00:00:00BS Television's 25th Anniversary
00:00:06The reason why I live in Japan, the grand opening special!
00:00:19Mr. Katsunori, how is it over there?
00:00:22Mr. Handa, why aren't you coming?
00:00:25It's cold.
00:00:28It started raining all of a sudden.
00:00:32I wonder how today's shooting will go.
00:00:35Actually, I'm in Kitaakita City today.
00:00:39This is my father's hometown.
00:00:43I've lived here since I was a child.
00:00:46I also live in my hometown, Saishi.
00:00:49There are a lot of good places, so I'd like to introduce you to Kitaakita City, which is not often featured.
00:00:57The reason why I live in Japan, the grand opening special!
00:01:02The location is here in Kitaakita City.
00:01:05Who will you meet in the grand opening?
00:01:10There must be someone who lives in Kitaakita City.
00:01:13He devoted his life to the education of children.
00:01:19I think he was only about a year old.
00:01:22What?
00:01:24What?
00:01:26Isn't that him?
00:01:30He's coming from far away.
00:01:34Hello, Mr. Takahashi.
00:01:36Hello.
00:01:37Nice to meet you.
00:01:38Nice to meet you, too.
00:01:40You look great.
00:01:41What?
00:01:42You look great. I'm glad you're here.
00:01:45Your dialect has improved.
00:01:46No, it hasn't.
00:01:49He's Mr. Sean.
00:01:51It's been a while.
00:01:53It's been a while. Nice to meet you.
00:01:56Mr. Sean Corrigan, 38 years old from the United States.
00:02:05I met Mr. Sean seven years ago.
00:02:13He's been living in Kitaakita City since 2010.
00:02:19There's nothing here.
00:02:22There's nothing.
00:02:23I can't see anything.
00:02:25Oh, really?
00:02:27I can't see anything.
00:02:33He's fluent in Akita dialect.
00:02:37I want to be a comedian.
00:02:41I want to be a comedian.
00:02:46Mr. Corrigan worked for the Kitaakita City Education Commission.
00:02:49He taught English to foreigners in elementary and middle school.
00:02:56I don't think it's polite.
00:02:59I'm sorry.
00:03:01I'm sorry.
00:03:03Americans don't say sorry.
00:03:06Your skin is beautiful.
00:03:08It's really beautiful.
00:03:10It's the skin of a snowman.
00:03:12It's suspicious.
00:03:14If you look at it, it looks like you're going to kiss your forehead.
00:03:17It's soft.
00:03:19The studio was also lively.
00:03:22But at home...
00:03:24This is delicious.
00:03:28Is it good?
00:03:32Do you like it?
00:03:35You eat a lot.
00:03:40What do you like?
00:03:44He was a silent and salty husband.
00:03:48It's been seven years since I've seen him again.
00:03:53Mr. Katsunori, isn't there something behind you?
00:03:59I'm a sunny man.
00:04:01What is this?
00:04:03My head freezes when the camera turns.
00:04:06It's a blizzard.
00:04:08What are you doing in such a blizzard?
00:04:12Today, we're going to ride on the Akita Railway.
00:04:17We're going to see Mt. Moriochi.
00:04:21It's amazing.
00:04:23I've never seen it in person.
00:04:25Really?
00:04:28This time, I'm going to take full advantage of the privilege of being the host.
00:04:33I'm going to show you the charm of Akita City, which is the birthplace of me and Mr. Shon.
00:04:44It's going to be a great blizzard.
00:04:48So...
00:04:53This time, we're going to explore the charm of North Akita Prefecture on the Akita Railway.
00:05:05What is this?
00:05:07What is a foreigner who built a mansion in North Akita?
00:05:11It's a mine.
00:05:12A mine?
00:05:14It was a mine.
00:05:16I see.
00:05:18This land used to be the best producer of copper in Japan.
00:05:24Mr. Katsunori Takashi.
00:05:26I was surprised.
00:05:28You're a good man.
00:05:31He's an old man.
00:05:33Are you kidding me?
00:05:34North Akita's Gahaku Jyushoku.
00:05:37And he's aiming for one of the three major reservoirs in Japan.
00:05:41Mr. Moriyoshi.
00:05:43Are you all right?
00:05:44Are you all right, staff?
00:05:45Are you all right?
00:05:46Oh, my God.
00:05:48Oh, my God.
00:05:50I wish the weather was a little nicer.
00:05:52This is the worst.
00:05:54Oh, my God.
00:05:55Is this okay?
00:05:57I can't see anything.
00:06:00A foreigner who loves the roots of Mr. Katsunori, North Akita.
00:06:03He boasts about snow on a snow train.
00:06:10I'm happy.
00:06:11This is a normal view of a snow country.
00:06:16It's like there's no service.
00:06:21It's a normal view of a snow country where people live.
00:06:26Instead, I'll give you a lot of service.
00:06:31What kind of half-life has Mr. Sean been through?
00:06:37His hometown is about 11,000 kilometers away from Japan.
00:06:44Boxford, Massachusetts, USA.
00:06:51The righteous boy is addicted to Japanese with Dragon Ball.
00:07:01He majored in Japanese at the University of Massachusetts.
00:07:06And in 2010, he applied for the JET program, which teaches English in elementary and middle school.
00:07:13He was appointed to North Akita City.
00:07:16Why did you apply to North Akita City?
00:07:19When I applied for the program, for some reason, I ended up in North Akita City.
00:07:24You didn't apply for it.
00:07:26No, I didn't.
00:07:28I'm home.
00:07:35This is my wife and two sons.
00:07:40I'm Spanish.
00:07:42Are you Spanish?
00:07:43I'm Dutch.
00:07:45I'm a man.
00:07:47They happened to get married in North Akita City and were blessed with two children.
00:07:55I want to make North Akita City, which I love, even more exciting.
00:08:00And I've got my precious family.
00:08:06Mr. Sean has been in love with North Akita City for seven years.
00:08:11It seems that his love for North Akita City has deepened.
00:08:15There's someone I'd like to introduce to you.
00:08:18Who is it?
00:08:23I'm looking forward to it.
00:08:25I'm here now.
00:08:26Here it is.
00:08:29What is this?
00:08:31Takanosu Elementary School.
00:08:34It's an elementary school.
00:08:35Elementary school?
00:08:36Do you remember that I had a twin on the show eight years ago?
00:08:42I remember.
00:08:43It was a small school, wasn't it?
00:08:44Yes, it was.
00:08:45I was in the first year of elementary school.
00:08:47Really?
00:08:48This is the elementary school.
00:08:49Is it here?
00:08:50Let's take a look around.
00:08:54I'm looking forward to it.
00:08:56Welcome to Takanosu Elementary School.
00:08:58Good morning.
00:08:59I'm Minato, the principal.
00:09:01I'm Takahashi.
00:09:02Nice to meet you.
00:09:03Nice to meet you.
00:09:07Takanosu Elementary School has 305 students including Shon's twins.
00:09:16I think my father was also in Takanosu Elementary School.
00:09:20Yes, he was.
00:09:21It's a great elementary school.
00:09:24It's my 150th anniversary.
00:09:29Is that so?
00:09:30Yes.
00:09:31So, there are many commemorative events this year.

00:10:03Excuse me.
00:10:05I'm sorry to bother you during class.
00:10:07Do you know Shon?
00:10:09Yes, we do.
00:10:10I'm his father.
00:10:12Hello.
00:10:13Shon's twins, Rui and Taira, are here.
00:10:17Are they here?
00:10:19Yes, they are.
00:10:20Where are they?
00:10:21Who are they?
00:10:22Hello.
00:10:23Hello.
00:10:24Who is Rui and who is Taira?
00:10:26I'm Taira.
00:10:28I'm Rui.
00:10:29You two look alike.
00:10:31I'm Rui.
00:10:33They've grown up so much in 7 years.
00:10:40What kind of father is Shon?
00:10:44He's funny and kind.
00:10:46I see.
00:10:47Thanks.
00:10:48Is he always like this with you?
00:10:50Yes.
00:10:51He's like a friend.
00:10:53What do you want to be in the future?
00:10:58I want to be a YouTuber.
00:11:00YouTuber?
00:11:02I see.
00:11:03Me, too.
00:11:04Me, too.
00:11:05I want to be a YouTuber.
00:11:06Really?
00:11:07Why?
00:11:08You can do it now.
00:11:10No, I can't.
00:11:12You can.
00:11:13No, I can't.
00:11:14Why?
00:11:15Because I'm a kid.
00:11:17You can do it as a kid.
00:11:18There are a lot of interesting places in Kitakyushu.
00:11:22Please give me a lot of advice.
00:11:24I'm not a YouTuber.
00:11:27But I saw it on YouTube.
00:11:29You saw it?
00:11:30It's on YouTube.
00:11:31Do you like Kitakyushu?
00:11:34Yes, I do.
00:11:35Do you like it?
00:11:36Yes, I do.

00:11:46I want to go to Jidou Park.
00:11:49The cherry blossoms are beautiful.
00:11:51Yes.
00:11:55I'm McDonald.
00:12:00I'm not McDonald.
00:12:01I'm in the next seat.
00:12:02You did it!
00:12:03You're the best!
00:12:06Study hard.
00:12:10You've grown up.
00:12:12Yes.
00:12:13I've grown up compared to when I was a kid.
00:12:18You were still cute.
00:12:20Hello.
00:12:21Hello.
00:12:22Hello.
00:12:23Hello.
00:12:25Hello.
00:12:28What's going on?
00:12:30We're here to say hello.
00:12:31You're here to say hello?
00:12:32That's right.
00:12:33Hello.
00:12:34Hello.
00:12:35What's with your hair?
00:12:37How are you?
00:12:38I'm fine.
00:12:39Hello.
00:12:40You're here to say hello?
00:12:41Yes.
00:12:42I thought you were invited to the teacher's office.
00:12:45That's what old men do.
00:12:50See you.
00:12:51See you.
00:12:52Goodbye.
00:12:53Goodbye.
00:12:54Hello.
00:12:55I'd like to introduce another person.
00:12:59Who is it?
00:13:00She's the newest ALT in Kitakita City.
00:13:05I think she's in the middle of her English class.
00:13:09Is she here?
00:13:11Yes.
00:13:12She's here.
00:13:13She's here.
00:13:16She's Jennifer, a second-year student at Kitakita City.
00:13:20Jennifer is from the U.S.
00:13:23Mr. Katsunori, let's talk to her.
00:13:28Hello.
00:13:29I'm sorry to bother you during class.
00:13:34My name is Takahashi Katsunori.
00:13:36I'm the same age as all of you.
00:13:40I'm Jennifer.
00:13:41Nice to meet you.
00:13:42Nice to meet you.
00:13:43I'm Takahashi Katsunori.
00:13:44Nice to meet you.
00:13:46Where are you from?
00:13:49I'm from Florida, U.S.
00:13:55Florida?
00:13:56Yes, Florida.
00:13:57Are you okay in this cold weather?
00:13:58Yes, Florida is a very warm place.
00:14:02Yes, it is.
00:14:03Why are you interested in Japan?
00:14:06When I was in elementary school, I watched the first Godzilla movie with my father.
00:14:14I thought Godzilla was scary and cool.
00:14:19So, you were interested in Godzilla and Japan.
00:14:22Yes, I was.
00:14:25Jennifer is from Northport, Florida, which is in the southeastern part of the U.S.
00:14:33She has a father who runs a pool maintenance company,
00:14:37a mother who is a housewife,
00:14:39and four brothers.
00:14:44The girl who was interested in Godzilla was fascinated by Godzilla's scariness and coolness when she was in the first grade of elementary school.
00:14:55She wanted to go to Japan where Godzilla lived.
00:15:01After graduating from university, she came to Northport as an ALT.
00:15:08How is Jennifer's class?
00:15:12Good.
00:15:17On this day, she announced her memories of elementary school in English.
00:15:23Nice.
00:15:26Show them your presentation.
00:15:28Presentation, please.
00:15:32My best memory is badminton tournament.
00:15:37We went to Yurihonjo.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:42We played doubles match.
00:15:45Okay.
00:15:46It was fun.
00:15:47Yeah, one.
00:15:48Nice.
00:15:50Mr. Takahashi, reaction, please.
00:15:52Oh, that's great.
00:15:53Oh, great.
00:15:54Great.
00:15:55Good job. Thank you.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:57Nice.
00:15:58Do you like badminton?
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Yeah, good.
00:16:01I've been learning English since I was in the third grade of elementary school,
00:16:05so I think I'm used to it.
00:16:07You two are very close teachers.
00:16:11Yes, we are.
00:16:13I think it's good to have no resistance to communication.
00:16:20We're going to Moriuchi Mountain today.
00:16:26Have you been there?
00:16:27No, I haven't.
00:16:29No?
00:16:30No.
00:16:31Would you like to go there after class?
00:16:33May I?
00:16:34Yes.
00:16:35I really want to go.
00:16:36Really?
00:16:37Yes.
00:16:39He's inviting her.
00:16:42Thank you very much.
00:16:43I'm sorry to bother you during class.
00:16:45Thank you very much.
00:16:48Bye.
00:16:49See you.
00:16:50See you.
00:16:51It was a good class.
00:16:56I was so excited when I left the classroom.
00:17:00Give me your autograph.
00:17:04What's up?
00:17:05It was a good class.
00:17:09It was a good elementary school.
00:17:11Thank you very much.
00:17:12The kids were so energetic.
00:17:14Yes, they were.
00:17:15I'm so glad.
00:17:16Thank you very much.
00:17:18Is that Guji?
00:17:19Good morning.
00:17:20Good morning.
00:17:21Why are you here?
00:17:24He's Guji from my family's shrine.
00:17:31Thank you very much.
00:17:33What are you doing now?
00:17:36I just got a call.
00:17:39Where are you going?
00:17:41I'm going to see the kids.
00:17:43I want to go to this festival.
00:17:45There's a big drum in the forest.
00:17:49And people are dancing.
00:17:53People are coming closer to the shrine.
00:17:55It's like Ghibli.
00:17:57It starts at dusk.
00:18:00It's purple.
00:18:02People are coming from the forest.
00:18:08This is the festival.
00:18:11It started 750 years ago.
00:18:14It became a Guinness Book of World Records.
00:18:17People are drumming the big drum at dusk.
00:18:22Let's go to Takanosu Station, the first station of the Akita Shinkansen.
00:18:28Is this the station?
00:18:30Yes, it is.
00:18:31There's a shop I know.
00:18:35It's still morning, but it's still open.
00:18:40Really?
00:18:41It's been open since this morning.
00:18:43It's here.
00:18:44It's here.
00:18:45Look at the title.
00:18:47Yes, we can.
00:18:49The title is Yes, we can.
00:18:51Yes, we can.
00:18:52It's a shop that sells canned food.
00:18:55It's a sloppy shop.
00:18:59What kind of shop is it?
00:19:01It's been a while.
00:19:04It's warm.
00:19:05Excuse me.
00:19:07It's been a while.
00:19:09It's warm.
00:19:10It's been a while.
00:19:11I'm Misawa.
00:19:13I used to be a biker.
00:19:15I used to sell bikes at a bike repair shop.
00:19:18I used to be a biker.
00:19:20You can tell by my face.
00:19:22By the way, what kind of shop is it?
00:19:25What kind of shop?
00:19:28It's a sloppy shop.
00:19:32What can I say?
00:19:33It's a shop like this.
00:19:35It's like half my house.
00:19:37Well...
00:19:40Well...
00:19:42I can't explain it.
00:19:44I can't explain this shop.
00:19:48It was opened 19 years ago.
00:19:50It's a canned bar in your town.
00:19:53As the name suggests, it's a bar that serves canned food.
00:19:59The food is snacks, canned food, and cup noodles.
00:20:06It seems that the feeling of drinking at home outside is popular.
00:20:12The owner, Misawa, used to be a biker.
00:20:16He met Mr. Katsunori because of that.
00:20:21What's good about Kitakyushu?
00:20:23What's good about Kitakyushu?
00:20:24First of all, it's people.
00:20:26I think so.
00:20:28What about people?
00:20:30People in Kitakyushu seem a little scary.
00:20:34No, it's warm.
00:20:36It's very warm.
00:20:38It's hard.
00:20:39My relatives are less than my friends.
00:20:42Everyone is like that.
00:20:43They say,
00:20:44I got vegetables, so please eat them.
00:20:48I got a lot of vegetables from the old lady next to me.
00:20:51Really?
00:20:52Especially this shop.
00:20:55If you come here for the first time...
00:20:56I'm just saying.
00:20:57No, no, no.
00:20:58Don't be depressed.
00:20:59I'm just saying.
00:21:02Even if you come here for the first time...
00:21:03See you again.
00:21:09That was good.
00:21:13Now, here's the real deal.
00:21:16Let's get on the spectacular train that Kitakyushu is proud of.
00:21:21The Akita Inland Subway is a local line that runs 94.2 km from Takanosu Station in Kitakyushu City to Kakunodate Station in Senboku City.
00:21:33The scenery is different from season to season.
00:21:36There are world heritage sites, Matagi Village, Juhyo Island, and many other attractions along the line.
00:21:49What kind of scenery can we see on the Akita Inland Subway in winter?
00:21:56Let's ask Mr. Shon how to enjoy the Akita Inland Subway.
00:22:03We just came from the other side.
00:22:08It's snowing heavily.
00:22:10Shall we get on?
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:15I feel like this.
00:22:16Do I have to push the door by myself?
00:22:18Yes, please.
00:22:19Do I have to push it?
00:22:20Yes.
00:22:21Here you go.
00:22:22Do I have to push it?
00:22:23Yes.
00:22:27Like this.
00:22:28So that cold air doesn't get in.
00:22:29I see.
00:22:33There are Akita dogs.
00:22:34Yes.
00:22:35Dogs.
00:22:37There are many cute dogs.
00:22:38Yes.
00:22:39Dogs.
00:22:40Dogs.
00:22:42There are many cute dogs.
00:22:45They are cute.
00:22:46Dogs.
00:22:51This is my first time.
00:22:54How do you feel?
00:22:55I'm nervous.
00:22:57I should have ridden this when I was a kid.
00:23:00But I don't remember this at all.
00:23:02I see.
00:23:05This car reminds me of the Showa era.
00:23:08Yes.
00:23:10This car has its own taste.
00:23:12Yes, it does.
00:23:14It takes about two and a half hours from Takanosu Station to Kakunodate Station.
00:23:22This time, we will go to Aniai Station, which is close to Moriyoshi Mountain.
00:23:29There are seats.
00:23:30Really?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:32This pattern.
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34It's true.
00:23:35It's true.
00:23:37Actually, there are about 100 Akita dogs.
00:23:42There are about 100 Akita dogs.
00:23:46Can you find them?
00:23:49How many times have you ridden this car?
00:23:52I can't count how many times I've ridden this car.
00:23:54For people like that, it's like killing time.
00:23:58It's their favorite topic.
00:23:59I think it's okay this time.
00:24:01We can't finish it without looking at the scenery.
00:24:03I see.
00:24:04There's something called a junior.
00:24:06On the train?
00:24:07Yes.
00:24:08I see.
00:24:09This is a tatami mat.
00:24:12There's a hallway.
00:24:13You put a tatami mat on the seat?
00:24:15Yes.
00:24:16It's a futon.
00:24:17Can you see how it's laid out?
00:24:21People often tell me that I look like Kumeiji
00:24:24because I live in a place with a lot of snow.
00:24:26No.
00:24:27I like this.
00:24:29I like this.
00:24:38Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
00:24:45Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
00:24:54Remember me to one who lives there
00:25:01She once was a true love of mine
00:25:12Tell her to make me a cabaret show
00:25:17Into the deep forest
00:25:19There's a nice view.
00:25:24This is it.
00:25:25I love this place.
00:25:27Is that so?
00:25:45It's spacious.
00:25:46It feels good.
00:25:48It's nice.
00:25:51It's nice.
00:25:52That's all I can say.
00:25:53That's true.
00:26:05The station looks nice.
00:26:10It's like a movie set.
00:26:14I wonder who they're waiting for.
00:26:18They're waiting for the train.
00:26:22Here it comes.
00:26:23Here it comes.
00:26:24There's another one.
00:26:27We're finally here.
00:26:28Yes.
00:26:31We grew up watching Ken Takakura's movies.
00:26:37So we're used to this view.
00:26:49How long have you been involved in ALT?
00:26:52Me?
00:26:53It's been 9 years since I started this job.
00:26:56I think it'll be my 10th year soon.
00:26:58I see.
00:26:59Why did you want to become a craftsman?
00:27:02I fell in love at first sight when I came to Akita City.
00:27:07Why did you fall in love at first sight?
00:27:09People are kind.
00:27:13It's cold in winter, but people are warm-hearted.
00:27:17I wanted to convey my love for Akita City to ALT.
00:27:24I see.
00:27:25Do you have any plans to open a school?
00:27:28I want to open a school called Akita Refresh School.
00:27:33What's Refresh?
00:27:35It's a school for kids who don't go to school.
00:27:40It's a free school.
00:27:43Sean teaches not only ALT, but also elementary and junior high school students.
00:27:52That's Akita Refresh School.
00:27:55It provides a place to learn and a chance to experience many things in nature for children who can't go to school for various reasons.
00:28:07Sean is trying to support children so that they can go back to school,
00:28:14but he is also trying to raise children who can contribute to society without being impatient.
00:28:23The form of the class is all man-to-man.
00:28:28So, the curriculum is perfect for that child.
00:28:32Not only for me, but also for the teacher of Refresh School.
00:28:35I see.
00:28:38The purpose of Refresh School is not only to teach English, but also to think about the personality of the child.
00:28:44The purpose of Refresh School is for the child to come to Refresh School and go to school again.
00:29:05Refresh School
00:29:24By the way, Mr. Katsunori, are you hungry?
00:29:28Yes, I am.
00:29:30Actually, I bought a lunch box.
00:29:34Would you like to eat it?
00:29:35Yes, I would.
00:29:40There are two kinds of lunch boxes.
00:29:42Is this a horse meat bowl?
00:29:44It's rare to see a horse meat lunch box.
00:30:05Is this a horse meat lunch box?
00:30:07Yes, it is.
00:30:11And this is a lunch box for evacuees.
00:30:16I would like to eat both of them.
00:30:19Wow, this is nostalgic.
00:30:22Wow, this is it.
00:30:24What is that?
00:30:27This is tea.
00:30:28This is tea.
00:30:29Speaking of tea, it looks like this.
00:30:31And when you take off the cap, it becomes a cup.
00:30:42This is nostalgic.
00:30:43I remember I bought this when I was a child.
00:30:45I see.
00:30:46I remember I bought this when I was a child.
00:30:53I see.
00:30:54I remember I came here by train for more than 10 hours.
00:30:59I can't wait to see the lunch box.
00:31:01Me, too.
00:31:03This is my brother's horse meat lunch box.
00:31:05I see.
00:31:06Why is this a horse meat lunch box?
00:31:08Horse meat is also delicious here.
00:31:11Is that so?
00:31:12Ta-da.
00:31:13This is nice.
00:31:15I should have bought that.
00:31:17Would you like to exchange it?
00:31:19I would like to eat both of them.
00:31:25How does it taste?
00:31:27It's delicious.
00:31:29The meat is soft.
00:31:31It's like sukiyaki.
00:31:37How is it?
00:31:39It's not just delicious.
00:31:42It's great to eat while riding a train.
00:31:46I like to listen to old stories while imagining various things.
00:31:55Is there a hot spring in Kitakyushu?
00:31:59There is a hot spring in the next station.
00:32:02In the station?
00:32:03Yes.
00:32:04Is there a hot spring in the station?
00:32:06There is a hot spring facility in the station.
00:32:09I see.
00:32:11You can stay there.
00:32:12In the station?
00:32:13Yes.
00:32:15Is there a hotel?
00:32:17No.
00:32:18There is no hotel, but you can stay there.
00:32:22There is a hot spring.
00:32:24You are particular.
00:32:26Is there a hot spring in the station?
00:32:28You can stay there.
00:32:30Is there a hot spring in the station?
00:32:35Next to the lobby of Animaeda Hot Spring Station,
00:32:39you can see the front of the hotel.
00:32:43You can see the front of the hotel.
00:32:50This is the Animaeda Hot Spring Station.
00:32:53As Mr. Sean said,
00:32:55there is a hotel facility.
00:33:01In 1995, the hot spring was exported.
00:33:05It is said that it is effective against neurasthenia and chronic indigestion,
00:33:09so you can take a day trip.
00:33:15After the hot spring station,
00:33:17the snow is getting heavier.
00:33:22I can't stand it.
00:33:23Can I look at the front?
00:33:24The front?
00:33:25Let's go to the front.
00:33:30Hello, driver.
00:33:33Please don't look away.
00:33:36It's cool.
00:33:46You can drive slowly.
00:33:50You don't have to fly.
00:34:03It's cool.
00:34:07It's great.
00:34:10It's great.
00:34:15It's great.
00:34:17It's great.
00:34:23Thank you very much.
00:34:25Thank you very much.
00:34:26Let's go.
00:34:28Thank you very much.
00:34:31How is the snow?
00:34:34It's cold.
00:34:38It's snowing.
00:34:40It's a little different from Takanosu.
00:34:43That's right.
00:34:45This is...
00:34:51This is...
00:34:53It's snowing.
00:34:55It's snowing.
00:34:59Anichiku is famous for its Matagi village.
00:35:03But there is another reason why it is the most beautiful city in Japan.
00:35:11We're here.
00:35:12We've arrived.
00:35:17How do you like it?
00:35:19It's great.
00:35:22There's another person I'd like to introduce.
00:35:27He may be the first foreigner to come to Akita.
00:35:34Not you?
00:35:35No, no, no.
00:35:37Let's go.
00:35:38I wonder what kind of person he is.
00:35:42What a nice picture.
00:35:44It's like this.
00:35:47It's like a picture in a movie.
00:35:50You're right.
00:35:53This is Moriyoshizan and Anichiku.
00:35:55Here.
00:35:56Shall we go?
00:35:57Let's go.
00:35:58Let's go.
00:35:59Are you sure?
00:36:04It's fluffy.
00:36:11It's perfect for skiing.
00:36:14In Anichiku, there is a traditional culture called Renga.
00:36:20Is that so?
00:36:24Renga?
00:36:25Renga.
00:36:26It's learned from overseas.
00:36:28I see.
00:36:30This is the house where the first foreigner who came to Akita lived.
00:36:37What is this?
00:36:40What is this?
00:36:41What is this?
00:36:42Renga's palace in Matagi village?
00:36:47This is a big tree.
00:36:50This is the house where the first foreigner who came to Akita lived.
00:37:04What is this?
00:37:07What is this?
00:37:09It's a Renga building.
00:37:11Made of Renga?
00:37:12Yes.
00:37:14I made this sign.
00:37:17Is that so?
00:37:20It was built as a residence for five foreign technicians who were dispatched to Anikouzan in Meiji 15.
00:37:29That's good, but please read it in English.
00:37:38Domitari for five foreign engineers.
00:37:42Please read it in English.
00:37:44How long do I have to read it?
00:37:47Anikouzan?
00:37:50Anikouzan was famous in Anikouzan.
00:37:52I see.
00:37:54It was built about 145 years ago.
00:37:57Did a foreigner live here before that?
00:38:01It may sound strange, but he was my senior.
00:38:04I see.
00:38:07First, let's go down.
00:38:09This is a house where a foreigner lived more than 140 years ago.
00:38:13It's called an Ijinkan.
00:38:15What did he come here to do in the Meiji era?
00:38:22Hello.
00:38:23Hello.
00:38:24Nice to meet you. I'm Takahashi.
00:38:26May I come in?
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Excuse me.
00:38:30Excuse me.
00:38:31Is this the Ijinkan?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:35This is the person who used to live here.
00:38:37This person?
00:38:38This is Mr. Mekkyuro.
00:38:40Who is this person?
00:38:43He was the president of the largest university in Germany.
00:38:49He was also the head of the department.
00:38:52In fact, Anichiku was known all over Japan as the city of copper,
00:38:58which was the best in Japan at the time of the Edo period.
00:39:03And in order to modernize the Meiji era,
00:39:07the government called five foreign employees, including Mr. Mekkyuro, to Anidozan.
00:39:16The Ijinkan was built as the residence of the foreign employees.
00:39:22It was built earlier than the Rokumeikan and Nikoraido.
00:39:28I'll give you 500 yen.
00:39:30What?
00:39:31500 yen.
00:39:32What is it?
00:39:33I'll give you 500 yen.
00:39:34500 yen?
00:39:35Yes.
00:39:36It's a little more than 1 billion yen than the current Ijinkan.
00:39:41I'll give you that much money.
00:39:43This person?
00:39:44It's a three-person contract, so it's not very expensive.
00:39:47I'll give you 3,000 yen.
00:39:48Can I go home?
00:39:49Go home.
00:39:52There's a billiard table.
00:39:54Is this something that's been around since then?
00:39:57What is it?
00:39:58There used to be a hole in the billiard table.
00:40:01This isn't from back then.
00:40:04It's made of glass.
00:40:06There's a draft in it.
00:40:09That's true.
00:40:10This is Meiji glass.
00:40:13There was no glass in Japan at the time.
00:40:16It's a red-brown glass.
00:40:18There was a draft in the billiard table, but it was broken and replaced.
00:40:22So this is all that's left?
00:40:24And there's one more.
00:40:28Did a Japanese craftsman make this?
00:40:31Yes.
00:40:32Mr. Mikiro designed it.
00:40:35He asked a Japanese carpenter to make it.
00:40:38And he built it on the meter.
00:40:41So it's not a table.
00:40:43It's rare to see a building made of clay in Japan.
00:40:48Yes.
00:40:49There's a warehouse and everything.
00:40:52I see.
00:40:53We don't use any building materials at all.
00:40:57If we do, it'll get rusty.
00:40:59So we just keep it as it is.
00:41:04I'm sure everyone was surprised when they first saw this yokan.
00:41:10Yes.
00:41:11They were like, what's going on?
00:41:14I was surprised that the video was the most popular in Japan.
00:41:20I heard that copper was the best quality in Japan.
00:41:24Yes.
00:41:25Akita prefecture had a 50% copper ratio.
00:41:29So Akita must have been very rich.
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:34They must have spent a lot of money.
00:41:36I see.
00:41:37Akita must have been rich enough to spend a lot of money.
00:41:41And they had a lot of gold and silver.
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45You should show more of that.
00:41:47That's a lot of tourism resources.
00:41:51Yes.
00:41:52You should show more of that.
00:41:54I'll study more.
00:41:55I'm sorry.
00:41:56I'm serious.
00:41:57I'm glad I came here.
00:42:00Until the copper mine closed down in 1953,
00:42:04workers from all over Japan gathered in Anichiku.
00:42:08The town was full of people.
00:42:12Anichiku was one of the earliest places in Akita to introduce copper.
00:42:20How many times have you been here?
00:42:22I've been here for a year as an ALT.
00:42:26Really?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28That's quite a long time.
00:42:30Anichiku was the first place to have electricity.
00:42:34Really?
00:42:35Yes.
00:42:36As you can see, there are a lot of temples.
00:42:40This is Jodo-shu.
00:42:41Yes.
00:42:43There are a lot of temples.
00:42:44Yes.
00:42:46That's why so many people gathered here.
00:42:48It's great.
00:42:49I feel like I'm in the mountains.
00:42:51It's great.
00:42:52I like this place.
00:42:54I agree.
00:42:55It's black and white.
00:42:57It's the best view.
00:42:58I agree.
00:43:03That's...
00:43:04That's another temple.
00:43:06Can I go there?
00:43:08Let's go.
00:43:09The interesting thing about this temple is that you have to cross a railway.
00:43:13That's dangerous.
00:43:17It's hard to see because of the snow.
00:43:22This is what it looks like when the snow melts.
00:43:25It's right after crossing the railroad.
00:43:28It's also called the railroad temple in Akita.
00:43:33There are so many graves buried in the snow.
00:43:37They are sleeping in the snow.
00:43:39Yes.
00:43:44Sennen-ji.
00:43:46There is a beautiful painting on the ceiling of the temple.
00:43:49It's a painting of a dragon.
00:43:50Really?
00:43:51I want to see it.
00:43:52I can't see it from here.
00:43:53Let's go inside.
00:43:54Let's go.
00:43:56Excuse me.
00:44:03Wow.
00:44:05There is a ceiling.
00:44:06It's true.
00:44:11It's a magnificent temple.
00:44:13Yes.
00:44:17There is a painting of a magnificent dragon on the ceiling.
00:44:28Excuse me.
00:44:30Excuse me.
00:44:32Excuse me.
00:44:37Excuse me.
00:44:38Excuse me.
00:44:39It's been a long time.
00:44:41Excuse me.
00:44:44I was surprised.
00:44:46I was surprised.
00:44:47I'm going to introduce various things today.
00:44:50My father is from Akita.
00:44:52That's right.
00:44:54I'm nervous.
00:44:56You're a good man.
00:44:58You're a good man.
00:44:59I drew this.
00:45:00Is that so?
00:45:01There are various things.
00:45:03Is it a 50-color painting?
00:45:04What?
00:45:05Is it a 50-color painting?
00:45:06No, it's a 10-color painting.
00:45:07Is it a 10-color painting?
00:45:08No, it's a 10-color painting.
00:45:09No, it's a 10-color painting.
00:45:11Is that true?
00:45:12Yes.
00:45:14I've never seen a 50-color painting so much fun.
00:45:18I drew this.
00:45:20Is that so?
00:45:22That's amazing.
00:45:23You're a good man.
00:45:24I'm a good man.
00:45:26I thought it was me.
00:45:28There are various things on display.
00:45:30That's right.
00:45:31Did you draw all of these?
00:45:32That's right.
00:45:33You're a good man.
00:45:34I'm a good man.
00:45:35Why?
00:45:36Did you study painting?
00:45:37No, I didn't.
00:45:38I came to an interesting place.
00:45:39I met an interesting person.
00:45:42Thank you very much.
00:45:43Thank you very much.
00:45:45I'm sorry.
00:45:46I won't serve tea anymore.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:45:49I shouldn't have said that at the beginning.
00:45:50I shouldn't have said that at the beginning.
00:45:52I came to an interesting place.
00:45:53Sennenji.
00:45:54I'm having fun.
00:45:55Sennenji.
00:45:56Maybe...
00:45:57You're from around here.
00:45:58Maybe I'm from around here.
00:45:59Maybe I'm from around here.
00:46:00Maybe.
00:46:02There's a circle.
00:46:05It's fine.
00:46:06It's fine.
00:46:07It's fine.
00:46:08It's fine.
00:46:09Is this okay?
00:46:10Is this okay?

00:46:22I'm sorry.
00:46:23You're a good man.

00:46:29cheese
00:46:31Thank you very much.
00:46:32Thank you very much.
00:46:34Thank you very much.
00:46:36Thank you very much.
00:46:41Thank you very much.
00:46:43Thank you very much.
00:46:47I need to be tacky to men.
00:46:52It's finally...
00:46:53Let's go to Moriyoshizan, the Aniski Castle in the climax of the movie.
00:46:59Now, let's go to Snow Monster, Moriyoshizan's main attraction, which they want to introduce the most.
00:47:08Speaking of which, that person should be waiting for us.
00:47:14So, here he is.
00:47:16Here he is.
00:47:20So cute.
00:47:22It's snowing. It's cold, isn't it?
00:47:25Are you okay? Do you have a hat?
00:47:27Yes, I have a hat.
00:47:28What?
00:47:29I brought a hat.
00:47:31You should wear it.
00:47:33So, let's go to see the view.
00:47:34Let's go.
00:47:35It's your first time, isn't it?
00:47:36Yes, it's my first time.
00:47:37Have you ever been to a ski resort?
00:47:38By the way, hurry up and put on your hat.
00:47:41It's snowing.
00:47:44Excuse me.
00:47:45Yes, it's okay.
00:47:49It's your turn.
00:47:50Yes, it's my turn.
00:47:52You should put on your hat.
00:47:53I'm sorry.
00:47:55It's one of the three major snowfalls in Japan, isn't it?
00:47:58Yes, it is.
00:47:59Do you know what a snowfall is?
00:48:02I know, but I've never heard of it.
00:48:05In English, it's called snow monster.
00:48:08Snow monster?
00:48:09Yes.
00:48:10Star?
00:48:11Monster.
00:48:12Oh, monster.
00:48:13Snow monster.
00:48:14Snow monster?
00:48:15Yes.
00:48:16Oh, look at this.
00:48:18Oh, it's cute.
00:48:20Isn't this the one who bit my scarf eight years ago?
00:48:25Yes, it is.
00:48:28Seven years ago, he was playing with Sean.
00:48:32This is Akita dog.
00:48:34It's my favorite dog.
00:48:35It's my favorite dog.
00:48:36It's my favorite dog.
00:48:39Oh, it's Jin.
00:48:45Oh, it's cute.
00:48:48It's cute.
00:48:50Look at this.
00:48:52How old is it?
00:48:53It's eight years old.
00:48:54Eight years old?
00:48:55Eight years old.
00:48:58It's licking my hand.
00:49:00It's so cute.
00:49:01When we take a picture, it will crouch here.
00:49:05Then it will kiss me.
00:49:10It's so cute.
00:49:12It's so cute.
00:49:15It's like a woman.
00:49:26Is the dog okay?
00:49:27Yes, it's okay.
00:49:28I love dogs.
00:49:29You love dogs?
00:49:30Yes.
00:49:32It's so cute.
00:49:33It's cute, isn't it?
00:49:34I see.
00:49:36That dog is also eight years old.
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:39Then, let's go to the tree.
00:49:41Let's go.
00:49:42Can we see the tree today?
00:49:43Yes, we can.
00:49:44It's blooming.
00:49:45Yes, it is.
00:49:48Let's see the tree.
00:49:49Let's go.
00:49:50We can see the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,200 meters, which is about 20 minutes by gondola.
00:50:00We came from Florida.
00:50:03Why did we come to this place?
00:50:05We were very interested in this place.
00:50:06We forced ourselves to come here.
00:50:08I'd like to dig a little deeper and ask a lot of questions.
00:50:12This is a picture of a slightly unusual denver.
00:50:19Look.
00:50:21I see.
00:50:22This is a picture taken in Florida.
00:50:24Yes, it is.
00:50:25What is it holding?
00:50:26It's a iguana.
00:50:28Iguana?
00:50:29Yes.
00:50:31Do you like reptiles?
00:50:32Yes, I do.
00:50:34Is it your pet?
00:50:35Yes, it's my pet.
00:50:37If you like reptiles, you should go to Amazon.
00:50:40Yes, that's right.
00:50:41I wonder if I should go there.
00:50:42You should go to a warm place.
00:50:45Jennifer Taricone, 26 years old, who likes reptiles, teaches English at an elementary school in Kitakita City.
00:50:55Her hometown is about 12,000 kilometers away from Japan.
00:51:01Northport, Florida, USA, a warm climate.
00:51:09She fell in love with Godzilla when she was a child.
00:51:16In her college thesis, she wrote a Japanese popular culture thesis on Godzilla.
00:51:25Why did Jennifer decide to come to Kitakita?
00:51:32You are a teacher, right?
00:51:34Yes, I am.
00:51:35How did you become a teacher?
00:51:37Foreign language education was my minor.
00:51:41So, you majored in foreign language education.
00:51:48I see.
00:51:49So, you are a teacher.
00:51:51That's great.
00:51:53You are learning more and more.
00:51:55I'm impressed.
00:51:59But you are still a baby.
00:52:01You are still a baby.
00:52:03Please look forward to it.
00:52:07You majored in foreign language education.
00:52:11And you were interested in Japan.
00:52:13So, you decided to go to Japan.
00:52:14Yes, I did.
00:52:15And you became a teacher.
00:52:17Why did you come to Kitakita?
00:52:21Why are you here?
00:52:23I think Florida is boring.
00:52:28Really?
00:52:29It's warm.
00:52:31There are no mountains and snow.
00:52:34So, I think every day is the same.
00:52:38There is no season.
00:52:39I see.
00:52:40There is no season.
00:52:41Yes.
00:52:42What do you think about coming here?
00:52:45Akita is a great place.
00:52:49I love it.
00:52:50You love it?
00:52:51Yes.
00:52:52There are many cultures in Akita, right?
00:52:53Yes.
00:52:54What do you think about Nanahage?
00:52:55I like Nanahage.
00:52:57It's cool.
00:52:58Is it cool?
00:52:59I like Godzilla.
00:53:00I see.
00:53:01Godzilla is cool.
00:53:02I see.
00:53:03I like horror and thriller.
00:53:06I see.
00:53:07I like those.
00:53:08I see.
00:53:09I like Nagoko Inugami.
00:53:11I think it's cool.
00:53:12Is it cool?
00:53:13I cried a lot when I was a child.
00:53:15I see.
00:53:16When I went to my grandparents' house,
00:53:19I saw Nanahage.
00:53:20Did you?
00:53:21I was surprised.
00:53:23It's a big deal.
00:53:24I see.
00:53:25How long will you stay in ALT?
00:53:27I will stay in ALT for 5 years.
00:53:33I want to stay in ALT for 5 years.
00:53:36I see.
00:53:37After that, will you go back to Florida?
00:53:41I don't want to go back.
00:53:45Really?
00:53:46I want to go to Japan.
00:53:48You want to go to Japan.
00:53:50What do you do for a living?
00:53:51You are a teacher.
00:53:53Do you like teachers?
00:53:55I want to be a Japanese teacher.
00:53:58Really?
00:53:59Yes.
00:54:02I'm glad.
00:54:03I'm glad, too.
00:54:04I'm glad.
00:54:05I was surprised.
00:54:07This person is crazy.
00:54:19It's getting colder.
00:54:24It's white.
00:54:26It's snowing.
00:54:34What is this?
00:54:36What is this?
00:54:38Is this a persimmon tree?
00:54:39It's a persimmon tree.
00:54:41Do you grow persimmons?
00:54:52I want to show you the scenery.
00:54:55It's my first time.
00:54:56Please look forward to it.
00:54:58It's cold.
00:54:59Hey.
00:55:06It's snowing.
00:55:07Yes.
00:55:08Where?
00:55:09It's snowing.
00:55:10Yes.
00:55:11The snowboard is for backcountry.
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:17It's a snowboard for powder snow.
00:55:21No.
00:55:23My face hurts from the snow.
00:55:26It hurts.
00:55:31You can wear goggles and a hat.
00:55:34It's cold.
00:55:37Please bear with it for a while.
00:55:39I thought it would be sunny today.
00:55:43Hello.
00:55:44Hello.
00:55:45Good luck.
00:55:47Good luck?
00:55:50Why don't you do your best?
00:55:52I will climb.
00:55:53Do you climb?
00:55:56It's a little more.
00:55:57This is amazing.
00:55:59Look at this.
00:56:00This is very beautiful.
00:56:04It's amazing.
00:56:06How do you feel?
00:56:07This is amazing.
00:56:10I can't see the trees.
00:56:12But it's beautiful.
00:56:14That's right.
00:56:15It's amazing.
00:56:16The biggest one is still up there.
00:56:20Is it okay in this weather?
00:56:23It's an unexpected development.
00:56:26Mr. Handa.
00:56:28What are you going to do?
00:56:30Mr. Hatsunori, good luck.
00:56:32Mr. Handa.
00:56:34Good luck.
00:56:36She won't come here again.
00:56:39I wanted to go.
00:56:43Jennifer, are you okay?
00:56:45I'm okay.
00:56:48This is dangerous.
00:56:49It's very cold.
00:56:50It's cold.
00:56:53It's frozen.
00:56:59Jennifer, how is it?
00:57:00Isn't it cold?
00:57:01It's very cold.
00:57:02It's cold, isn't it?
00:57:03My face hurts a little.
00:57:05What if you wear a hood?
00:57:07Hood?
00:57:08Hood.
00:57:09But the hood is very big.
00:57:12I see.
00:57:13You can't see your face.
00:57:15I see.
00:57:16But it's warm.
00:57:20There is something.
00:57:21Is it a snowboard?
00:57:25Is it a snowboard?
00:57:26What is it?
00:57:27Is it a snowboard with a list?
00:57:29It's a snowboard with a GoPro.
00:57:33Most of them are sleeping.
00:57:35I see.
00:57:42Let's go slowly.
00:57:44You don't have to push yourself.
00:57:47I'm sorry.
00:57:49I didn't know this would happen.
00:57:54I thought it would be easier to watch.
00:58:00I don't want to fall.
00:58:05Oh, no.
00:58:11I wish the weather was better.
00:58:14This is the worst.
00:58:16I'm sorry.
00:58:17It's a success.
00:58:19I can't see anything.
00:58:24Are you okay?
00:58:25Staff, are you okay?
00:58:26Are you okay?
00:58:29Oh, no.
00:58:30Oh, no.
00:58:39Calm down.
00:58:41Calm down.
00:58:42You have to do it little by little.
00:58:44You'll get hurt.
00:58:45Oh, the camera.
00:58:54You know how strict the staff is.
00:58:57Chief D was more concerned about the camera than the staff.
00:59:04I'm sorry.
00:59:05I brought you to a difficult place.
00:59:07This is amazing.
00:59:08My fingers are stiff and it hurts.
00:59:10But climbing is worth it.
00:59:12That's right.
00:59:13It's worth it.
00:59:14Okay.
00:59:17Zenny, are you okay?
00:59:18Yes, I'm okay.
00:59:20From Florida.
00:59:22Oh, no.
00:59:23It's so cold.
00:59:24It's cold.
00:59:25You know what?
00:59:26Yes?
00:59:27You should wear a hood.
00:59:30You have to do that.
00:59:32Your hair is really stiff.
00:59:35I can't see anything.
00:59:36You should wear a hood.
00:59:38Can I?
00:59:39It's definitely warm.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:43I'm sorry.
00:59:44Yes, I'm okay.
00:59:45He's so kind.
00:59:46He's definitely the type of person that Katsunori is.
00:59:49I can't see anything.
00:59:52Should I turn around?
00:59:53Is it okay?
00:59:54This is...
00:59:55Finally...
00:59:59My hands are cold.
01:00:00We're here.
01:00:02We're here.
01:00:05There it is.
01:00:06There it is.
01:00:10There it is.
01:00:11There it is.
01:00:12Amazing.
01:00:17It really looks like a monster.
01:00:21Amazing.
01:00:22You can only see this sign in three places in Japan.
01:00:27Wow, amazing.
01:00:30It really looks like a monster.
01:00:32I know, right?
01:00:34I was surprised.
01:00:35Amazing.
01:00:37I'm wearing a hood.
01:00:40What a waste.
01:00:43Amazing.
01:00:45Unfortunately, we could only see this sign on this day.
01:01:00It looks like snow, right?
01:01:03It's snow, right?
01:01:04Actually, it's not snow. It's ice.
01:01:06Really?
01:01:07Yes.
01:01:08Pure water doesn't freeze even if it's ice.
01:01:11Really?
01:01:12Actually.
01:01:14When it's stimulated, it freezes instantly.
01:01:18Really?
01:01:19It's like a liquid.
01:01:21It hits a tree and freezes.
01:01:23In an instant?
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:25So it spreads sideways.
01:01:29If you look closely, it looks like a shrimp's tail.
01:01:33I can't see it.
01:01:34You can't see it?
01:01:36Which one?
01:01:38Around here.
01:01:39I see.
01:01:40I see.
01:01:41It spreads sideways.
01:01:43I see.
01:01:45And, of course, it's snowing.
01:01:47Yes.
01:01:48We've come this far.
01:01:49Yes.
01:01:50Is this all we can see?
01:01:51No.
01:01:52There's a lot.
01:01:53It's hard to see.
01:01:54It's hard to see.
01:01:55It's hard to see.
01:01:56Yes.
01:01:59Let's take a look.
01:02:01If the weather is good,
01:02:03there are so many wonderful scenery.
01:02:10The snow is melting.
01:02:35How do you feel, Jennifer?
