00:00I
00:30Don't you feel like a castle in the back?
00:32Wow, amazing!
00:33There's a lot of food on the table
00:36Wow, it's a feast!
00:38I want you to hang it through the straw
00:41There's a hole in the middle
00:43Oh, it's true!
00:44Oh, it's sweet!
00:48Tonight, we'll be aiming for a mysterious sight found in satellite photos
00:55Japan's Greatest Creation
00:59Potunto Ikkeiya
01:05You two aren't interested in living in the countryside, are you?
01:09No, no, no
01:10That's not true
01:11Oh, is that true?
01:12Well, my daughter is about to start working
01:17She'll probably be living on her own this year
01:20Oh, really?
01:21Yes, she'll be 24
01:23Oh, really?
01:24She doesn't look like a mother with a 24-year-old
01:27But if she does, she'll be living with her husband
01:32So you're hoping that she'll be able to spend more time with her husband
01:35Yes, I'm hoping that she'll be able to spend more time with her husband
01:39I'm from Edogawa, Tokyo
01:41I grew up in an area with a lot of fields
01:44My grandmother used to grow vegetables in the backyard
01:47I admire that
01:50This morning, I used an iron paint on the kitchen rack
01:56to create an iron-like atmosphere
01:59So that's what you do
02:00Yes, I do
02:01I didn't expect you to like DIY
02:03So I'd like to live in a more open area
02:07and make a lot of things in the garden
02:11Here's today's Potunto Ikkeiya
02:15It's Kumamoto
02:16This is what I created
02:18I guess it's a sweet grass garden
02:20This is quite a unique arrangement
02:22It's in the middle of the forest
02:23How is it?
02:24It's quite spacious
02:26The buildings are concentrated here
02:28I'm not sure if it's the 3rd or the 4th house
02:32Is it a wooden house?
02:33Yes, it's a wooden house
02:34It's very clean
02:36It's like a citrus garden
02:38Yes, it is
02:39Let's decide on the fruit
02:42How about Dekopon?
02:43Dekopon
02:44How about you?
02:45How about Hongkan?
02:46Hongkan
02:47It's famous in Kumamoto
02:49How about me?
02:50How about Banpei?
02:52I see
02:53It's a big one
02:54It's a big one
02:55I used to have a hard time getting three of them
02:57But if you put it in front of the entrance, it's good luck
03:01It means that the right side is big
03:05It's good to put it in front in business
03:08They are looking for a house in Kumamoto
03:14They start their search from a nearby village
03:17It's in the middle of the mountain
03:19It's close to the sea
03:21Yes, it is
03:24It's quite far
03:26Yes, it is
03:27It takes 3 and a half hours to get here from the airport
03:31I didn't expect it to take so long to get here from the airport
03:36Yes
03:37We should be able to see the village soon
03:42What if we go down this mountain?
03:45We can see it
03:47It's amazing
03:49It's a great view
03:51Yes, it is
03:53It says Minato-machi
03:55It's a fishing town
03:57I see
03:58Let's go to Minato-machi
04:03Minato-machi is close
04:05I think there are people in the morning
04:07There he is
04:08On the left
04:12Let's ask him
04:14Hello
04:15Is he a local?
04:18He left
04:21He won't stop
04:23Hello
04:24Excuse me
04:26I'm here for a TV show called Potsunto Ikkenya
04:30Can I ask you for directions?
04:33I'm not sure
04:35Excuse me
04:36I'd like you to look at this
04:38I think he's at the edge of the mountain
04:42He's aiming for the place with the mark
04:47He's aiming for the place with the mark
04:49Maybe
04:51Do you know him?
04:52He's Mr. Sasahara
04:54Mr. Sasahara
04:55His name is Sasahara
04:57He's over there
05:00There's a mountain
05:02Is he over there?
05:03Yes
05:04I go to the mountain sometimes
05:08With Mr. Sasahara?
05:10I think it's Mr. Sasahara
05:12I'm not sure
05:14How old is Mr. Sasahara?
05:19He's the same age as me
05:24I'm 70 now
05:27I'm 73 or 74
05:32Do you live here alone?
05:34I think so
05:36Alone in such a big place?
05:38I think so
05:39By the way, the photo with the mark is the house
05:46I think so
05:48Do you grow something?
05:49I think it's agriculture
05:51I'm not sure if it's mandarin or not
05:53Mandarin?
05:56I'm not sure if it's mandarin or not
05:58I think it's mandarin
06:00Mr. Sasahara is 73 or 74 years old
06:07I think he's a mandarin farmer
06:13Alone?
06:15Here
06:17Yes
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 straight
06:33How many?
06:35There's a curve
06:37Go left at the first, second and third place
06:40There are three crossroads
06:43Yes
06:44There's a temple here
06:46Two places
06:48It's difficult
06:50The third place has a statue of Jizo
06:55Yes, on the right
06:57There's a statue of Jizo on the right
06:58There's a statue of Jizo on the right
07:00There might be a signboard of Sasahara
07:04A signboard?
07:06It's like a signboard
07:09I see
07:11I'm going there
07:13It's nice to see a statue of Jizo
07:15There are two statues of Jizo
07:17It's like a fairy tale
07:19Sasahara
07:22He might live alone
07:25But he's a farmer
07:28It's strange to see a farmer in the mountains
07:33Yes
07:34Turn right at the post office
07:38Turn left at the third place
07:41There's a statue of Jizo at the curve
07:45First, let's go to the statue of Jizo
07:48Yes
07:50A post office?
07:52Is there a post office?
07:55There's a post office
07:57There's a sign
07:59It's like a post office in the city
08:01Turn right at the third place
08:04Go straight
08:08Are we going into the mountains from here?
08:11It's like a cut road
08:16Is it?
08:18It's strange
08:21It's like a cut road
08:24It's like a road
08:27Let's go along the road
08:31There are three crossroads
08:34It's not good to overlook
08:38There are two statues of Jizo
08:40We've been there
08:43There are no crossroads
08:47No
08:49It's like a mountain from here
08:52The scenery has changed
08:55We haven't been there yet
08:57Where is the statue of Jizo?
09:00Is this the first place?
09:02We can go to the left
09:05Yes, it's the first place
09:08I think so
09:10Is this the first place?
09:14I think so
09:17Is this the second place?
09:19It's easy to understand
09:21The statue of Jizo is on the right
09:28It's a roof
09:31Is this the place?
09:34No, it's here
09:37Is this the place?
09:39There is another statue of Jizo
09:41There are two statues of Jizo on the left
09:44It's written
09:46It's a sign
09:48It's Sasahara
09:51You found it well
09:53I'm familiar with it
09:55I don't know if it's a number or a symbol
09:59It's 17
10:01It's here
10:03Are we going this way?
10:05It's amazing
10:07I've heard a lot about the statue of Jizo
10:11If it wasn't for that sign, I'd be worried
10:16A car is passing by
10:20It's a narrow mountain road
10:24I can't see at all
10:27I can't see
10:29There is only one person who is over 70
10:32What kind of person is Sasahara?
10:38It's amazing. It's all mountains
10:40I can't see at all
10:42It's a great road
10:45I'm scared
10:46It's a narrow road
10:47I'm scared
10:49It's a cliff
10:51It's dangerous
10:52The driver's seat is cold
10:54I don't think there is a house here
10:57I don't think there is a house here
10:59What's that?
11:01Why are they living here?
11:05It's scary at night
11:07It's impossible at night
11:09A car is passing by
11:11I can't pass by if there is a car
11:13I'm scared of the left
11:15I don't think there is a car
11:17It passed by
11:20I'm tired
11:22There is a car behind
11:25There is a car behind
11:27Is it Sasahara?
11:29Isn't it him?
11:31Isn't it Sasahara?
11:33Isn't it Sasahara?
11:35Isn't it Sasahara?
11:37Isn't it Sasahara?
11:39I'm worried, so I'll follow you
11:43He is kind
11:45I thought it was Sasahara
11:47I'm here
11:49I'm sorry
11:51I was worried about him
11:55He is kind
11:58I'm sorry
12:00If you show me around, I'll be less worried
12:05You are right
12:07It's going further
12:09It's still going up
12:11How far?
12:13It's going up
12:16I think we are at a high place
12:20It's getting brighter
12:23What?
12:25It's a beautifully planted plant
12:29It's stopped
12:31It's beautiful
12:33It's a beautiful persimmon tree
12:35There is a roof on the right
12:37Mr.Machida
12:39Here?
12:41Mr.Machida went down first
12:45It's beautifully maintained
12:49Did he do it himself?
12:51It's beautiful
12:56Did he do it himself?
12:58There is a house in the back
13:00I think it's here
13:02I want to go in from there
13:04There is a gap for one person
13:06I'm sure it's here
13:09There is something on the roof
13:14I think it's this
13:16What is it?
13:18There are 1,2,3 buildings
13:23There is a mandarin orchard in the back
13:27It's here
13:29Is it a mandarin?
13:31It's in a great place
13:33It's a mountain
13:35Yes, it's a mountain
13:42Finally, they arrived at the first store in Kumamoto prefecture
13:50There is a green carpet in the distance
13:55There are a number of mandarin trees on the slope near the root
14:00There are 3 buildings lined up with beautifully selected persimmon trees
14:09Even if you compare it with satellite photos,
14:13The arrangement of the buildings and the shape of the mandarin orchard in the corner of the site are all the same
14:21There is no doubt here
14:24I'm sorry
14:26I just read it
14:28I think there was another passenger car
14:32Are you going shopping now?
14:35It looks like it's vacant now
14:37But there is no doubt
14:39Thank you very much
14:41I'll wait here for a while
14:43Thank you very much
14:45Thank you to Machida-san, who was worried and followed us
14:53Thank you very much
14:55I'm afraid to go home, but maybe it's from the other side
15:01Let's wait here for a while
15:04This mandarin orchard is really amazing
15:08It's very beautifully selected
15:10Doesn't it feel like a castle gate?
15:13I agree
15:14Is Mr. Sasahara doing it himself?
15:16It's hard
15:18Huh?
15:28Mr. Sasahara?
15:30I heard it on the way
15:32I heard this feeling
15:34Are you Mr. Sasahara?
15:36Yes
15:37I'm sorry to surprise you
15:39I'm coming from a TV program called Potsunto Ikkeiya
15:44I heard that the otaku you were aiming for this time was the otaku of Mr. Sasahara
15:53That's not true
15:55The people of the village below told me that I would come to Potsunto Ikkeiya
16:02I see
16:04This person, who was told by the people of the village below that a search party would come someday, is the owner of Potsunto Ikkeiya, Mr. Hiroshi Sasahara, 80 years old
16:18Mr. Hiroshi, what did you make this green wall for?
16:25This is a windbreak
16:28Is this a windbreak?
16:30If you have this, you can prevent the wind from blowing in the north
16:35It's really cool
16:37I made it
16:39Did you make it yourself?
16:41Yes
16:42That's why it's so beautiful
16:44I was very surprised when I came here
16:46Everyone told me that
16:48Is that so?
16:49There are two sides
16:51That's amazing
16:53And here is the entrance
16:57Why is this entrance like this?
16:59Because there is a grave there
17:01Is there a grave here?
17:02Yes, there is a grave there
17:04That's true
17:05It's a big grave
17:07I see
17:10This was made in 1951
17:13It's been 50 years since then
17:15That's right
17:16There was a grave above
17:18I put it down here
17:21Even if you have bad feet, you can walk around the north and south
17:27You made it so that anyone can walk around
17:30You made it with that in mind
17:33And this house
17:35I live alone
17:37Mr. Sasahara lives alone
17:39It's been 20 years since my wife died
17:42It's been 20 years since your wife died
17:45Is this only one house?
17:50There used to be three or four houses
17:53I see
17:54I've been talking about it for a long time
17:56When we were kids, this was the only house
17:59So it's been more than 80 years
18:04That's right
18:05I walked 4km to school from here
18:114km?
18:13Did you walk from here?
18:15Yes
18:17How many mountains are there?
18:20My brother was in Hisshin
18:22Your brother was in Hisshin?
18:24My eldest son is in Hisshin
18:26Your eldest son?
18:27My eldest son
18:29No, no, no
18:31He's a cheerful person
18:32It must have taken a long time to walk 4km
18:36It took an hour
18:38There was no road for cars
18:41It wasn't a road for cars
18:44Yes
18:45This was the road
18:47Inside here?
18:49This was the road
18:51To the right
18:53It's like a beast road
18:56Did you go to school through here?
19:00There was a river in the middle
19:03When it rained, I had to use my knees
19:07I had to cross the river
19:10You had to cross the river?
19:12Yes, I had to walk
19:14I didn't know there was such a thing in Japan
19:17Was there no bridge?
19:18No, there wasn't
19:19Normally, there was no bridge
19:22Why is there a Sasahara bridge here?
19:27There was a place where the road was cut off
19:32Was there a big rock on both sides?
19:36Yes
19:37There was
19:38It was on top of the Sasahara bridge
19:41There was a house on top of the Sasahara bridge?
19:43There was a house on top of the Sasahara bridge
19:48It was a shrine
19:49It was a shrine
19:50I had my own field here
19:54It took me a whole day to get here
19:57It took me a whole day to get here
20:01There was a field here
20:04It was hard to go back and forth
20:06So you decided to build a house here
20:08That's right
20:09I see
20:10It's been over 100 years since my grandfather moved here
20:16He bought an old house here
20:20When did he buy it?
20:22He carried it with a cow
20:24It was heavy, but he carried it with a cow
20:31I see
20:32That's amazing
20:34He carried it with a cow
20:36Because there was no road
20:37It's amazing that you were able to build it
20:40When I built it, it was a house
20:43But there was no one to do it
20:47So I moved it to a river
20:49Are all the trees in front of the house oranges?
20:54Yes, they are oranges
20:56My grandfather started the orange field
21:00I used to think it was a sweet potato field
21:03When I was born, there was already an orange field
21:07It's been over 80 years
21:11Sasahara family started growing oranges on Hiroshi's grandfather, Eijiro
21:19After that, his father, Hatsuyoshi, started growing oranges
21:24But it wasn't enough
21:28Hiroshi, who was the eldest son of the seven brothers,
21:31He didn't go to high school after graduating from junior high school
21:35He went out to work while helping out
21:40I thought I could go to a big city like Tokyo
21:44Did you go to a big city?
21:45Yes
21:46What did you do in a big city?
21:48I worked in a cave
21:50I worked digging underground
21:54Digging underground?
21:55Yes
21:56It was hard
21:57I used to go to Minamata by boat when I went to Tokyo
22:01When I went to Minamata, there was a steam locomotive
22:06Was it an SL locomotive?
22:08Yes, it was an SL locomotive
22:09When I got into the tunnel, the smoke came in
22:14How far did you go from Minamata to Tokyo by SL locomotive?
22:19I think it was around Kumamoto
22:21You went back to Kumamoto
22:24I went back to the steam locomotive and crossed the bridge
22:27Did you go straight to Tokyo?
22:30Yes
22:31It took 24 hours to get to Tokyo
22:36It was hard to sit for 24 hours
22:39That's true
22:41How long did you work in a big city?
22:45I worked there for about 10 years
22:49What did you do after that?
22:50I worked at a soy sauce shop
22:51A soy sauce shop?
22:52Yes
22:53A soy sauce shop?
22:54I was a salesman
22:57A salesman?
22:58Yes
22:59How long did you work there?
23:02I worked there for 51 years
23:04So when you were 30 years old
23:06Yes
23:08How long did you work in a soy sauce shop?
23:10I worked in a soy sauce shop until I was 60 years old
23:14Mr. Hiroshi worked at a soy sauce shop 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 are many orchards on the road
23:35How big is the orchard?
23:37It's about three tiers
23:40Three tiers?
23:4130R
23:4230R?
23:43Yes
23:47Wow
23:49Is it okay?
23:51Doesn't it slip?
23:54Yes, it does
23:56It doesn't slip
23:58This is a chestnut
24:00A chestnut?
24:01I don't do any ironing
24:04If I iron it, the chestnut will be gone
24:08It doesn't slip?
24:10No
24:11Why don't you iron it?
24:12I can do it, but it's a hassle
24:17It's a hassle
24:18It must be hard to work in a place like this
24:20If I iron it, it will become bigger
24:24Doesn't the sweetness change?
24:27The sweetness doesn't change
24:29Is that so?
24:30Yes
24:31Is it okay to rip it?
24:33If it breaks, it's already bad
24:36The skin is very thick
24:38Yes, the skin is thick
24:39It's like treating a slug
24:42Did you start working at this time?
24:45Yes, from now on
24:46I've been working for a long time
24:49Almost half a year?
24:51Yes
24:52When will you harvest the chestnuts?
24:55It's usually around March
24:58It's still early
25:02It's thick
25:03It's amazing
25:04It looks light, but it's very hard

25:57I don't give them to my brothers or relatives
26:00You don't ship them?
26:02No, I don't
26:04Is that so?
26:05If I ship them, they go bad
26:08If the quality isn't good, I can't ship them
26:12You don't have time to do that
26:15Why do you keep doing this?
26:18It's not because my ancestors passed on

27:12Deco-pon is lighter than chestnuts
27:17That's right
27:18The pointy part is famous
27:22That's the characteristic of deco-pon
27:24What?

28:26It must be delicious
28:28It's sweet
28:29It's completely different
28:32Until now, there was a small piece of flesh inside
28:37This one is all the same
28:41The birds know it's delicious, so they make it
28:50You're eating it very cleanly
28:54It feels good to be able to eat it so cleanly
28:58I don't like it
28:59It's amazing
29:00It's a chicken
29:03There's a lot of birds
29:07It's a chicken and an antelope
29:09It's eating a mandarin
29:11It's eating
29:12There's a lot
29:14It's a feast
29:16There are so many
29:19Are you doing it alone?
29:21I'm alone
29:22No one is doing it
29:24I'm doing it alone from washing, disinfecting, and feeding
29:29Isn't it a place like this?
29:31Don't you fall down while working?
29:34I was carried by an ambulance
29:37I fell down
29:39You were carried by an ambulance?
29:41Yes

29:45The ambulance came and carried me to the hospital
29:52It's all flat
29:55It's all flat
29:57I hit my head and fell down
30:03I hit my head and went home
30:06I wanted to go home
30:08I could see the blood
30:11My daughter was born
30:13There were a lot of crossroads
30:19I was lost
30:22I was wondering where I was going
30:27You were lost
30:29I went home
30:31I see
30:32That's why it says Sasahara on the sign
30:35That's why it says Sasahara
30:37I see
30:39If you don't do that, the first person won't know
30:42Is it a number or 17?
30:45I changed it to 1.7
30:481.7
30:501.7 km
30:52The distance so far
30:541.7 km
30:56You changed the distance
30:58That's what it meant
31:00I wanted to write 1.7 km
31:02But I couldn't because of the sign
31:06You couldn't write 1.7 because there was no space
31:09That's what it meant
31:11I see
31:12You should have written Sato more
31:14I should have
31:17Next episode

32:04It's a water heater
32:06It's a solar panel
32:08You can boil hot water
32:10If there is a bath outside the house
32:13It must be so cold to take a bath in winter
32:18That's right
32:19What do you do?
32:21I have no choice
32:23You have no choice
32:27He gave up

32:58It's large
32:59It's low
33:01It's low
33:03Is there a reason?
33:05I'm surprised
33:06Houses in the old days were low
33:08It's amazing
33:09My height is less than 170cm
33:13If you are less than 170cm, you can fit in
33:18You can easily exchange fluorescent lamps
33:22That's right
33:23It's amazing
33:249 people used to live here
33:26That's right
33:28In the old days, there were 5 siblings, parents, and grandparents
33:35There were 11 people
33:3611 people?
33:38It's three generations
33:39I thought it was baseball, but it was soccer
33:41There were 11 people living here
33:45There were 11 people living in this area
33:48What?
33:49In the old days, there was no such thing
33:53There was no kotatsu room?
33:56There was a dojo here
33:58My father used to sell insects here in the winter
34:04I see
34:05From the entrance, it's a dojo
34:08It's up from the dojo
34:10There is a step here
34:12I see
34:13There is a potato field below the tatami room
34:17A potato field?
34:18It's a potato field where you can harvest sweet potatoes
34:22It's like a storage room in the basement
34:25That's right
34:27You said you were raising sweet potatoes
34:30I harvest sweet potatoes in November
34:33Then I put them in the tatami room
34:36Do you usually stay here alone?
34:39That's right
34:40There are a lot of telegrams
34:42What's this?
34:44This is a telegram from the shrine
34:46A telegram from the shrine?
34:48Yes
34:49To my siblings and children
34:52In December, I paid 57,000 yen
34:57You have a lot of siblings
34:59You paid 57,000 yen for the transportation fee?
35:02That's amazing
35:03I sent 44 boxes
35:05That's amazing
35:08I see, to your siblings and children
35:10There are a lot of grandchildren and great-grandchildren
35:13What did you do with the money?
35:15I gave it all away
35:16You worked hard to make it
35:19Did you pay for it and give it to everyone?
35:22That's right
35:23You bought a cardboard box
35:25Isn't it hard?
35:28But I'm glad
35:31If everyone is happy
35:33If everyone is happy
35:36Even if you give it out?
35:37Yes
35:38That's amazing
35:41But there's a picture here
35:45This is my wife
35:47This is my father and mother
35:50This is my first person
35:52I built a house here
35:57I wrote the date and year of death
36:04If I don't do this
36:05The first person who came here
36:07I only remember when I died
36:10My father died on January 25, 1916
36:14Nobuko died on March 30
36:17It's been a while
36:19It's only been a little over a month
36:23But your wife was 51 years old and still young
36:28It's been 21 years since my wife died in March
36:32That's a long time
36:34What kind of person was Nobuko?
36:38I worked hard on cooking
36:41So you made a lot of things
36:43Yes, I made a lot of things
36:45She helped me make bento
36:48Everyday
36:51Is your wife from your hometown?
36:54No, she's far away
36:56She has a cousin in Minamata
36:59I introduced her to her
37:02How old were you when you met her?
37:05About 30 years old
37:07About 8 years older
37:09She was 8 years younger than you
37:11She was a normal child
37:13But she was very serious about everything
37:16From taking care of her parents to taking care of her child
37:19My mother was hospitalized for two years
37:23My sister and Nobuko stayed overnight
37:27And I took care of her
37:30You took care of her all the time?
37:32Yes
37:34I'm grateful for that
37:36Nobuko's parents passed away
37:39I thought my parents were old
37:44Nobuko was 51 years old
37:48Yes, she was 51
37:50She was still young
37:52Yes, she was
37:54She died too early
37:58Nobuko died early
38:02That's why you took care of her for a long time?
38:07I think so
38:11I took care of her for a long time
38:15Please take care of her
38:19I wanted to take care of her for a long time
38:25It's a house that my ancestors built for me
38:34I wish I could live here for another 10 years
38:39Don't say 10 years
38:4120 years
38:42100 years
38:44I hope so
38:47As you know, I live alone
38:52I live alone, so I can't go through the mountain
38:58The road is narrow
39:00It was very narrow
39:02I can't go through the mountain because I live alone
39:10Do you take care of the road?
39:14Yes
39:15You do?
39:16Yes
39:17I see
39:19There is a sign that says Kumoto Sasahara
39:22There are a lot of bridges from Kumoto to here
39:251.7km
39:27Do you manage 1.7km by yourself?
39:31Yes
39:32It's hard
39:34If Hiroshi is gone, no one will do it
39:37Yes
39:38It will be over
39:41Thank you
39:50The camera is moving
39:53There are 4 cameras in the house and 3 cameras outside
39:56So there are 7 cameras in total
39:58If you want to see Pochunto Ikkenya again, go to Tver
40:03If you register as a favorite, it will be even more convenient
40:08Pochunto Ikkenya on the mountain in Kumamoto Prefecture
40:13It's the weekend after 5 days of visiting Sasahara
40:17Hiroshi usually lives alone
40:21He heard that his family would come
40:24So he invited the search team
40:30I didn't expect to pass this road again
40:33The road that Hiroshi saved
40:35It's still narrow
40:39The car is stopped
40:42There is a car
40:44Is this the car of his family?

45:24That's right
45:25Are you worried about your daughter
45:28Are you worried about your daughter
45:31I got a call
45:33I got a call
45:35I got a call
45:37I don't worry about that
45:39I go down everyday
45:41I go down everyday
45:43I go down everyday
45:45I go down everyday
45:47You go to the company that delivers newspapers to pick them up?
45:52That's right.
45:53What?
45:54I go to the newspaper store.
45:55You go to the newspaper store?
45:57That's why I sell newspapers every day.
46:00I don't have a lot of newspapers.
46:02I see.
46:03If you didn't come to pick them up, you would have known something had happened.
46:07But if I didn't go to the newspaper store to pick them up,
46:12they would worry about me.
46:15They would worry about you.
46:16They would think I was possessed by a scorpion.
46:19I think it's okay for me to come down,
46:22but I grew up loving this place.
46:26I see.
46:27That's why I'm here.
46:29So I think it's okay for me to be healthy.
46:32Even if I live in an abandoned house,
46:34it's good that I'm used to living here.
46:37My sister and daughter are close to me,
46:40so it's helpful for me.
46:42When the tsunami hit,
46:44I couldn't do anything on my own.
46:47It's a relief that my family came to help me.
46:50I see.
46:51It's a relief that your family is close to you.
46:54That's right.
46:57He lives alone on a mountain far away from his hometown.
47:02But his daughter and sister care for him,
47:06so he feels at ease.
47:09His grandfather built this house,
47:11and he was born and raised here.
47:13It's a precious house
47:15where his memories with his wife,
47:17whom he lost when he was young.
47:21It's hard to take care of the orange orchard
47:24in Kyusha-men every year,
47:28but I'm glad that everyone is happy to eat here.
47:32He plans to protect the house
47:35and the orange orchard for a long time.
47:38Hiroshi is determined to do so.
47:44It was a wonderful story.
47:47Congratulations to both of you.
47:51It was a good story.
47:54He built the house by himself
47:56to avoid the north wind.
47:58Basically, he built the house by himself.
48:00The reason he built the house
48:02was to protect the grave
48:04where his wife slept.
48:07I felt love at the beginning of the story.
48:09When he packed up the cardboard boxes,
48:11he must have been excited.
48:13He thought that everyone would be happy
48:15and would come here again this year.
48:17Many generations gather here
48:19on New Year's Day.
48:21I can't get enough of it.
48:23It's nice to have such a place.
48:25You spend time at home in the city.
48:27I've been busy lately,
48:29so I haven't been able to go out.
48:31But I thought I had to go there again.
48:33That's right.
