00:01Yes, from here on, it's a good recommendation
00:04Today's theme is
00:06A historical romance in Odawara, beloved by Yoshiko Mibuchi
00:10Odawara in Kanagawa Prefecture is where you can enjoy Mekist gourmet food.
00:14I was able to hear some valuable stories from the granddaughter of Yoshiko Mibuchi, who was the model for that morning drama.
00:20It's very beautiful
00:24A spectacular view interwoven with nature and culture
00:27From the Sengoku period to the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods
00:33A stroll through the history and romance of the Ryukyu Islands in Odawara
00:37And the place associated with Yoshiko Mibuchi, the model for the heroine of the morning drama
00:44The skin that the kids put on is called Nagatora Mama.
00:50I remember we went hiking together quite a bit.
00:55He was the type to cut through the crowd.
00:57Along with many precious photographs
01:00Yoshiko Mibuchi's grandson shares some unknown stories
01:05Spots you can visit on a day trip from Tokyo
01:10Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
01:12Announcer Sato was walking around the city
01:16I quickly found a charming building.
01:19There was an amazing building. I wonder how many years ago it was built.
01:25This is actually a long-established Japanese restaurant, founded in 1893. The building was damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake, but was rebuilt in 1926 and is now a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. The building is called Karahaf-iri Moya-zukuri, and was used in the mansions of aristocrats and samurai.
01:47Wow, it's amazing. Take a look. The upper part is also very detailed. I'm curious, so let's go in right away.
01:56How many years has the store been in business?
01:57It's 131 years.
02:00Eh, that long ago?
02:02The taste and the restaurant have remained the same for a long time.
02:05In this historic building, we decided to try the signature menu item that has remained unchanged since the restaurant opened.
02:11The tea will be served as a tempura bowl.
02:13Tendon?
02:15I'm coming, I'm coming.
02:17Wow, that's amazing.
02:20Looks delicious.
02:21Looks delicious.
02:28Looks delicious.
02:32This one is crispy and the shrimp inside is plump.
02:37The sauce is just as tasty as the shrimp.
02:42That's to be expected.
02:44Fresh shrimp and squid purchased at the market in Odawara.
02:49They fry vegetables purchased that day.
02:52moreover.
02:53This oil is made exclusively for Daruma and is kept secret.
02:58Does that mean it's special?
02:59I agree.
03:01The tempura is fried in sesame oil specially made for Daruma and kept secret.
03:06It has a strong aroma and a chewy texture.
03:09Finally, it is dipped generously in a secret sauce that has been added to over 130 years.
03:18Shrimp, batter, rice.
03:21amazing.
03:22That's amazing, isn't it?
03:25Next, we head to a spot where you can travel back in time to the Sengoku period.
03:30Speaking of Odawara, I came here because of Odawara Castle.
03:35We have arrived.
03:37Odawara Castle takes advantage of its geography, surrounded by mountains and the sea.
03:43In fact, during the Sengoku period, it was said to be impregnable and the strongest castle in the Kanto region.
03:51During the Sengoku period, it was a huge castle of the Hojo clan.
03:54It is said to have withstood attacks by Takeda Shingen, whose name is associated with the castle, and Uesugi Kenshin.
04:02There were many secrets hidden within the castle.
04:07There are triangular and square holes in the wall.
04:12They attacked their enemies with bows and arrows from the rectangle and guns from the triangle.
04:19moreover.
04:21It suddenly turns.
04:23I think this is killing the momentum.
04:25The gate in Ninomaru is a grid-shaped structure surrounded by two gates and an earthen wall, so that invading enemies could not advance straight ahead.
04:35Odawara Castle was also strong on the Dojo Line.
04:40One of the reasons is the large-scale enclosure built with moats and other structures that stretches a total distance of 9km.
04:47It's quite spacious, isn't it?
04:49Is this the strength of the castle, which is said to be difficult and treacherous?
04:53Yes, it's a real problem.
04:56Inside this vast Odawara Castle, there were certain provisions for the Naomasa Rozobune.
05:03What on earth is that?
05:06Preparation.
05:07The tip is about food.
05:09food.
05:10Rice is too obvious, so I'll go with potato.
05:13Potatoes, potatoes.
05:16The answer is fields.
05:19The upper bailey was equipped with fields and farmland, allowing them to secure food for a long period of time.
05:25However, even the strongest castle in Kanto came to its fate.
05:30In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized an army of 210,000.
05:36The castle fell because the lords used Ishigamiyama Castle, which they had built in three months, as their base.
05:42The Hojo clan was destroyed.
05:47The rebuilt Odawara Castle is now a popular spot.
05:52Okay, I bought it. I'm a passenger.
05:58Gojo-in is designed with the castle name and the castle lord's family crest.
06:04New Year's designs are also on sale from today.
06:08Odawara is also home to the model for the heroine of the morning drama, who lived through the turbulent Taisho and Showa periods, and places associated with her.
06:16It's a calm place.
06:19This building, which Mibuchi Yoshiko used as her vacation home, is filled with nostalgic Showa-era charm.
06:41That's the entrance, but it's a passageway and the next log is buried in this floor, which is really cute.
06:52This is the tea room. The tea room is designed so that the light from the ceiling is reflected in round, dimpled shapes, and although it is simple, there are little playful touches like this in key places.
07:10Yoshiko Mibuchi graduated from the Faculty of Law at Meiji University and became Japan's first female lawyer in 1940. In 1956, she married Kentaro Mibuchi, a research officer at the Supreme Court.
07:26It seems that Kankanso has been preserved exactly as it was back then, and is the only remaining document of Mibuchi-san. So does that mean that documents from that time are still around today? That's right, so there must be some very valuable books there, said a person who spent precious time with Mibuchi Yoshiko in an interview.
07:54It's an old house, but it's a nice, relaxing place.
07:58His grandson, Tadashi Yagishita, is 67 years old. There are also some episodes related to the morning drama.
08:06I think she was a very cheerful person. She talks a lot, her laugh is really cheerful and comes from her heart, and she's so energetic that her children nicknamed her "Tiger Mom," probably because she was born in the year of the tiger.
08:24He was called "Tiger Child," which is also the title of the drama. I remember going hiking with him quite a bit. He was the type of person who could walk ahead of his predecessors.
08:39Photos of memories with Yoshiko Mibuchi owned by Yagishita. Yoshiko Mibuchi's smile as she gently touches the young Yagishita. She served as the narrator at the wedding. These photos are truly precious memories.
09:09Even now, the Kankan layer bears the fruit of the Mibuchi tangerine tree. Yoshiko Mibuchi and her husband Kentaro are resting peacefully in a nearby temple.
09:32It is said that Mibuchi spent his final years in the Kankan-style room of this villa. This Kankan-style room is built in the style known as Sukiya-zukuri, which incorporates techniques from teahouse architecture, and the current room is eight tatami mats in size. There are no flashy decorations, and it has a very simple atmosphere.
09:52The bookshelf that was extinguished in the video is packed with law books. It's closed at the end of the year and reopens on January 10th. Please note that it's open every Friday and Sunday from 11am to 2pm. That's all for today's good choice.
