00:00To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ado-machi, we have prepared a special VTR for you.
00:08Please take a look.
00:10The number of cities we have visited so far is 1,500.
00:15However, we have forgotten an important city.
00:18I am from Shimojo-mura, Shimo-inagun, Nagano prefecture.
00:20I am from Shimojo-mura, Shimo-inagun, Nagano prefecture.
00:22I am from Shimojo-mura, Shimo-inagun, Nagano prefecture.
00:24This is MINE's hometown, Shimojo-mura, Shimo-inagun, Nagano prefecture.
00:30It takes about 4 hours by car from Tokyo.
00:33It is a small village with a population of about 3,400 in the south of Nagano prefecture.
00:40What kind of village did MINE grow up in?
00:44This is the first time to see it.
00:48Shimojo-mura, Shimo-inagun, Nagano prefecture.
00:55When I entered Shimojo-mura, I saw this signboard.
01:01This signboard makes it easy to understand that this is MINE's hometown.
01:07I immediately asked the villagers.
01:10Then...
01:11I should have put a signboard.
01:17Then, this man was cutting firewood.
01:22Is there a tourist attraction?
01:24Tourist attractions are mountains.
01:26I can see the mountains from the South and Central Alps.
01:30Gokurakutouge is the highest mountain.
01:33It has a good view.
01:35I don't want to go over there.
01:38The pride of the villagers is the observatory where they can see the village and mountains from a height of about 1,000 meters.
01:4610th place, Gokurakutouge Panorama Park.
01:51The village of Shimojo is surrounded by morning light from the South Alps.
01:58It's a paradise.
02:00That's right.
02:02When you run on the main street of the village, you will see it.
02:069th place, Shinanoji-Shimojo.
02:10It's beautiful.
02:11The symbol is the soba castle.
02:17When you order a popular dish called TONOSAMA, a castle appears.
02:23When you leave the roof of the castle, you can see soba noodles.
02:27The soba noodles are home-made.
02:31There is also a special product, Oyada spicy radish.
02:35That's right.
02:36At the UMAIMONO-KAN next door, you can buy Shimojo village's famous products.
02:42Among them, the most popular is YOMOGI-MOCHI made by mothers.
02:47It's called YOMOGI-KO.
02:49It looks delicious.
02:50I want to eat this.
02:52This is all made of Shimojo.
02:54It's the same with Metsugane, Azuki, and Ogomimi.
02:58It's all made of Shimojo.
03:01The first word the villagers heard.
03:05I went to dig for HAKKOMEKKO.
03:07When I became an old woman, I couldn't find HAKKOMEKKO.
03:14It's a mysterious game that is transmitted to Shimojo village.
03:188th place, HAKKOMEKKO.
03:20What is this?
03:21First, shake the sand of the ant hell.
03:24It makes you think that an ant has fallen into a trap.
03:30And then.
03:32If you can catch it, it's fun.
03:38It's like fishing.
03:40By the way, the person next to Shimojo village.
03:45Have you ever heard of HAKKOMEKKO?
03:47What?
03:48HAKKOMEKKO.
03:50HAKKOMEKKO?
03:52I didn't know at all.
03:56When you walk on a deserted mountain road, you will see.
04:01The first sushi restaurant in the village.
04:04It opened 32 years ago.
04:077th place, SUSHI YOSHIMURA.
04:10Welcome.
04:11The owner, who was raised in Tokyo, is from SHIMOJO village.
04:16When I was a kid, I didn't know much about fish.
04:21Grandma rolled FUTOMAKI, OIDARI-SAN, NATTO-MAKI.
04:26What is the seafood of your childhood?
04:30CHIKUWA?
04:32CHIKUWA?
04:34Edomai-sushi, which is particular about natural ingredients.
04:39Customers are coming from Tokyo as well.
04:45It is sold normally at roadside stations and convenience stores in the village.
04:49This is a protein source that is indispensable for Shinshu's dining table.
04:546th place, KONCHUSHOKU.
04:57It's tough.
04:59However, the larvae of OOSUZUMEBACHI are the best companion for dinner.
05:04It's delicious.
05:07What kind of taste is it?
05:08HOAGURA.
05:12MINE's family has a supermarket in the village.
05:18It used to be SAKAYA.
05:205th place, SUPER SAKAYA.
05:24Currently, MINE's child is running the shop.
05:32The specialty of SUPER SAKAYA is RYUTA WINE and SOBA-JOCHI.
05:40This is the taste of my heart.
05:444th place, GOHEIMOCHI.
05:49You can take out GOHEIMOCHI at SHIRASAMISO, an inn where you can have a quiet meal.
05:56Young women from Tokyo have inherited the taste of tradition.
06:01The base sauce of SHINSHU MISO contains walnuts and sesame seeds.
06:09GOHEIMOCHI goes well with rice.
06:15GOHEIMOCHI goes well with rice.
06:20GOHEIMOCHI goes well with rice.
06:26TAIYU, who came from NAGOYA, started his business in the village.
06:323rd place, SHIMOJO KABUKI.
06:36Currently, 25 members of the preservation committee have inherited the tradition.
06:43The main member of the preservation committee, MITSURU SAITO, is MINE's child.
06:50I want to continue this tradition for 300, 600, and 900 years.
06:59SHIMOJO village, which was once troubled by serious family issues, started to support immigrants.
07:06They rent out their village house for 30,000 yen a month and provide various child care services.
07:13Then, the population recovered rapidly.
07:19SHIMOJO village is called this.
07:242nd place, KISEKI NO PIRA.
07:29Currently, there are 164 primary school children in SHIMOJO village.
07:35There are many children who died of starvation in this village.
07:41KINUTA HIROTO, a first-year student, also moved from Kyoto 10 years ago.
07:47He became a farmer.
07:53I'm glad I moved.
07:58This is the place where I wanted to live and raise my children.
08:05It takes an hour to walk to the primary school.
08:12Finally, the 1st place of SHIMOJO village.
08:17What do you think is the 1st place of SHIMOJO village?
08:20It's MINE.
08:23It's RYUTA MINE.
08:26He is a big star born in SHIMOJO village.
08:291st place, RYUTA MINE.
08:33He showed me a precious photo at his family's supermarket.
08:40This is RYUTA MINE at a high school cultural festival.
08:44His real name is KIYOSHI SHIMOJIMA.
08:47He was chosen as Romeo by Romeo and Juliet.
08:52He was convinced of his talent as an actor.
08:57He asked his brother SHUNJI.
09:01I didn't think I could do that.
09:06It's a world that doesn't matter at all.
09:09I thought it would be nice to have hope, but I couldn't.
09:15KIYOSHI SHIMOJIMA understood his brother's worries.
09:20And he was successful.
09:24Everyone in the class was impressed by him.
09:29Are you in the same class?
09:31I was impressed by him.
09:35He has a low nose, but his nose is a little warm.
09:40At that time, I licked the paint.
09:43The green and yellow were sweet.
09:46I did something a little strange.
09:49That's why the green was connected.
09:53KIYOSHI SHIMOJIMA, good luck.
09:57This is the best store in SHIMOJO village.
10:04Thank you very much.
10:07You are the first place.
10:10I will do my best.
10:14Do you know ZUKUDASE?
10:17What is ZUKUDASE?
10:19It's different from GANBARE.
10:21GANBARE has various meanings.
10:24I did it at a wedding in the countryside.
10:27It's a shrine in SHIMOJO village.
10:31The altitude is 777m.
10:35It has a good meaning.
10:39But only we get married at the shrine.
10:44Did you stop seeing us?
10:47I don't think so.
