, it is popular that the bottom is flat and it is difficult to make a sound.
06:59After making a hole through the nose, go to the next workshop.
07:04It is a unique process called Jindaiya-kishiage, which bakes the surface of the geta.
07:11It brings out the unevenness and beauty of the grain.
07:16The geta using Hitasugi is light and soft, so it is comfortable to wear and is hard to get tired of.
07:23This is good.
07:26In the nursery in Hita,
07:31There are also places where the actors usually wear geta.
07:37This is a real geta bag.
07:40I see, geta bag.
07:42By grasping the nose firmly with the toes,
07:45Various effects are said to have on the child's growth.
07:51In this way, the children of Hita grow up well.
07:56For example, we give Hita geta to those who celebrate the perfect.
08:00That's good.
08:01Then there is a taste, or a quality.
08:05The elderly will also like it.
08:07That's right.
08:08Even if you look at the eyes of Hitasugi, the quality is good.
08:12Hitasugi is soft and realistic.
08:16Even in geta.
08:17Actually, when I was in the drama,
08:19It was a drama where I wore Hita geta and danced.
08:23That's right.
08:24At first, I said I would dance and took it off.
08:28As I got used to wearing it, it felt good.
08:33So I bought it.
08:34I have Hita geta at home.
08:36Do you still use it?
08:37Yes.
08:39Mameda Town, which used to be the center of Kyushu's economy.
08:45Even now, there are still rampant businesses built in the Edo period.
08:50No. 5, Kusanohonten.
08:54It was founded in 1641 as a result of the manufacture of Kiro, a candle material.
09:02Omoya, which has a history of more than 300 years,
09:05It is designated as an important cultural property of the country.
09:11I can't visit it usually, but I visit it four times a year according to the city's events.
09:18Currently, you can see the Hina decoration that reaches the ceiling.
09:24Is this Hina?
09:26The gorgeous Goten-bina, which is one set of 42 pieces,
09:30Kyohobina, which is 300 years old,
09:33You can see the reflection of that time.
09:37How did you start decorating Hina dolls?
09:43The young man in Mameda Town wanted to make a town.
09:48At that time, my mother-in-law had a lot of dolls.
09:53So I decided to make a Hina doll.
09:59I think it was the spring of Showa 59.
10:04On that occasion, tourists flocked to Mameda Town.
10:09Hina dolls were also released in neighboring stores.
10:14This year, from mid-February to the end of March,
10:18Tenryo Hita Ohina Matsuri is being held.
10:24And Hita Shoyu, which was founded in 1843,
10:28In the back of the Shoyu market,
10:30In Josetsu, the largest Hina doll museum in Japan is open.
10:37The sight of more than 4,000 Hina dolls collected from all over the country is overwhelming.
10:45From the Edo period to the present,
10:47You can see the changes in faces and costumes in close up.
10:55This shop in Mameda Town.
11:00It is treated as a vessel that the common people use on a daily basis.
11:05It has been made in Hita for more than 300 years.
11:09It is called the world's best folk art.
11:13It is characterized by a pattern called Tobikanna and Hakeme.
11:24Ontayaki is made in a small village deep in the mountains.
11:29Nine of the thirteen prefectures are in the Sarayama district called Kamamoto.
11:35British ceramicist Bernard Leach, who was involved in the humanitarian movement in Japan,
11:42He was attracted to Ontayaki as he stayed in this village for three weeks.
11:49Each Kamamoto has a mechanism called Karausu that uses the water of the river.
11:57The soil used for pottery is finely crushed with the power of water.
12:05This sound has not changed for 300 years.
12:08It was chosen as one of the 100 Japanese sounds that I want to leave.
12:21All of the nine prefectures in Kamamoto are united.
12:26They have inherited the art that has been going on for about 300 years.
12:33One of them is the Kerirokuro, which is kicked and turned by foot.
12:38Only the sense of craftsmanship is reliable.
12:46One of the patterns of Ontayaki, Tobikanna,
12:49While turning the skull, the metal blade is made in a vessel.
12:55The pattern is so small that you can't see it if you don't see it in slow motion.
13:01The same pattern is a craftsmanship that can never be done again.
13:08The work of Yaki is about four times a year.
13:12What is used is a climbing hill on the stairs.
13:16Four of the nine prefectures in Kamamoto have their own kilns.
13:21There are thousands of vessels that are baked at once.
13:26It takes two whole days for the fire to go out.
13:30It's a family work.
13:38This is amazing.
13:40The baked Ontayaki has a simple design and charm.
13:45In order to create a variety of dishes, it is also popular as a select shop in Tokyo.
13:51It is also used in a restaurant with a star in Tokyo.
13:55People in Oita prefecture like their own tea bowls and plates.
14:00So I thought it was natural.
14:03And when I came to Tokyo and went to a high-end restaurant where I worked part-time,
14:08I saw a big plate like this.
14:11I thought it was a plate of Ontayaki.
14:14I washed it with a dishwasher.
14:17I asked how much it was.
14:20It was 40 yen.
14:23We use it without knowing that it is such a great thing.
14:28But that is the original shape of the pottery.
14:32We use it as if it were natural.
14:35It is a pottery called YONOBI.
14:38It is a pottery called YONOBI.
14:41It is a pottery called YONOBI.
14:44It is a pottery called YONOBI.
14:47Is that so?
14:49I went to Mr. Sakamoto's house.
14:53I bought a lot of pottery there.
14:56I bought it secretly.
14:59I was told that I didn't need it because I bought too much.
15:02I thought I would buy it now.
15:05You haven't bought it together.
15:07I have been seen.
15:09Finally, the best 3.
15:11But before that.
15:13Oita's first hundred.
15:29Oita's first hundred.
15:31It is the first hundred with the most number of white stones.
15:34Oita's first hundred.
15:36There is a number of white stones.
15:45This is amazing.
15:47He is very excited about the first hundred.
15:50He is very excited about the first hundred.
15:53This is great.
15:55Oh,
16:11I love that.
16:25That's all for Oita's 100 things to know about Hita.
16:32My mother was from Kyoto.
16:35So, if I was going somewhere, I would wear a kimono and put on a geta.
16:43I think that's about it for Hita.
16:47It suits you.
16:48You don't feel uncomfortable.
16:50I don't feel uncomfortable.
16:53Takahashi-san, what did you think of the 100 things?
16:55Well, I was happy to see a lot of Rivai.
16:58That's not all.
17:02The history of the festival is 300 years old.
17:05It is held every year in July.
17:11The 3rd Hita Gion Festival
17:15Yamaboko, a gorgeous and splendid city, is in full swing.
17:19It is also registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
17:25The white decoration on the side of Yamaboko is called Paipai.
17:30When the festival is over, it is displayed at the entrance of the house or shop as a disaster prevention.
17:37What is the origin of the name Paipai?
17:40When I think of Paipai, I think of a pie with boobs.
17:46I think breast milk is the most important.
17:51In a serious sense?
17:52Yes.
17:53Don't look at my face and say that.
17:57That's not good.
18:01Please stop.
18:04I'll get on it.
18:06Unfortunately, we couldn't find out the real origin.
18:13Hita is a hot spring town with a lot of specialties such as Lip and Yufuin.
18:20There are a lot of good hotels.
18:23The next day.
18:29There is a hot spring town with a history of more than 1,300 years about 20 minutes by car from Mameda Town.
18:37The second place is Amagase Onsen.
18:41It is a famous hot spring town with Lip and Yufuin.
18:47Kawayu is a symbol of Kusugawa.
18:51Kawayu is a joint hot spring bath for the locals.
18:57The red pot costs 100 yen and the citizens enjoy the coolness.
19:02If you take a bath like this, you won't feel like you're in a hot spring bath.
19:06That's right.
19:08Another symbol, the red suspension bridge, is the hot spring inn Seitenkaku, which has been open for 83 years.
19:18I took a three-month break from the coronavirus.
19:22I opened the inn and took a break for two years.
19:27I think I was able to reopen it in 4 years.
19:31It was hard.
19:33The river was cut off by a flood five years ago.
19:37The hot spring town was severely damaged.
19:41Five years later, the town is gradually regaining its vigor.
19:47Seitenkaku also reduced the number of rooms from 45 to 23.
19:53However, it created a relaxing space.
19:58This room is wonderful.
20:01After the flood, the bath, which had been out of service for a while, is now back.
20:06The open-air bath has also been rebuilt.
20:10The hot water with the scent of sulfur is expected to have a good skin effect.
20:16After the bath, the fourth generation uses a lot of local ingredients to make creative dishes.
20:24All of them are exquisite, including Bun-Go-Gyu and Hou-Ba-Yaki.
20:32You did a great job.
20:34I think it's not all done yet.
20:38You're really smart.
20:41You did a great job.
20:43The hot spring town is a wonderful hot spring town in the mountains.
20:48I felt like I wanted to leave it there.
20:51I was happy to feel the spirit of laughing.
20:55Next Episode Preview
21:11The most popular place in Oita is...
21:16Mameda Town, a preserved area of the country's important traditional architecture, is the largest tourist spot in Oita.
21:26No. 1 Kyushu's Shokyo-Ton
21:31Iwao-Yakko, which was founded at the end of the Edo period, is a registered cultural property of the country.
21:42It is now a drug store, but it used to be a Japanese medicine store that was famous for its unique scent.
21:53It is said to be an all-purpose drug that works on all symptoms.
21:57It was also sold in Hawaii and Brazil.
21:59It was a big hit product born in Oita.
22:05Wakanoya, which was founded in the third year of the Meiji period, is a hotel with a small number in Mameda Town.
22:13On the first floor is a house with a garden.
22:17There was also a fortune teller, such as Yasunari Kawabata.
22:23It is said to be the third floor of a wooden building, which is rare in the country.
22:28From the room on the third floor of the top floor, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mameda Town.
22:39At dinner, you can eat seasonal food from the north.
22:43Mameda Town is full of history and Japanese hospitality.
22:48It is still full of charm.
22:53My hometown has become new, so I feel sad.
22:58I think it's great that you leave that feeling.
23:01It's not a long distance to walk around there.
23:05If you walk for 30 minutes, you can go around.
23:07Is that so?
23:0930 minutes is not a break.
23:12If you take a break, it will take about two months.
23:19Next time, Sangenja, Taishido, and...
23:24March 22 is the 30th anniversary special.
