00:00Most of the staff are the same as they used to be.
00:05How many years have you been working with them?
00:10I was with them last November.
00:15Is it already November?
00:18Yes, the broadcast was in November, so the shooting was earlier.
00:23It's getting earlier every year.
00:28This is Kuwana.
00:33Kuwana is in Mie Prefecture.
00:36I don't know where Kuwana is.
00:42Tamori is now in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture.
00:46Tamori Murata's new journey begins here.
00:50Good evening, I'm Ayumyon, a narrator.
00:54I'm going to enjoy my trip with Tamori.
01:00What are we going to do in Kuwana today?
01:04I want to know.
01:07I know where Kuwana is.
01:09What are we going to do?
01:11I see a yagura.
01:13What does that mean?
01:15A yagura
01:24Is this Kuwana Castle?
01:27Yes, it is.
01:29Is this after Kuwana Castle?
01:33Tamori!
01:35Tamori!
01:37Good evening.
01:39Good evening.
01:42Kobayashi Kaozusa will guide us on our trip.
01:46He was born and raised in Mie Prefecture.
01:49He studies the history of the local area.
01:52Why is there a yagura here?
01:57First, look at this.
02:00Look at my right hand.
02:04The river is flowing.
02:07I can see the high-rise buildings.
02:10Is that the high-rise building around Nagoya?
02:13Yes, it is.
02:15Can you look at this?
02:20We are now in this area.
02:25The three basic lines are gathered here.
02:29That's right.
02:31However, it wasn't like this in the Edo period.
02:36The sea used to flow into this area.
02:40That's right.
02:42If you want to go west from Nagoya,
02:47the shortest route is...
02:50The sea.
02:51Yes, you have to cross the sea.
02:54This is the official route of Tokaido.
02:59That's right.
03:02I didn't know there was a route to cross the sea in Tokaido.
03:07So, the destination of the ship is Kuwana.
03:14We can see the traces of the shipwreck in the Edo period.
03:20It's close to here.
03:22Is it?
03:23Yes, it is.
03:24Let's go there.
03:26This is a picture of Kuwana drawn by Hiroshige in Tokaido.
03:36I have it.
03:38Do you?
03:39Yes, I do.
03:41It's not a good picture, so I bought it cheaply.
03:45Since then, I wanted to visit Kuwana at least once.
03:49I'm glad to hear that.
03:50Is it around that picture?
03:52There is a ship there.
03:54Yes, it is.
03:55Let's go there.
03:58Let's go there.
04:00I'm getting excited.
04:02Let's go.
04:05It's magnificent.
04:08It's very beautiful.
04:10It was a symbol of Kuwana in the Edo period.
04:15This?
04:16Yes.
04:17In fact, Kuwana was built here by Honda Tadakatsu,
04:22who was once known as the great general of the world
04:25near Ieyasu.
04:30Honda Tadakatsu built it?
04:33Yes, he did.
04:34This yagura was also a symbol of Tokugawa,
04:40who was known as the great general of the world.
04:46It was also a symbol of Tokugawa.
04:48Yes.
04:51Let's go down.
05:04We are now in an open area.
05:08This is where the ship docked.
05:12It wasn't here in the Edo period.
05:15That's right.
05:17I think this is the same as the one Tamori-san is holding.
05:21This is it.
05:23I knew it.
05:24This is the picture of Kuwana in Tokaido 53,
05:28which was painted by Hiroshige Utagawa.
05:32Is this where the ship docked?
05:35That's right.
05:36That's right.
05:38This is it.
05:40There was a yagura here, and it was docked here.
05:43Yes, that's right.
05:44This is what it looks like.
05:46Oh, wow.
05:48It's still there.
05:51There was no docking in the Edo period,
05:53so a lot of ships came to this place.
05:56That's right.
06:00By the way,
06:02don't you want to know the topic of today's trip?
06:06Yes.
06:08I completely forgot.
06:10There is a topic after all.
06:12Of course there is.
06:14Then, can you look back?
06:17Yes.
06:19What do you see?
06:20This is a big fort.
06:22The trees are very big.
06:25It's huge.
06:28This is the place where the ships from Tokaido
06:32were picked up.
06:35They were picked up here.
06:36That's right.
06:37Has this place been here for a long time?
06:39That's right.
06:40I see.
06:42Why do you think there is such a magnificent fort here?
06:47What?
06:49Forts are not common, right?
06:51No.
06:52What?
06:56There is an important shrine here.
07:01What is the purpose of the Edo people's journey
07:05who came all the way from Tokaido?
07:08Is it Ise?
07:09That's right.
07:11I see.
07:13So this fort is for the Ise Shrine.
07:17I see.
07:19In the Edo period,
07:21there were 5 million people a year.
07:24Isn't that amazing?
07:265 million people?
07:27Yes.
07:28That's a lot of people.
07:30That's how many people came to Ise.
07:34They traveled for months to come to Ise.
07:38So the Ise Shrine started from here.
07:42That's right.
07:43The road leading to this fort is the road leading to Ise Shrine.
07:49Ise Shrine.
07:50Yes, there was a road leading to Ise Shrine.
07:53Please take a look at this.
07:56Ise Ondo.
07:57Yes.
07:58I want to go to Ise.
07:59I want to see the Ise Shrine.
08:00Yes.
08:01At least once in my life.
08:02Yes.
08:03Ise Shrine.
08:04He wanted to see the Ise Shrine.
08:05The road leading to Ise Ondo was so attractive that it was called Ise Ondo.
08:10Does that mean the road is interesting?
08:12Yes, that's right.
08:13Does that mean the road is interesting?
08:17Yes.
08:18So, here is the topic of the trip.
08:22The Ise Shrine I admire.
08:25The difference between going to the Ise Shrine and not going to the Ise Shrine.
08:27The charm of Ise Shrine.
08:29Yes.
08:30I'm excited as soon as I get here.
08:33That's right.
08:34What about you?
08:35I'm going to the Ise Shrine now.
08:40Is the Ise Shrine attractive?
08:42Yes, it is.
08:44Then, let's go to the Ise Shrine to find the charm that makes travelers want to walk.
08:51Let's go.
08:55What does it mean to be Ise?
09:00It's started.
09:01Bratamori.
09:02The stage of the journey is Iseji, the road leading to the Ise Shrine.
09:07This time, we will travel the main route of people who came to Ise from Edo.
09:14It starts from Kuwana and ends at Tokaido.
09:18It is a 90km road leading to the Ise Shrine.
09:25In the Edo period, there were 5 million people a year.
09:29At that time, one in six people living in Japan went to Ise.
09:34It's very popular.
09:37The reason why it is so popular is not only because of the Ise Shrine, but also because of the charm of the Ise Shrine itself.
09:46The charm of the Ise Shrine that you can see if you go to the Ise Shrine.
09:52Tamori will travel around and reveal it.
09:57Today is Bratamori at the Ise Shrine.
10:07Bratamori will travel around and reveal it.
10:10Today is Bratamori at the Ise Shrine.
10:13Bratamori will travel around and reveal it.

10:31Bratamori will travel around and reveal it.
10:34Bratamori will travel around and reveal it.
10:37Bratamori will travel around and reveal it.
10:43First, let's explore the charm of the Ise Shrine at the Kuwana Shrine right in front of the fortress.
10:51Is this it?
10:52Yes.
10:53This is the Ise Shrine.
10:55The Ise Shrine.
10:57It's a little unusual.
11:00How many hatagoyas were there at the Kuwana Shrine?
11:06I think there were more at the Kuwana Shrine than at the Asuta Shrine.
11:15The Kuwana Shrine has the most Hatagoyas.
11:22Actually, the Kuwana Shrine has the second most Hatagoyas.
11:26How many Hatagoyas were there?
11:28There were 120 Hatagoyas at the Kuwana Shrine.
11:31Really?
11:33Do you know that there is a specialty of the Kuwana Shrine?
11:37Speaking of the Kuwana Shrine, it is called the grilled Hamaguri of the Kuwana Shrine.
11:43That's right.
11:44The word grilled Hamaguri is a combination of the word Kuwana and the word Kuwana.
11:54By the way, there is Mr. Yaji and Mr. Kita at Hizakurige on the way to the east coast.
12:01They were trying to eat the grilled Hamaguri, which is a specialty of the Kuwana Shrine.
12:05They were so excited that they got in the way of the hot shellfish.
12:10It's a famous place that has such an episode.
12:15Is this still a specialty?
12:17Yes, it's still a specialty.
12:19Now that we've come to the Kuwana Shrine, let's eat first.
12:27Can we eat here?
12:28Yes, of course.
12:29That's great.
12:30That's great.
12:32This is the restaurant.
12:34Here?
12:35Yes.
12:36We came to the right place to talk.
12:40It's like we measured it.
12:42It's like we edited it.
12:45That's not true.
12:47Hello.
12:49Hello.
12:50Thank you for coming.
12:52Let's eat the grilled Hamaguri, a specialty of the Kuwana Shrine.
12:58Today, we prepared a specialty of the Hamaguri.
13:01Here it is.
13:04It's a fine Hamaguri.
13:06Is this caught locally?
13:08Yes, it's caught at the local harbor.
13:12Why is Hamaguri a specialty of the Kuwana Shrine?
13:17The Kuwana Shrine is located at the mouth of the Kusho River.
13:21The river provides nutrients.
13:23That's right.
13:24The nutrients of the river and the minerals of the sea are mixed to create a good water.
13:28It's not seasoned at all.
13:30It's steamed.
13:32I see.
13:33I'd like to see it.
13:35I'd like to see it.
13:36I'll remove the lid.
13:38Excuse me.
13:41Wow.
13:43It's open.
13:45It looks delicious.
13:48It's hot.
13:50It's hot.
13:51I'll eat it with the soup.
14:03It's delicious.
14:08It's fluffy and delicious.
14:15It's delicious.
14:20There are a lot of fish.
14:24It looks delicious.
14:25If there is a local gourmet like this, I want to go to Iseji.
14:31Let's start with Iseji.
14:33Let's start with delicious Hamaguri.
14:37This is one of the attractions of Iseji.
14:42We arrived here in the morning.
14:45It's relaxing and there are a lot of people here.
14:48The people of Edo are nice.
14:52Please look at the route of the journey.
14:57The red route is Iseji.
15:00The blue route is Tokaido.
15:04Iseji is far away.
15:06I'm in Kuwana now.
15:09It's right here.
15:11It's far away.
15:12There is a turning point where Tokaido and Iseji are separated.
15:16I want to go there.
15:19It's Sansaro, isn't it?
15:21It's nice.
15:23You can feel the charm of Iseji here.
15:27Let's go there.
15:28I want to go there.
15:29Will Sansaro appear suddenly?
15:33Let's go there.
15:37Let's go to the turning point of Tokaido and Iseji.
15:40It's another 75 kilometers to Isejin-gu.
15:45What is the charm of Iseji in Sansaro?
15:52Good morning.
15:54Good morning.
15:55Good morning.
15:57The students are wearing dark colors.
16:01That's right.
16:03What?
16:06Is that the turning point?
16:07That's right.
16:08Did you notice it?
16:11There is a tower over there.
16:13Yes.
16:14The place where the tower is is the turning point.
16:20Sansaro.
16:22I like this turning point.
16:27The right is Tokaido.
16:29This is Tokaido.
16:30This is Iseji.
16:31Yes.
16:35I see.
16:37Is this the turning point of Tokaido and Iseji?
16:41It has a good atmosphere.
16:46This is the post office of Yokkaichi Post Office.
16:50It's nice.
16:51Did you notice it?
16:52It's a post office.
16:55The intersection is also a post office.
16:57That's right.
16:59It's a crossroad.
17:00That's right.
17:06It's here.
17:07Yes.
17:09Let's explore the charm of Iseji in a place with a torii.
17:19There are many flags.
17:20That's right.
17:21There are many flags.
17:27The torii was built here around the middle of the Edo period.
17:33Let's see what it was like in the Edo period.
17:38This is a guidebook of Ise-mairi published in the middle of the Edo period.
17:45This is a guidebook of Ise-mairi published in the middle of the Edo period.
17:48The shops were lined up and it was lively.
17:51I think it was a lively place.
17:56Is this the torii?
17:58Yes, it is.
18:00If you go through this torii, you will reach Iseji.
18:03This is Iseji.
18:04Yes.
18:05The torii is built there.
18:09That's right.
18:10It's a crossroad.
18:14What kind of people were the people who went to Tokaido?
18:23The people who went to Tokaido were people who went to Kyoko and Osaka.
18:30That's right.
18:31That means there were tourists, but there were also many businesses.
18:39That's right.
18:40This area was full of tourists.
18:44As you said, the people who went to Kyoko and Osaka were samurai and merchants.
18:50There were many people who went to work.
18:54They walked together from Kuwana and they parted here.
18:57They parted here.
18:58Yes, they parted here.
19:01When are you going to Ise?
19:03I'm going to Tokaido.
19:04Tokaido?
19:05You don't have a job.
19:06I'm a tourist.
19:07It's like that.
19:08That's right.
19:09They parted here.
19:11It's fun to go through the torii.
19:14People who go to Ise are on the side.
19:17They have to go to work from now on.
19:23That's right.
19:24It's a crossroad.
19:25Yes.
19:26Please pay attention to this.
19:30It's in the back.
19:32Can you see something?
19:34Is it water?
19:35Yes.
19:36Is it spring water?
19:37Yes, it is.
19:39It wasn't spring water in the past.
19:41Now, it's a beautiful spring water.
19:45It's a point where people in the neighborhood come to drink water.
19:50Wasn't it in the past?
19:52It was in Chosuba.
19:53Temizuba has been around since the Edo period.
19:57When you go to a shrine, you clean your hands and mouth.
20:03I see.
20:05This is the torii.
20:07Why did you have to clean your hands and mouth in such a far place from Ise Shrine?
20:14Because it's deep.
20:18Actually, Temizuba wasn't for people going to Ise.
20:26I see.
20:27It was for people going to Tokaido.
20:34Did you go to Tokaido because you wanted to pray here?
20:39Yes.
20:40Even if I couldn't go to Ise Shrine, I wanted to at least pray for the shrine.
20:46I see.
20:48So, I made this for those people.
20:52I see.
20:53Temizuba and the torii were set up like this.
20:58I was told that I wanted to worship Ise Shrine from a distance.
21:03I understand how you feel.
21:07Actually, this shrine was donated by the locals.
21:13I see.
21:15So, the locals thought that they couldn't go to Ise Shrine.
21:21So, they decided to set up a torii and pray for the shrine.
21:29It's a good idea to get close to the travelers who visit this turning point.
21:34The charm of Ise Shrine is that you can feel the warmth of the local people.
21:44So, did you understand the charm of Ise Shrine?
21:52Yes, I did.
21:54I want to touch the shrine.
21:58Good morning.
21:59Good morning.
22:02I'm sorry.
22:04Is the water good?
22:05Yes, the water is good.
22:08It's been good for about 20 years.
22:10Do you use this water to cook rice?
22:13Yes, I use it to cook rice.
22:16I also use this water to make coffee.
22:20You make coffee?
22:22I also use it to make whiskey and soju.
22:25I see.
22:27This water is quite famous.
22:29This water is the color of soju.
22:32I drink four liters of this water.
22:36You drink a lot.
22:38Thanks to this water, I don't get tired easily.
22:44Where are you from?
22:46I'm from Tokyo.
22:47You're from Tokyo.
22:48A lot of people come from Tokyo.
22:50Really?
22:51This is a famous place called Oyake-no-Tori.
22:55Is it famous?
22:57If you go to Ise Shrine, there is a branch store in Kyoto.
23:00It's a branch store.
23:03Thank you very much.
23:06Thank you very much.
23:11Even now, local people come here to get water on a regular basis.
23:17I don't know these people.
23:20I don't know them at all.
23:22Are you okay?
23:23I'm fine.
23:28Let's take a look at the branch store in the Edo period.
23:32Ise Shrine
23:47There are still many attractions of Ise Shrine.
23:51Are there?
23:53Let's go further from here.
23:56Let's go to the first branch store.
24:00Let's go.
24:03Let's go through this and go to Ise Shrine.
24:05Let's go to Ise Shrine.
24:08Next, we went to Shukuba Town, which is 65 kilometers away from Ise Shrine.
24:13What kind of attractions of Ise Shrine can we find there?
24:19First, let's look for traces of the Edo period.
24:23We're at the entrance of Shukuba Town.
24:28I don't see any traces of the Edo period.
24:32Have you noticed anything?
24:34There is a small place.
24:36It's a stone wall.
24:37That's right.
24:39It's a stone wall.
24:40It's a stone wall.
24:41It's a stone wall.
24:44That's right.
24:45Only this high part continues.
24:50What is written here?
24:55This is a sign of Kanbei.
24:59That's right.
25:00This is a sign of Kanbei Shukuba Town.
25:05It's a place for guards.
25:07This is the entrance.
25:08That's right.
25:10There was a guard here.
25:12That's right.
25:15Is this stone wall still there?
25:18That's right.
25:22Hello.
25:23Hello.
25:24Hello.
25:25I'm Misato Daita.
25:27Misato Daita.
25:29She walks around Ise Shrine and explores the history of this area.
25:35I've never heard that Shukuba Town has traces of the Edo period.
25:42Look at this.
25:45This is where we are now.
25:49In the old days, a road was built here.
25:53The road was closed.
25:56In fact, the traces of the road still remain on the stone wall.
26:02Can you find it for me?
26:05Where do you think it was built?
26:08Around this angle.
26:12I think I know where it is.
26:14Where is it?
26:15Isn't it here?
26:17That's right.
26:18That's right.
26:19Is this it?
26:20Yes.
26:21It's here.
26:22It's up there, too.
26:24It's over there.
26:25That's right.
26:26It's just over there.
26:28If you go down, you can see it.
26:34It's a big road.
26:36That's right.
26:39I don't know if it's all closed.
26:44I don't know if it's all closed.
26:46Really?
26:47I don't know if it's all closed.
26:49I think it was a big road.
26:52This road was closed when the sun went down.
26:56When the sun went up, it was opened.
27:00There was a gate at Shukuba Town.
27:03That's right.
27:04What do you think will happen to travelers who didn't make it to the gate?
27:10They will cry.
27:12That's right.
27:13They will hit the road.
27:15The people around Oise often take a five-seater car.
27:18Do they take a five-seater car?
27:20I think there are some people who don't take a five-seater car.
27:23I think there are some people who don't take a five-seater car.
27:30It must have been hard.
27:32If you don't make it in time...
27:35Let's take a look at the entrance to Shukuba Town in the Edo period.
27:46Shukuba Town
27:54Do you know why the road was opened here?
27:58I don't think it's necessary to be so serious.
28:01I think so.
28:02If it's a normal road.
28:04It's going up to the high ground.
28:10There is something on the ground.
28:15Is there a castle ahead?
28:18That's right.
28:19There was a castle.
28:21I'd like you to look at this.
28:23It's a picture of the Kanbe Castle.
28:26There was a Kanbe Castle?
28:27Yes, there was a Kanbe Castle here.
28:33I see.
28:36The road was built to protect Shukuba Town.
28:41Let's go downtown.
28:46It's a hotel.
28:47That's right.
28:50I like this Sanzaro.
28:52It's nice to have a lot of Sanzaros today.
28:57You can see the charm of Iseji here.
29:01But that's all for today.
29:05Next time, we're going to Iseji.
29:07See you then.
29:36Bratamori is aiming for Ise Jingu.
29:39I like Sanzaro's house.
29:44Next time, we're going to Suzuka Circuit.
29:47Look forward to it.
