00:00We will show you the satellite images.
00:06This is a house in the mountains.
00:11What kind of person lives here?
00:17The satellite image is very thin.
00:21The left side is a cliff.
00:23Why is it here?
00:26Here?
00:27It's very well maintained.
00:29Doesn't it look like a castle gate?
00:32There are a lot of dishes on the table.
00:36It's a feast.
00:38I want you to hang it with straw.
00:40There is a hole in the middle.
00:42It's true.
00:44It's sweet.
00:45It's delicious.
00:48We will aim for a mysterious house found in the satellite images.
00:54The great creation of Japan.
00:59Potunto house.
01:05You two are not interested in living in the countryside, are you?
01:09No, no.
01:11Is there such a thing?
01:13My daughter is about to start working.
01:17She will live alone this year.
01:20Is that so?
01:21Yes, she is 24 years old.
01:23Is that so?
01:25She doesn't look like a mother with 24 children.
01:27But when she becomes a mother of two,
01:32She wants to live in a place where time flows slowly.
01:35Yes.
01:36I think it's time to imagine that.
01:39I'm from Tokyo, Edogawa.
01:41I grew up in an area with a lot of fields.
01:45My grandmother grew vegetables in the backyard.
01:48I admire that.
01:50This morning, I painted the kitchen rack with iron paint on the veranda.
01:56I made it look like iron.
01:59Do you do that?
02:00Yes, I do.
02:01You like DIY, don't you?
02:03Actually, I want to live in a place that is a little more open than the city.
02:07I want to make various things in the garden.
02:10I see.
02:11This is the POTSUNZU IKEA.
02:14This is Kumamoto.
02:16It's a city in the east.
02:18It's a sweet grass town.
02:20This is a very unusual architecture.
02:22It's in the forest.
02:24It's quite spacious.
02:26The buildings are densely populated.
02:28I don't know if it's a three-story or a four-story building.
02:32Is it a wooden house?
02:34It's beautiful.
02:36It's a fruit shop.
02:38That's right.
02:40Let's decide on a fruit.
02:42How about DECO PON?
02:44How about PONKAN?
02:46PONKAN is famous in Kumamoto.
02:48What should I choose?
02:50I'll go with BANPEI.
02:52It's a big one.
02:54I used to be in trouble when I got three of them.
02:57But if you put it at the door, it's good luck.
03:00It means that the right side is big.
03:04It's good to put it in front of you when you're doing business.
03:08We found it in a satellite photo.
03:10We're going to look for it in Kumamoto.
03:14We start searching from the neighboring village.
03:17It's in the middle of the mountain.
03:19It's close.
03:21That's right.
03:24It was far.
03:26It was far.
03:28It's three and a half hours from the airport to here.
03:31I didn't expect it to take this long to get to Kumamoto.
03:37We should be able to see the neighboring village in a while.
03:42If you go down this mountain, you'll see it.
03:46I saw it.
03:48It's amazing.
03:50It's a great view.
03:52That's right.
03:54It's a port town.
03:56It's a fishing town.
03:58Let's go to the port.
04:03The port is close.
04:05I think there will be people in the morning.
04:07I found it.
04:08It's on the left.
04:12Let's ask.
04:14Hello.
04:15Is he a local?
04:18He left.
04:21He won't stop.
04:23Hello.
04:24Excuse me.
04:26We're on a TV show called Potsun to Ikkenya.
04:30Can I ask you for directions?
04:33I don't know.
04:35I'm sorry.
04:36I'd like you to look at this.
04:38I think he's at the end of this road.
04:43He's aiming for the place with the mark.
04:47There's a shop called Potsun here.
04:49Do you know him?
04:52Isn't he Mr. Sasahara?
04:54Mr. Sasahara?
04:55His name is Mr. Sasahara.
04:57He's over there.
05:00There's a mountain over there.
05:02Is he over there?
05:03Yes.
05:04Sometimes, I go to the mountains.
05:08Is he Mr. Sasahara?
05:10I think he's Mr. Sasahara.
05:13I'm not sure.
05:15How old is he?
05:20He's the same age as me.
05:24I'm 70 years old.
05:27He's 73 or 74 years old.
05:31I think he's around that age.
05:33I think he's here alone.
05:36Alone in such a big place?
05:38He's alone, right?
05:39By the way, the photo with the mark is like this.
05:47I think so.
05:48Is he a farmer?
05:49I think he's a farmer.
05:51I'm not sure if he's a mandarin or not.
05:53Mandarin?
05:54Is he a mandarin?
05:55Mandarin?
05:56I don't know until I go there.
05:58I think so.
05:59I think his father is a mandarin.
06:01The owner of the shop is Mr. Sasahara, who is 73 or 74 years old.
06:08I think he's a farmer by himself.
06:14By himself?
06:16Here.
06:18If you go straight, there's a traffic light.
06:22Turn right here.
06:24What's here?
06:25There's a post office.
06:27Turn right at the post office.
06:30Turn right at the post office.
06:31Go along the road.
06:33How many are there?
06:35There's a curve.
06:37Go up to the left in the first, second, and third places.
06:41There are three crossroads.
06:44There are two Oji statues.
06:48It's difficult.
06:50The third crossroad is the Oji statue.
06:55Go to the right.
06:56There's an Oji statue on the right.
06:58Go along the curve.
06:59There may be a small signboard of Sasahara on the way.
07:05Is it a signboard in the mountains?
07:07It's not a signboard, but a guide.
07:09I see.
07:11I'll go there.
07:13There are two Oji statues.
07:15There are two Oji statues.
07:17It's like an old story.
07:18It's like a story in a novel.
07:20Sasahara.
07:22He may live alone, but he's a farmer.
07:28It's strange to see a farmer in the mountains.
07:34First, turn right at the post office.
07:38Go to the left in the third place.
07:41There is an Oji statue on the curve.
07:45First, go to the Oji statue.
07:50Is there a post office?
07:56There is a post office.
07:58It's like a post office in the city.
08:00Go to the right.
08:03Go straight.
08:07Is this the way to the mountains?
08:10It's a narrow road.
08:12Is this the way to the mountains?
08:15Is it really?
08:18It's a strange road.
08:21It's a narrow road.
08:23It's like a road.
08:26Go along the road for a while.
08:31There are three crossroads.
08:35It's dangerous to overlook.
08:38There are two Oji statues.
08:41That's right.
08:44There are no crossroads.
08:47There are no crossroads.
08:50It's a mountain from here.
08:52The scenery has completely changed.
08:55It hasn't come out yet.
08:58Oji statue.
09:00Is this the first place?
09:03Go to the left.
09:05This is the first place.
09:08I think so.
09:10This is the first place.
09:14That is the second place.
09:17This is the second place.
09:19This is easy to understand.
09:22That is...
09:25That is Mr. Oji on the right.
09:29That is Mr. Oji on the right.
09:31That is...
09:34There is a crossroad here.
09:38Isn't this it?
09:40There is another Mr. Oji.
09:44There is a signboard.
09:47Isn't this Sasahara?
09:51I found this well.
09:53I'm getting used to it.
09:55I don't know if it's a number or a symbol.
09:5917.
10:01This is it.
10:03Do you go this way?
10:05It's narrow.
10:07Mr. Oji said this.
10:10If it wasn't for that signboard, I'd be worried.
10:17A car passes by.
10:20Mr. Sasahara runs on a narrow mountain road.
10:24I can't see it.
10:26I can't see it.
10:29He is only 70 years old.
10:32Mr. Sasahara makes oranges in the mountains.
10:36What kind of person is he?
10:39It's all mountains.
10:41I can't see it at all.
10:44It's a great road.
10:46I'm scared.
10:48I'm scared.
10:50It's a cliff.
10:52I'm scared.
10:54I can't believe I'm living here.
10:57I don't think there is a house here.
11:00I'm scared.
11:02I'm scared.
11:04I'm scared.
11:06I'm scared at night.
11:08I'm scared at night.
11:10I'm scared.
11:12I'm scared.
11:14I'm scared.
11:16He's not coming.
11:18He got out of the car.
11:21I'm tired.
11:23There is a car behind.
11:25A car comes from behind.
11:27Is he Mr. Sasahara?
11:30Isn't he the owner of this house?
11:33Is he the owner of this house?
11:35He's not here.
11:37His name is different.
11:39What is he?
11:41I'm worried, so I'll follow you.
11:43He is Mr. Machida.
11:45I thought he was Mr. Sasahara.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:50I thought he was Mr. Machida.
11:53I was worried, so I followed him.
11:55He is very kind.
11:58I'm sorry.
12:00If you show me the way,
12:02I'll be relieved of my worries.
12:04That's right.
12:06It's going deeper.
12:08It's still going up.
12:11How far is it going?
12:13It's going up a lot.
12:15Yes.
12:17I think it's pretty high.
12:20It's getting brighter.
12:23What's that?
12:25It's a beautifully pruned plant.
12:29It's stopped.
12:31It's beautiful.
12:33It's a beautiful persimmon tree.
12:35There is a roof on the right.
12:37It's Mr. Machida.
12:39Is it here?
12:41Mr. Machida went down first.
12:44It's dangerous.
12:46It's well-maintained.
12:48Let's go.
12:50Did he do it himself?
12:52It's beautiful.
12:56I think he did it himself.
12:58There was a house in the back.
13:00It's beautiful.
13:02It's here.
13:04There is a gap for one person.
13:06I'm sure it's here.
13:10There is something on the roof.
13:14I think this is it.
13:16What is it?
13:18There are three buildings.
13:22There is a tangerine field in the back.
13:26It's here.
13:28Is this a tangerine?
13:30It's in a great place.
13:32It's a mountain.
13:34It's a mountain.
13:42Finally, we arrived at the first storehouse in Kumamoto Prefecture, which we found in the satellite photo.
13:51A green carpet waves far away.
13:55There are many tangerine trees on the old road near One.
14:00There are three buildings lined up along the beautifully selected pond.
14:10Even if you compare it with the satellite photo,
14:13the arrangement of the buildings and the shape of the tangerine field gathered in the corner of the site are all the same.
14:21There is no doubt here.
14:25I'm sorry.
14:27I just read it.
14:29I think there was another passenger car in the bath.
14:33I think he went shopping.
14:35He seems to be absent now.
14:37But there is no doubt.
14:39I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
14:41I'll wait here for a while.
14:43Thank you very much.
14:45We say goodbye to Machida-san, who was worried and followed us.
14:53Thank you very much.
14:55I'm afraid to go home.
14:57Maybe he's coming from the other side.
14:59I'm sure he's going out.
15:01Let's wait here for a while.
15:03This pond is really amazing.
15:07It's so beautifully selected.
15:10Doesn't it feel like a castle gate?
15:12That's right.
15:14Mr. Sasahara, are you doing it yourself?
15:16It's hard.
15:18Huh?
15:23Oh, my God.
15:27Hello.
15:29Hello.
15:31I heard you on the way.
15:33I heard this feeling.
15:35Are you Mr. Sasahara?
15:37I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
15:39I'm here on a TV show called Potsunto Ikkenya.
15:45I heard that the otaku you were aiming for this time was Mr. Sasahara.
15:53That's right.
15:55The people in the village below told me that I would come to Potsunto Ikkenya.
16:01Is that so?
16:03The people in the village below told me that I would come to Potsunto Ikkenya.
16:11Mr. Sasahara, the owner of Potsunto Ikkenya, is 80 years old.
16:18Mr. Sasahara, what is this green thing called?
16:22Yes.
16:23What did you make this for?
16:25This is a Bofurin.
16:27Bofurin.
16:29Is this a Bofurin?
16:31If you have a Bofurin, you can prevent the wind from blowing in the north.
16:35But it's really cool.
16:37I made it.
16:39Did you make it yourself?
16:41Yes, I made it myself.
16:43That's why it's so beautiful.
16:45I was really surprised when I came here.
16:47Everyone told me that.
16:49There are two sides.
16:51That's amazing.
16:53And it looks like an entrance here.
16:57Why does this look like an entrance?
16:59Because there is a grave there.
17:01Is there a grave there?
17:03Yes, there is a grave there.
17:05That's true.
17:07It's a big grave.
17:09I see.
17:11I made this about 51 years ago.
17:13It's been about 50 years, right?
17:15That's right.
17:17There was a grave up there.
17:19I put it down here.
17:21No matter how clumsy you are, you can walk to the south and north.
17:27I made it so that anyone can walk around easily.
17:29I made it with that in mind.
17:33What about this house?
17:35I made it by myself.
17:37I see.
17:39It's been 20 years since my wife passed away.
17:41It's been 20 years since your wife passed away.
17:45Is this a house with only one room?
17:49There used to be three or four rooms.
17:53I see.
17:55There used to be three or four rooms.
17:57When we were kids, there was only one room here.
17:59So it's been more than 80 years since your wife passed away.
18:03That's right.
18:05I had to walk 4km to get to school from here.
18:09I had to walk 4km to get to school from here.
18:11You had to walk 4km to get to school from here.
18:13You had to walk 4km to get to school from here.
18:15Did you walk from here to school?
18:17Yes, I did.
18:19How many mountains are there?
18:21There were seven brothers.
18:23I was the oldest among them.
18:25I was the oldest among them.
18:27You were the eldest?
18:29I was the eldest.
18:31He's a cheerful person.
18:33It must have taken a long time to walk 4km.
18:37It took me an hour.
18:39There was no road for cars.
18:41So this is not a road for cars.
18:45This was the road.
18:47What?
18:49This was the road.
18:51I'm going to the right from here.
18:53There's a road for animals.
18:55There's a road for animals.
18:57Did you go to school through this road?
18:59Did you go to school through this road?
19:01There was a river on the way.
19:03When it rained, I had to use my knees.
19:05When it rained, I had to use my knees.
19:07I had to cross the river.
19:09I had to cross the river.
19:11Did you cross the river?
19:13I walked and crossed the river.
19:15That's amazing.
19:17There was no bridge?
19:19There was no bridge.
19:21There was no bridge.
19:23Why is there a Sasahara house here?
19:25Why is there a Sasahara house here?
19:27There was a road on the way up here.
19:29There was a road on the way up here.
19:31There was a road on the way up here.
19:33Maybe there was a big rock on both sides.

21:45Yes, I did.
21:46What did you do in a big city?
21:48I worked as a carpenter.

22:04I worked as a steam engineer.
22:06You worked as a steam engineer?
22:08Yes, I did.
22:09When I got into the tunnel,
22:11I could smell the smoke.
22:14How far did you go from Minamata to Tokyo by steam engine?
22:19I think it was around Kumamoto.
22:21You went back to Kumamoto.
22:23Yes, I did.
22:24Then I went back to work as a steam engine.
22:27Did you go straight to Tokyo?
22:30Yes, I did.
22:31It took me 24 hours to get to Tokyo.
22:35It's tough to work 24 hours a day.
22:39That's true.
22:41How long did you work in a big city?
22:45I worked there for about 10 years.
22:48What did you do after that?
22:50I worked at a soy sauce store.
22:51A soy sauce store?
22:52Yes.
22:53A soy sauce store?
22:54I was a salesman.
22:57You were a salesman?
22:58Yes.
22:59How long did you work there?
23:02I think I worked there for 51 years.
23:04So you worked there when you were 30 years old.
23:07Yes, I did.
23:08You worked at a soy sauce store all the time?
23:10Yes, I did.
23:14Mr. Hiroshi worked at a local soy sauce company until he was 60 years old.
23:19He retired 20 years ago.
23:24He has been taking care of the orange orchard inherited from his parents.
23:31There is a field on a steep slope.
23:35How big is the field?
23:37It's about three tiers.
23:40Three tiers?
23:41It's 30R.
23:4230R?
23:43Yes.
23:44It's 30R.
23:47Wow.
23:50Is it okay?
23:51Doesn't it slip?
23:54No, it doesn't.
23:56It doesn't slip.
23:58This is a steel pipe.
24:00A steel pipe?
24:01I don't do anything with steel pipes.
24:03If I do, the pipe will be broken.
24:07It's big.
24:08It doesn't slip?
24:09No, it doesn't.
24:10Why don't you do that?
24:12I should do it, but it's a hassle.
24:17It's a hassle.
24:18It's hard to find a place like this.
24:20If I do something with steel pipes, it will be bigger.
24:23Doesn't the sweetness of the steel pipe change?
24:27The sweetness doesn't change.
24:29I see.
24:30Is it okay to rip it off?
24:33If it's broken, it's already bad.
24:36The skin is very thick.
24:38The skin is thick.
24:39I'm handling the steel pipe.
24:42Did you start using steel pipes at this time?
24:44Yes, I started using them.
24:46I've been using them for about half a year.
24:49You've been using them for about half a year?
24:51Yes.
24:52When will you harvest them?
24:55I usually harvest them around March.
24:57So, it's still a long way to go.
24:59Yes, it's still a long way to go.
25:01It's thick like this.
25:03It's amazing.
25:04It's slightly peeled, but it's very hard.
25:07Please try it.
25:09Is it okay?
25:10Yes.
25:15How is it?
25:16It doesn't taste sour.
25:18It looks delicious.
25:21Please try it.
25:23Itadakimasu.
25:25It doesn't taste sour, does it?
25:27It's sweeter.
25:29It's sweet enough.
25:31Is it sweeter?
25:32It's sweeter.
25:33It's delicious.
25:34It's very juicy.
25:35It's juicy.
25:36It doesn't taste sour.
25:39It doesn't taste sour.
25:41It's sweet and refreshing.
25:42Steel pipes are delicious.
25:44It's good when my throat is dry.
25:47It's good.
25:49How many steel pipes do you have?
25:52I have about 20.
25:53About 20?
25:54Yes.
25:55How do you harvest them?
25:58I don't give them to my brothers or relatives.
26:01You don't ship them?
26:03I don't ship them.
26:05Is that so?
26:06If you ship them, they will deteriorate.
26:09If the quality is not good, you can't ship them.
26:12You don't have time to do that.
26:16Why do you keep doing this?
26:18I didn't do it because my ancestors passed it down to me.
26:22You have to keep doing it because your ancestors passed it down to you.
26:30That's a Japanese orange.
26:32Japanese orange?
26:33Yes.
26:34This is a kimpo tree.
26:37Kimpo?
26:38There are many kinds of kimpo.
26:40There are many kinds of kimpo.
26:42There is something on the left side.
26:45That's a decopon.
26:47That's a decopon.
26:48That's right.
26:49That's a decopon.
26:51There are many kinds of decopon.
26:53Are you going to harvest the decopon?
26:57No, I'm going to use it as a nut.
27:00Are you going to use it as a nut this year?
27:03Yes.
27:08That's amazing.
27:09The load is coming out from where you put it.
27:12The amount of decopon is smaller than that of bankan.
27:17That's right.
27:18The pointy part is famous.
27:22That's the characteristic of decopon.
27:24What?
27:26I can't eat half of it.
27:27He'll let me taste the decopon.
27:30Is this okay?
27:31Try it.
27:33I'll try it.
27:38It's sweet.
27:39This one is a little sour.
27:42The meat is very crispy.
27:45It's so simple, but the texture and taste are so different.
27:50There's more on the top.
27:55This one is also tall.
27:58That's a ponkan.
27:59Ponkan.
28:00I got a ponkan.
28:01It's coming out.
28:02It's time for Banpeiyu.
28:04Banpeiyu.
28:05Is Banpeiyu coming?
28:08This one is a little small.
28:12The white skin is thin.
28:14It's thin.
28:17Is it okay?
28:18I'll eat it all.
28:20You can eat various kinds.
28:21I'll eat it.
28:26It must be delicious.
28:28It's sweet.
28:29It's completely different.
28:32Until a while ago, there was a small piece of meat inside.
28:37This is all the same.
28:39That's what it feels like.
28:41Birds also make delicious food like this.
28:49Wait a minute.
28:50You're eating it so beautifully.
28:54It would be nice if you could eat it so beautifully.
28:58I don't like it.
28:59It's amazing.
29:00I also eat dried fish.
29:02Dried fish.
29:03There have been a lot of birds for a while.
29:07I also eat dried fish and lobsters.
29:09Do you eat oranges?
29:10I eat oranges.

29:13It's delicious.
29:14It's amazing.
29:15It's a feast.
29:17But there are so many.
29:19Is Mr. Hiroishi doing it alone?
29:21He's alone.
29:22No one is doing it.
29:24From the shinto shinto, disinfection, and healing, everyone is doing it alone.
29:30Isn't it a place like this?
29:32Don't you fall down while working?
29:34I was carried by an ambulance.
29:37What?
29:38I fell over.
29:40You fell over and were carried by an ambulance?
29:42Yes.
29:43I hit my head.
29:46An ambulance came and carried me to the hospital.
29:53It's not flat.
29:55It's all flat.
29:57I hit my head and fell down leaning against a ladder.
30:03I hit my head and went home.
30:06I was in pain.
30:08I was bleeding.
30:11My daughter came to me and said,
30:13I'm glad there's an ambulance.
30:15I said,
30:16There are many ways to say goodbye to the ambulance.
30:19I got lost and couldn't hear you.
30:22I was lost and couldn't hear you.
30:27He was lost nearby.
30:29I wrote SASAHARA on the signboard.
30:31I see.
30:32You wrote SASAHARA on the signboard.
30:35That's why you wrote SASAHARA on the signboard.
30:37I see.
30:39If you don't do that, the first person won't know.
30:42Is it a number?
30:4417?
30:45I wrote it as 1.7.
30:481.7?
30:50It means 1.7km.
30:52The distance from here to here.
30:541.7km.
30:56You wrote the distance.
30:58That's what it meant.
31:00I wanted to write 9m.
31:02But the signboard said FUZUDAIBA.
31:04I couldn't write it.
31:06You wrote 1.7 because there was no space.
31:09That's what it meant.
31:11I see.
31:12You should have written SATO a little more.
31:14That's right.
31:17Next Episode

32:00It's enough for summer.
32:02Is that a solar panel?
32:04It's a water heater.
32:06You can boil hot water with solar heat.
32:10If there is a bath outside the house,
32:13isn't it very cold when you take a bath at home in winter?
32:18I think so.
32:19Why is that?
32:20I can't help it because the window is hard.
32:23You can't help it.
32:26He gave up.
32:28I feel sorry for the inside.

33:00It's low, isn't it?
33:01The ceiling is low.
33:03Is there a reason for this?
33:05I was surprised.
33:06Houses in the old days were low.
33:08It's amazing.
33:09My height is less than 170 cm.

33:53Wasn't there a kotatsu room?
33:56There was a dojo here.
33:58My father was a fisherman in winter.
34:05There was a dojo from the entrance.
34:08Did you go up from the dojo?
34:10There is a staircase here.
34:14There is a potato field below the kotatsu room.
34:18Potato field?
34:19It's a potato field where you can harvest sweet potatoes.
34:23Is it a storage room in the basement?
34:26That's right.
34:27You said you were raising sweet potatoes.

34:33Then I put them in a storage room.
34:36Do you usually stay here alone?
34:39That's right.
34:40There are a lot of telegrams.
34:42What is this?
34:44This is a telegram from the shrine.
34:46Is this a telegram from the shrine?
34:48This is a telegram from the shrine.
34:49I sent it to my brothers and children.

35:28But I'm glad.
35:31I hope everyone will be happy.
35:34I hope everyone will be happy.
35:36Even if you give it away?

35:47This is my father.
35:48This is my mother.
35:50This is the first person I built a house here.
35:57I wrote the date and year of death.

36:07When did this person die?
36:10My father died on January 25, 1916.
36:14Nobuko died on March 30, 1916.

37:05I was 30 years old.
37:07She was 8 years younger than me.
37:09She was 8 years younger than you.
37:11She was a normal child.
37:13But she was serious about everything.

37:19My mother was hospitalized for two years.

38:11But on the other hand, Hiroshi is with her all day long.
38:15You have taken good care of her.
38:20She couldn't stay at her father's house for another day.
38:25My ancestors gave their lives to build this house for me.
38:34I wish I could live here for another 10 years.
38:39Don't say 10 years old.
38:4120 years old.
38:42I want to be 100 years old.
38:44I hope so.
38:47As you know, I live alone in Patsun.
38:52I live alone in Patsun.
38:54The road in the mountains is full of wild boars.
38:57I can't pass through.
38:59The road is narrow.
39:00It was very narrow.
39:01It was very narrow.
39:03Wild boars pass through alone.

39:11Do you maintain the road by yourself?
39:14Yes, I do.
39:15Do you maintain the road by yourself?

39:251.7 km.
39:27Do you maintain the 1.7 km road by yourself?
39:30Yes, I do.
39:31It's hard work.

39:37That's right.
39:38If Hiroshi is gone, no one will do it.
39:41Thank you very much.

40:09Potsunto Ikkenya on the mountain in Kumamoto Prefecture.
40:13It's the weekend after five days of visiting Sasahara.
40:17I heard that Hiroshi's family usually lives alone.
40:23I also visited the search team.
40:30I didn't expect to pass here again.
40:33The road that Hiroshi maintained.
40:34It's still narrow.
40:35This road is narrow.
40:39A car has stopped.
40:42There is a car.

42:50You put this in a jar and marinate it for about 10 days.
42:55Then you rub it under your hair.
42:58It takes about a month to rub it.
43:02After rubbing it, you add sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and vinegar.
43:09Is this a common dish in Kumamoto?
43:13This is pickled radish.
43:17I'm sorry.

44:15This tastes completely different, doesn't it?
44:16This is delicious.
44:17This has a great texture.
44:19This has a great texture.
44:21I feel like I can eat this as a snack.
44:24This is delicious.
44:26This goes well with white rice, doesn't it?
44:29That's right.
44:33Please eat this pickled radish.
44:35This is pickled radish.
44:36This is homemade pickled radish.
44:38This is it.
44:39I've never eaten such a big pickled radish.
44:42I'll eat this.
44:47This is soft.
44:48This is soft.
44:50This has a great taste.
44:52This is delicious.
44:53I want you to hang this on a straw.
44:57I'll hang this on a straw.
44:58There is a hole in the middle.
45:00That's true.
45:01I'll hang this on a straw.
45:03I'll hang this on a straw until it's half dry.
45:06I'll hang this on a straw until the radish is soft.
45:09Then I'll boil water and put it in a strainer.
45:12It takes a lot of work.
45:15Thank you for the meal.
45:17Thank you for the meal.
45:19This was very delicious.
45:20Hiroya, you usually live here alone, don't you?
45:24That's right.
45:25I heard from your sister and daughter that you live alone.
45:29Are you worried about that?
45:31I have a phone call now.
45:33So I'm worried that I'll get a call.
45:37I'm not worried about that.
45:39I get off the bus every day.
45:41I'm going to get a newspaper.
45:43I haven't delivered a newspaper yet.
45:48You're going to get a newspaper yourself?
45:52That's right.
45:54I'm going to the newspaper store.
45:56You're going to the newspaper store?
45:58That's why I get off the bus every day.
46:01I don't have a lot of newspapers.
46:03If you didn't come to get a newspaper, you'd know something's wrong.
46:08If I didn't go to the newspaper store to get a newspaper, I'd be worried.
46:15I'd be worried.
46:16I don't know where Mr. Sasara is.
46:19I think it's okay to come down.
46:22I grew up here because I love this place.
46:26That's right.
46:27That's why I'm here.
46:29I think it's okay to live in a healthy house.
46:32Even if I live in a dilapidated house, it's good to have a place to live.
46:37Even so, my sister and daughter are close to me, so they help me.
46:42When something happens, I can't do anything alone.
46:47I'm glad you're here.
46:51You feel at ease because the two of you are close.
46:54That's right.
46:57He lives alone on a mountain far away from his hometown.
47:02Even so, his daughter and sister care about him, so he has a strong heart.
47:09The house where his grandfather built, where he was born and raised,
47:13and where his memories with his wife, who died when he was young, dwell.
47:21It's hard to take care of the orange orchard on the old road,
47:27but I'm glad everyone is happy to eat it.
47:32Mr. Hiroshi is determined to protect the house and the orange orchard for a long time.
47:45It was a wonderful story today.
47:48Congratulations to both of you.
47:50Thank you very much.
47:52I didn't just say that.
47:54But he did it all by himself to avoid the north wind.
47:59He did it all by himself.
48:01The reason why he built an orange orchard was to protect his wife's grave.
48:07I felt love at first sight.
48:09I'm sure it's a life-changing experience when you fill up the cardboard boxes.
48:12I'm sure everyone will be happy.
48:14It's like, I'm going to live this year, too.
48:16That's how generations of people get together on New Year's Day.
48:20I can't get enough of that.
48:21I can't get enough of that.
48:23It's nice to have a place like that.
48:25You spend time at home in the city.
48:27Recently, there have been more and more things that I can't go to.
48:31I thought I had to go to a place like that again.
48:33I agree.
