00:14That is the Showa-era paradise that lives in the Reiwa era.

00:36Hello, this is Kajihara Zen.
00:39Today, we are here at Hankyu.
00:50No, today we are at Sannomiya station in Kobe.
01:00What is Sannomiya?
01:02Sannomiya is the center of Hyogo prefecture.
01:06Is that so? Did you know that?
01:08So, let's walk around the center of Hyogo prefecture.
01:13Let's go.
01:16This time, we are at Sannomiya, the largest residential area in the center of Kobe.
01:27Hankyu, Hanshin, and JR intersect at the famous terminal station in Kansai.
01:36Around here, there are large commercial facilities and restaurants.
01:43Zen, have you ever been to Sannomiya?
01:46Not at all.
01:51Isn't it quite grand?
01:56Wow, there are a lot of CDs and DVDs.
02:04Sannomiya is a shopping district called Sen-i-gai.
02:08In the past, people used to shop at places like Sen-i-gai.
02:14People used to shop at places like Sen-i-gai.
02:20It's a place with a long history.
02:25This time, we are going to go to this building on the left.

02:32Yes, this one.

02:36What is this?
02:38It's good to go to the center plaza.
02:41It's good to go to the center plaza.
02:44It's a building.
02:46What is this San-plaza on the side?
02:48Is this also a building?
02:50Actually, this is one of the buildings we are going to this time.
02:55And there is another building over there.
02:57It's connected.
02:58It's a building of the same color.
03:03What does that mean?
03:04Does that mean we are going to put them all together?
03:09We have to go inside.
03:10Maybe it's just wide on the side.
03:12Maybe the building is like this.
03:14Like this?
03:16It looks like it's over if we take a walk.
03:20We can go this way.
03:22I don't know.
03:24This time, we are going to visit the building in front of Sannomiya station, San-center plaza.
03:33The center plaza is standing in the center.
03:37The center plaza Nishikan is on the right.
03:41And the San-plaza is on the left.
03:44These three buildings are called San-center plaza.
03:54The San-plaza and the center plaza are connected inside as one building.
04:00The independent Nishikan is connected by an intercom.
04:04Also, between the buildings, there are two streets called Kyomachi-suji and Ikuta-suji.
04:10We can go through the shopping street called Sannomiya center street.
04:17There is enough space.
04:20Did you find out?
04:22I found out right away.
04:24This is the building where we took a walk.
04:30The building?
04:31Yes, the building.
04:32Is this not finished yet?
04:35This is the center.
04:38This is the center.
04:43This area looks like a market.
04:48It's amazing.
04:51There are many different genres.
04:54It's crazy.
04:55There is a ramen shop, a bento shop, and a ramen shop.
05:01This is also a ramen shop.
05:04In a bad way, it's a mess.
05:07You don't have to do it in a bad way.
05:12This is the boundary.
05:15It's dangerous.
05:16This area has a similar atmosphere.
05:18I thought I had to go further.
05:23The width of the San Center Plaza is about 350 meters.
05:28Zen-san walked to the end.
05:30Let's start with the center plaza in the center.
05:36The center plaza was built 50 years ago, in the 50th year of the Showa era.
05:42The building has 19 floors.
05:45From the basement to the 3rd floor, there are about 140 shops.
05:51From the 4th floor to the top, there is a parking lot and an office.
05:55By the way, this year when the building was built, the tulip cactus flower was a hit.
06:02The tulip cactus flower was a hit.
06:09This is a pachinko machine.
06:13This is amazing.
06:16This is a gift.
06:18This is amazing.
06:20I don't even want to read it.
06:24Chocolate

06:31This is crazy.
06:33Sanrio is in a mess.
06:47There will be more shops, right?
06:49That's right.
06:50But there are a lot of places that are closed.
06:54I see.
06:56On the 1st floor, there is a drug store and a nail salon.
07:05There are about 40 shops with a variety of items such as a coin shop.
07:22A kimono shop.
07:25This is an eyewear shop.
07:28This is interesting.

07:45There are old kimonos and new kimonos.
07:47Are you a couple?
07:49That's right.
07:50Are you a husband and wife?
07:52That's right.
07:53Are the old kimonos quite old?
07:55They are not that old.
07:58They are from the Showa period.

08:40We also sell kimono.
08:46Is that a kimono with a dummy?
08:49This is also a kimono.
08:51This is...
08:53Edokomon.
08:55Even if you say Edokomon...
08:57Well...
08:59Is this a kimono?
09:01No, it's a kimono.
09:03Oh, it's a kimono?
09:05This is a recycled kimono.
09:07Oh, is it expensive?
09:09No, it's not that expensive.
09:11Roughly?
09:13It's 5 or 6 million yen.
09:15It's recycled, so it's about 70,000 yen.
09:17It's about 50,000 yen.
09:19It's about 50,000 yen.
09:21I wear it at work,
09:23but I don't buy it myself.
09:25Oh, you don't?
09:27No, I don't.
09:29It just so happens that
09:31there's a kimono shop
09:33where I work,
09:35and they show me a few pieces,
09:37and they have beautiful patterns
09:39and an obi.
09:41I think it's nice.
09:43At that time,
09:45it was heavy.
09:49When did you come to Kobe?
09:51It's been more than 30 years.
09:53You came to Kobe.
09:55I worked in Kobe.
09:57It was in full bloom.
09:59It was sparkling.
10:01It was in full bloom.
10:03There were no tenants.
10:05Not on the second floor or the third floor.
10:07It was hard to get in there.
10:09It was hard.
10:11Kobe
10:19In the 20th century,
10:21after 128 air raids,
10:23the area around Kobe
10:25suffered devastating damage.
10:31When the war ended,
10:33dark spots appeared
10:35all over the city of Kobe.
10:37Among them,
10:39Sannomiya Jiyu Ichiba,
10:41which has about 1.5 km
10:43from the Kouka Station
10:45to the Motomachi Station,
10:47was the largest in Japan.
10:53In 1932,
10:55when the Kobe City Hall
10:57moved to Sannomiya,
10:59the city began to recover rapidly.
11:03When the economic boom began,
11:05the redevelopment plan
11:07for Sannomiya Jiyu Ichiba
11:09began.
11:11The demolition of the dark spots
11:13was carried out,
11:15and the construction of
11:17a new building began.
11:19And then,
11:21in 1945,
11:23the first to be built
11:25was the Sanplaza,
11:27which was built
11:29on the ground floor
11:31and the ground floor
11:3310 times.
11:35And then,
11:37in 1953,
11:39the eight-story
11:41Center Plaza Nishikan was built.
11:43Before Sannomiya,
11:45a huge San Center Plaza
11:47was built,
11:49and it became a landmark
11:51symbolizing Sannomiya,
11:53the center of Kobe.
11:55However,
11:59on January 17,
12:015.46 a.m.,
12:03the Hanshin Awaji Earthquake,
12:05which recorded
12:07a seismic intensity of 7,
12:09occurred.
12:11It caused
12:13massive damage
12:15to the city of Kobe.
12:19The building
12:21was no exception.
12:23The San Plaza,
12:25which was originally built
12:27on the ground floor 10 times,
12:29was demolished
12:31and rebuilt.
12:33After that,
12:35the building was rebuilt
12:37again and again.
12:41In front of Sannomiya Station,
12:43we can still see
12:45the streets of Kobe.
12:51I'm going to take a picture.
12:53Cheese!
12:57Kimono culture,
12:59thank you.
13:03Thank you very much.
13:19San Center Plaza,

14:19I used to have a shop
14:21in Himeji.

14:25because of COVID-19.
14:27So I have a shop
14:29near my house.
14:33Rani, from Mumbai, India,
14:35runs an Indian grocery store
14:37called Saha.
14:39In the store,

20:05Congregation Member question.
20:07¶¶
20:10Look at this escalator.
20:16This is connected to the station.
20:18Yes, it is.
20:25And this is the Yorishiso-Ai.
20:27This scenery is complicated.
20:31I'm confused.
20:32Doesn't it look like a labyrinth?
20:35The shape of the mirror, the globe,
20:38the three-wheeled car,
20:40the stairs in the back,
20:42it's all so realistic.
20:44It's surreal.
20:50It's a mess here too.
20:53It would be a lot different without the mirror.
20:56Wow, amazing.
20:59This is the clock tower Mazeran-Kun,
21:02which was installed at the opening of the building.
21:05Mazeran is fine.
21:07Let's put a kun on it.
21:15Is there any connection with Mazeran,
21:18which has traveled around the world?
21:20We asked the people involved,
21:23but no one knew the truth.
21:29It's a hobby shop.
21:34What do you think of this subculture?
21:42I don't hate it because there's no end to it.
21:47But it's enough for me to see it.
21:53It's a underwear shop.
21:59Wow.
22:01Here?
22:03Hello.
22:05Good morning.
22:06Good morning.
22:07You have a lot of stuff.
22:10Is this a stocking shop?
22:12Yes.
22:13That's amazing.
22:16How long have you been running this shop?
22:18It's been 50 years since this building was built.
22:2250 years?
22:23How many years has it been since it was built?
22:27It's been 50 years.
22:29Really?
22:30Since then?
22:31I've been doing stockings for a while.
22:35Mr. Tabifuku specializes in women's underwear,
22:39such as stockings and shorts.
22:42Ms. Sachiko and her sister, Keiko, are in charge of the store.
22:48Your sister?
22:49Yes.
22:50So you've been doing this for a long time?
22:52Yes.
22:53Really?
22:54Yes.
22:56Mr. Tabifuku also runs the lingerie shop Ms. Zen passed by earlier.
23:01Ms. Kazumi runs it.
23:09The three sisters have been working together for 50 years.
23:16Is this a ring?
23:18Yes, it's a five-finger ring.
23:21Really?
23:23I didn't know that.
23:24Zen, why don't you buy one for her?
23:27I'm used to it, so I don't need a ring.
23:32You don't need a ring?
23:33I don't need a ring.
23:34Do you want to try it on?
23:36No, I don't want it.
23:37Really?
23:39What do you want to wear?
23:40It's too revealing.
23:41I prefer skin tone.
23:44What colors do you have?
23:45I have skin tone and black.
23:47Which do you prefer, black or skin tone?
23:48I prefer skin tone.
23:49Black?
23:50Black is better.
23:51Black is better?
23:54It's too revealing.
23:55No, no.
23:56Young people these days don't wear black.
24:01Is it okay?
24:03It's rude.
24:05No, no.
24:06Is it rude?
24:08It's rude.
24:09It's not that high.
24:11Women don't like it when it's too revealing.
24:16Men prefer it to be tight.
24:18Right?
24:20Right?
24:21It's better to be tight.
24:23Don't push Zen-san's hobby.
24:27Are you a Kobe girl?
24:28Yes, I'm a pure Kobe girl.
24:31Why did you open a shop here?
24:35I don't like traveling.
24:37Oh, I see.
24:39My parents...
24:40Really?
24:41Yes.
24:42You don't make it?
24:43You sell it?
24:44Well, my parents are in Seido.
24:47I see.
24:48I used to play with it just in front of my house.
24:50I was surprised.
24:51Right?
24:52I knew it.
24:53It's really old.
24:57No, it's not.
24:58A long time ago, there was a drama called Mou Ichizoku.
25:01It was a travel shop called Usagiya by Ito Oshiro.
25:05In 1838, 120 years ago,
25:08my grandfather established a traveling clothing store.
25:14After the war, it changed from Japanese clothing to Western clothing.
25:18At once, it was treated as a women's underwear for imported goods.
25:22This became popular.
25:26After that, it opened multiple stores.
25:29It was also a family business,
25:31so all three sisters decided to open a shop.
25:36Traveling clothes sold well,
25:39and it was natural for them to travel abroad every year.
25:42The good times continued, but...
25:55The family business that made the traveling business went bankrupt.
26:02And the Sun Center Plaza was also greatly damaged.
26:06What the three sisters saw was a completely different Kobe cityscape.
26:16It's strange.
26:17When you're in despair, everyone laughs.
26:20They laugh.
26:21It's like...
26:22That's how it is.
26:23Everyone loses their strength.
26:25It's like...
26:28But you can't just be depressed.
26:31You must overcome despair.
26:34After overcoming despair, they set out on the path of reconstruction.
26:39Keiko, the eldest daughter with a noble personality, led the way,
26:43and the two sisters supported her.
26:46Four months after the quake, the traveling clothes reopened.
26:52But this building is nice, isn't it?
26:54Do you think it was built 50 years ago?
26:56I don't think so.
26:57They made it so well.
26:58For a building like this...
27:00It's not narrow.
27:02It's a good building.
27:03I think so, too.
27:04And it's nice to line up on the street like this.
27:08It's a good experience.
27:10I think so, too.
27:15Thank you very much.
27:16Thank you very much.
27:19Have a long, friendly, and fun life.
27:21Good luck.
27:24It's a good picture.
27:26After the quake, the building was completely destroyed.
27:35It's amazing.
27:36This place is very rich.
27:43This is a very famous store.
27:45I think so, too.
27:48Unlike the previous floor, which was crowded with more than 40 stores,
27:53the third floor is full of old stores.
27:56There are specialty stores such as anime and plastic models and outdoor goods.
28:06What's upstairs from the third floor?
28:11There's a specialty school.
28:14Health insurance.
28:17I see.
28:20There's a station.
28:22It's like a fortified building.
28:26It's not allowed to take pictures of the upper floors where companies enter.
28:31So, let's go down to the basement.
28:36It's very rich, isn't it?
28:41It's because of the number of stores.
28:45Why didn't I come here before?
28:48There's a food store here, too.
28:51A food store and a clothing store.
28:59Let's go this way.
29:02It's very rich.
29:05It's like a signboard.
29:07There's a lot of food here.
29:16There are a lot of Chinese food.
29:19I think so, too.
29:21Here it is. Yakisoba.
29:24I like this.
29:28Ryuhorumon Yakisoba.
29:30Do you like yakisoba?
29:32I like yakisoba.
29:34I usually eat Fujinomiya Yakisoba.
29:37It's very famous.
29:40You like yakisoba and yakimeshi, don't you?
29:42Yes, I like them.
29:44I want you to eat as much as you can.
29:48Do you come here often?
29:50Yes, I do.
29:51That's good.
29:52See you.
29:54What am I?
29:58I'm just watching people eat.
30:02There are about 50 food stores on the ground floor.
30:06I don't know where to go.
30:15Center Plaza in Sannomiya, Kobe.
30:18Let's go eat another one.
30:26I'd like to have soba with soy sauce.
30:29Here you are.
30:30What should I do?
30:33Excuse me.
30:35I'm just wandering around the building of BS Fuji.
30:40I have a visitor.
30:42Excuse me.
30:45Mr. Narutoan has been in business in Sannomiya for 104 years.
30:51This display has a good taste.
30:56Do you have yakisoba and soba?
30:58The current owner is Mr. Chiyoko Sayanagi, the third generation.
31:04The second generation was Mr. Masayoshi, the husband.
31:11Mr. Matazo Sayanagi, the first generation, was from Tokushima Prefecture, so he was named Narutoan.
31:19He has been in business on the street for a long time, but he moved to this place 50 years ago when the building was opened.
31:32What is that?
31:34It's 100 years old.
31:38100 years?
31:40Who drew that?
31:42My grandson.
31:43Isn't it too good?
31:46What?
31:47It's like a masterpiece.
31:49He's a college student now.
31:51He started to like it when he was in high school.
31:54That's great.
31:56Suji is a treasure of Japan.
32:00It's not a soba specializing in Naruto, is it?
32:07In the old days, I didn't go to training at all.
32:13I thought about how to make soup stock by myself.
32:18I think it's great.
32:21When I came to Japan, I cut bonito from the raw material.
32:26I saw it, and there was a workshop over there, so I cut it.
32:31But if it didn't work, I brought it home.
32:34If I didn't like it, I brought it home.
32:37He's an old man, so he's very hard-working.
32:41I see.
32:42Let's learn from him.
32:46Let's eat.
32:49Do you want to eat Zaru soba?
32:51Zaru soba?
32:52Yes, Zaru soba.
32:53Okay.
32:55The proud soba is the same recipe inherited from the first generation.
33:01It's a thin soba that's easy to eat.
33:14Let's eat.
33:15Please.
33:18Isn't that a lot?
33:20What?
33:22I put in too much.
33:25I put in too much.
33:27I put in too much.
33:30I put in too much.
33:39It's quite thick.
33:42Yes, it is.
33:43It's a little Kanto style.
33:45Soba is very easy to eat.
33:48My husband made it thin so that everyone can eat it easily.
33:53It's easy to eat.
33:56This soba is a little long.
33:59Soba is long.
34:00It's long, isn't it?
34:01It's a little Kanto style, so it's easy to eat.
34:06My soba is long.
34:09It's a little sour, so it's easy to eat.
34:14It's hard to eat.
34:16That's why I put in too much at first.
34:19How long have you been helping out?
34:23I got married when I was 20.
34:27That's early.
34:28I've been helping out since I was 21.
34:35I've been helping out since I was 20.
34:39You've been helping out since you were 20?
34:46Yes, since I was 21.

35:39To exchange our calls,
35:42for that time,
35:44we decided to come here.
35:45That was one of the main reasons I came here to share my story with you.
35:49So did you become a part of this house because of your son?
35:52Yes, I guess.
35:53So you were happy that he came back?
35:56Yes.
35:58When I was a kid, I used to wait for my uncle to come home from work.
36:21I would go to his house to drink tea or watch a movie.
36:25But now I don't like it at all.
36:43I knew he was kind, so I didn't hate him.
36:55But I didn't want to hurt him.
37:00I didn't want to hurt him.
37:05I didn't want to hurt him.
37:10I didn't want to hurt him.
37:15I didn't want to hurt him.
37:40My husband worked hard until the 100th anniversary.
37:44He said he would work hard for the 100th anniversary.
37:47I worked hard for that.
37:49I worked hard until the 100th anniversary.
