Short filmTranscript
00:04Japan.
00:05Michael, welcome to Japan, a railway paradise.
00:08Its huge population spread over Long Islands lives by its railways.
00:13I feel like I'm driving.
00:14My new adventure takes me through the land that launched the high-speed train.
00:19I love Shinkansen.
00:21Where millions of journeys are made each day through some of the most bustling stations on earth.
00:27Busy city.
00:28I'll ride Japan's vast railway network to uncover a land of bold innovation.
00:35Haven't quite got the hang of it yet.
00:37A place of enduring traditions, volatile geology and remarkable people.
00:44Kanpai.
00:45Join me on an excursion like no other.
00:48I'm too excited to sit down.
01:07I'm travelling by rail across Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's main islands.
01:19To continue my journey, I've returned to Kagoshima Chuo Station, the southern terminus of the island's high-speed rail network.
01:34It's always exciting to see a Shinkansen, that long jet star nose designed to break up the wall of air
01:42as it zooms into a tunnel.
01:47I'll be travelling on a bullet train, the icon of the Japanese railway, to explore Kyushu's fascinating history.
02:01Kyushu makes up about a tenth of Japan's land mass, and the population is around a tenth as well.
02:08I began in the south, at Kagoshima, and I'm now exploring the western side of the island, whose character has
02:15long been influenced by its location, which exposes it to Asia and Europe.
02:21I'll then travel via the western tip of Honshu Island to end at Hiroshima.
02:31The revered position of Emperor of Japan has existed for many centuries.
02:38But across history, from time to time, it has been largely symbolic, with true political power exercised by others.
02:45On this part of my journey, I will look at the regime of those military rulers known as the Shoguns,
02:53who isolated Japan from the outside world for two and a half centuries.
02:58And at how, at the end of that period, with a change of government, Japan reopened and embraced technology from
03:06abroad.
03:10There are many models of Shinkansen, or bullet train, and on this journey, an N700 series zooms from Kagoshima up
03:19the west coast.
03:29We'll be stopping at all stations before arriving at Kumamoto.
03:34Japan's high-speed trains, the Shinkansen, have been operating since 1964, when lines were opened into Tokyo.
03:44But it is a truly national project, and now there are about 3,000 kilometres of line.
03:53Some of the 21st century additions included the line down to the most southerly station at Kagoshima.
04:00And it was a very difficult project. It runs through the mountains, and nearly all of it is in tunnel.
04:06Only very occasionally does the train stick its long nose into the daylight.
04:11And for that reason, the line has been nicknamed the Mole.
04:31My journey north takes just 25 minutes, a speedy trip to a destination noted for its slower pace of life.
04:40The exit will be on the next side of the train.
04:45Passengers going to the Hisatsu Orange Railway.
04:48Please change trains here at Izumi.
05:01I'm alighting at Izumi Station.
05:04The architecture and decoration draw inspiration from the region's fame as being the winter home for over 10,000 cranes.
05:13They migrate here each year, largely from Siberia.
05:19It's also the boarding point for boats to the Amakusa Islands, which sit off the western coast of Kyushu.
05:37They're made up of two large and many small islands.
05:42Celebrated for their lavish greenery and fascinating geology, they're designated a geopark in recognition of their natural beauty, local communities
05:52and cultural heritage.
05:58I'm visiting Shimoshima, the largest island in the Amakusa archipelago.
06:10Hello!
06:12Hello!
06:14What a wonderful welcome!
06:19Hello!
06:20Hello!
06:23What a wonderful welcome!
06:24Ladies, thank you for your welcome! Hello!
06:27Hello!
06:28Oh, such beautiful costumes!
06:31Same colour!
06:33Hello!
06:39They're spectacularly dressed to perform a traditional Amakusa Island dance called the Ushibuka Haiya.
06:46The women wish the fishermen, their husbands, lovers and sons, a safe return.
06:54Lovely, cheerful music.
06:58The gestures, I think, replicate movements on the boat.
07:03Hauling nets, rowing, pulling ropes.
07:09Oh, haul those ropes!
07:12Haul those ropes!
07:13Haul those ropes!
07:14Haul those ropes!
07:15Haul those ropes!
07:16Haul those ropes!
07:17Haul those ropes!
07:18It's so compelling that I can't resist joining in.
07:38Oh!
07:41Thank you!
07:47Situated on the outer edge of the Japanese archipelago,
07:51these islands were often the first port of call for foreign ships
07:55and the gateway through which new ideas and influences entered Japan.
08:00That included Christianity.
08:03Today, around 2% of the Japanese population,
08:05roughly 3 million people, identify as Christian.
08:10Christianity arrived on these shores with Portuguese missionaries in 1549
08:16and hundreds of thousands were converted.
08:21And the contagion that it represented was one of the reasons
08:25why the shoguns, the military rulers of Japan,
08:29excluded foreigners and banned foreign travel.
08:33Amazingly, in this remote place, Christianity survived in secret.
08:39To rise again when the prohibition was lifted.
08:55To hear about the island's Roman Catholic heritage
08:58and the group known as Hidden Christians,
09:01I'm meeting Saki Urakami, an Amakusa Island resident and guide.
09:07This is such a beautiful restaurant.
09:10The setting is amazing, on the water with the greenery beyond.
09:13Yeah, there is.
09:14This place is very interesting because of the history of Christianity.
09:20Why do you think the shoguns banned Christianity?
09:22I think there are several reasons, but one of them, like the shogun,
09:29he was the top of the society at the moment.
09:33But under the Christianity, everyone is equal.
09:38And so the shogun realised that Christianity was a threat for his administration.
09:45And the Christians who remained here during the ban,
09:50how did they behave?
09:54And of course, people called the hidden Christians,
09:58people disguised themselves as Buddhist or Shinto believers.
10:05They attended the Shinto festival and they visited the Buddhist temple.
10:18Thank you. Beautiful.
10:21This is spectacular, isn't it?
10:31Well done, chef.
10:34During the time of the ban on Christians,
10:37did the other people, the Shintos and the Buddhists,
10:40sometimes inform against Catholics, to the authorities, to the shoguns?
10:45The government ordered to, you know, inform if they found some Christians.
10:53But here, never happened.
10:56Nobody did. Why is that?
10:58Because this Saketsu village, a fishing village,
11:01so once you go out of the sea,
11:03you need to support your fellow fishermen.
11:09There's no time to care about the differences in the religions.
11:15Because people have to trust each other for their lives.
11:18Tell me about the island today.
11:21There are three religions called Ecosist Catholic Church
11:25and Shinto Shrine and Buddhist temples.
11:30Well, quite happily living with each other.
11:33Yes, of course.
11:41There are several hundred Christians on these islands today.
11:45One is Mr. Yamashita, a fisherman.
11:50Yamashita-san.
11:52Hi, hi.
11:53I'm Michael.
11:55How many generations of your family have lived in Saketsu?
11:59Were they fishermen too?
12:04And is it dangerous?
12:11In your boat?
12:16I'd love to see it, please.
12:18Oh, that's very beautiful.
12:22How old is this, do you think?
12:24There was 20 years before Somers hatte.
12:27On the side of the island...
12:38I was just a sail tip.
12:40logically coming at another island.
12:42I was presumed .
12:42I was waiting to do that for天 started riding.
12:46The ratios are supposed to be here so many here.
12:51But the boys of us were working on us.
12:53The injured turned upside down.
12:53The mikä was just like the last soldier and she took up being on the 16th has put.
12:58To me, it's amazing to find such Catholic face in Japan.
13:04That's a surprise to me.
13:07Would it be possible to come aboard and have a spin on your boat?
13:24Here is history in a postcard.
13:27These beautiful traditional Japanese houses with their distinctive roofs and tiles.
13:33And there, a church spire that could be from England with the cross above.
13:40The tiny harbour village of Sakitsu is an important centre of Christianity.
13:47Worshippers attend what's nicknamed the Church on the Sea.
13:50It's Roman Catholic, built in 1934.
14:00This is a pretty church.
14:02And a pretty good size too.
14:05And it wouldn't look out of place in Europe or South America.
14:10It has all these Gothic touches, pointy arches and things like that.
14:15But one thing that makes it very Japanese
14:17is that I had to remove my shoes as I came in.
14:21And here on the floor, there are tatami mats.
14:35To continue my journey, I've returned to Kyushu Island to take a train from Misumi.
14:43What a beautiful station with a steeple and a cross on the exterior
14:47and beautiful Japanese modernity inside.
14:54From here, I'm picking up a regional train.
15:00A lovely narrow-gauge, one-person operated diesel.
15:08It's a 50-minute journey up the western coast of Kyushu.
15:11And with such large windows, there are glorious views.
15:15A great coastal railway journey.
15:26My next destination will be the city of Kumamoto.
15:32As the Shinkansen was extended southwards,
15:36services began to run into Kumamoto on the 12th of March, 2010.
15:41The city used the opportunity to promote itself
15:45and invented a new mascot called Kumamon.
15:48He's a wide-eyed creature with a cuddly belly.
15:51The Japanese love of the cute is known as kawaii.
15:57But it goes beyond innocence and sweetness.
16:01It ventures into the quirky, the rebellious, even the mildly erotic.
16:07It seeps into fashion.
16:09It affects neighbouring countries.
16:11A valuable and persuasive source of Japanese influence.
16:20I've come to Kumamoto to see its world-famous castle.
16:24But before that, I hope to glimpse
16:26its most celebrated, emblematic creature.
16:35Kumamon!
16:37How lovely to see you!
16:39Wow!
16:40What an honour!
16:42Kumamon has achieved celebrity status in Japan.
16:46Why are you so famous?
16:49Oh, for your dancing!
16:57Do you know the way to the castle?
17:00Yes!
17:02Let's go!
17:16...
17:22Sayonara!обр
17:34reading... Kumamoto
17:36is Kyushu's third-largest city, with around
17:39750,000 inhabitants.
17:41It's also steeped in history, with one of Japan's best known and most significant castles.
17:49In 2016, a massive earthquake caused terrible damage to the city and the fortification.
17:56Restoration work costing around £320 million is still underway, hence the hard hat.
18:04In 1853 and 1854, United States naval expeditions under the command of Commodore Perry
18:11threatened Japan with violence and forced it to open itself to world trade.
18:17Forces within Japan, notably the samurai Saigo Takamori from Satsuma, toppled the shogun government
18:26in what was known as the Meiji Restoration, Meiji being the name of the emperor.
18:32The new administration abolished feudalism and began to modernise Japan.
18:39America's gunboat diplomacy set in motion the dramatic regime change,
18:43which is seen as the birth of modern Japan.
18:46To hear about that turning point and the celebrated figure of Saigo Takamori,
18:51the inspiration for the hero of the Hollywood film The Last Samurai,
18:56I'm meeting Professor of History Izumi Haraguchi.
19:01I'd love to hear about this great personality, Saigo.
19:06Saigo Takamori was born and bred in Kagoshima castle town.
19:12He came from lower samurai class but he was very respected among young samurai
19:21and wise lord Shimazu Nari Akira selected him as secretary.
19:29He recommended to learn about the parliamentary system and constitution and educational reforms.
19:41He was a great moderniser.
19:43Yes, he was a moderniser.
19:45He opened railway age.
19:49He first objected railway construction initially because it cost too much money.
20:02But eventually he approved railway construction and you can come to Kyushu by railway now.
20:13Indeed, indeed.
20:16Despite being a key figure in the new modernising government,
20:20the rapid pace of reform, which included the abolition of the samurai class, proved too much for Saigo.
20:26He resigned his post, rallied an army of samurai from Satsuma,
20:32and rose against the government in what is now called the Satsuma Rebellion.
20:37In one of its defining moments, he placed Kumamoto castle,
20:41the principal stronghold of government forces, under siege for 52 days.
20:46And this castle was very, very strong, very well prepared for siege.
20:53Yes, it's hard to climb up.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Even for ninjas.
21:00He was defeated.
21:01After the battle, Saigo dies.
21:04Yes, he died for himself.
21:07He killed himself?
21:08Soldiers cut off his head.
21:11On his command, on his wishes?
21:13Yes.
21:14How do you feel about Saigo?
21:16I love Saigo.
21:17You love Saigo?
21:18Yes, of course.
21:19He was a man of strong justice and loyalty and courage.
21:26A great hero, a charismatic figure.
21:29Yes.
21:30And a timeless figure.
21:40I return to Kumamoto station to take a train heading north.
21:47My next stop will be the station of Shimomuta,
21:50a journey of 17 minutes on the high-speed line.
21:57On the dot, as always.
22:00I'm on a Shinkansen 800 series introduced to this line in 2004.
22:07I'm bound for a place with important links to the region's samurai heritage.
22:15Japan's samurai warrior class became famous all over the world
22:19for its stoicism and also for its very demanding code of conduct.
22:23A samurai warrior would prefer death to defeat or to surrender
22:27and he would use his sharp blade to commit harikiri to disembowel himself.
22:32One of the first reforms after the removal of the shoguns
22:35was to abolish the samurai.
22:37And you might expect that with that, the art of making the sword,
22:41the katana, would also disappear, but not so.
22:44There are still a few craftsmen today working to the same high standards
22:49that were demanded by the samurai for whom they once worked.
22:55My Shinkansen has brought me to Shinomuta Station, which opened in 2011.
23:07It's the closest Shinkansen Station to Arao, an old mining centre located on the coast.
23:15I'm seeking out a master of Japan's centuries-old craft of sword making.
23:21The forge.
23:25Matsunaga sensei.
23:28Hello.
23:29Can I come down?
23:32OK.
23:34Matsunaga Genrakuru has been crafting blades for over 40 years.
23:39They are recognised as works of art and cultural artefacts.
23:43Their manufacture is strictly regulated.
23:46Master, how many swords do you make?
23:56How long does it take you, master, to make a sword?
23:59Yes.
24:02My work is for two weeks.
24:05And then, I'll make it for three months or four months.
24:12It will be a long time for half a year.
24:17Yes.
24:17Your craftsmanship is a piece of the whole jigsaw.
24:22And where do you find the material for this?
24:24Ah, this is where it's, in there.
24:28There's a steel wood.
24:29The steel wood is that's in there.
24:31This is the material.
24:33Yeah?
24:33Yeah.
24:34Tama-hagane.
24:35This is Tama-hagane.
24:39Once the iron sand is worked into a big block of Tama-hagane,
24:43pieces are cut from it, and stacked, ready to be fired together.
24:52This is a paper.
24:54Paper?
24:57I would never have guessed it would be wrapped in paper.
25:05Yes.
25:12The block is reheated,
25:14then hammered with a force of 200 kilograms.
25:23It's then folded over, reheated,
25:25hammered and folded again more than ten times.
25:29Only then is it stretched to the length of the sword.
25:36Matsunaga Genrokuru has made over a thousand in his lifetime
25:40and has a collection of old samurai armour and weapons.
25:45Oh!
25:47300-year-old sword.
25:49Oh, and here comes the blade.
25:51My goodness, the blade on these swords.
25:57That's the license.
25:58Oh, my goodness, I'm holding the sword.
26:01Look at that edge.
26:04Oh, my goodness.
26:05It's quite a strange feeling to hold something that's quite so beautiful
26:10and quite so dangerous.
26:12Mm.
26:13Right, thank you.
26:14May we put it away?
26:16There we go, master.
26:18Extraordinary to believe that that black iron that I saw before
26:22creates this beautiful, perfect cutting steel.
26:27Next to the forge is a dojo,
26:30a room where Matsunaga Genrokuru teaches students the art of samurai swordsmanship,
26:36which includes tamishigiri,
26:39or cutting practice targeting a rolled tatami mat.
26:57Oh, that blade!
26:59a proper oscillator.
27:00Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:04Oh, yeah.
27:05Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:14Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:16Oh, yeah.
27:17Alarmed by the spread of Christianity,
27:20the shoguns were pretty successful at excluding further foreign influences
27:26and as a result the heritage here is purely Japanese and the culture highly distinctive
27:33such as the rigorous code of conduct of the samurai. One disadvantage of isolationism
27:40was that Japan fell behind the West in military prowess and technology and the rapid transformation
27:48of the country from feudalism to being a global military and industrial power is an amazing
27:56example of Japan's single-mindedness. Next time. For more than two centuries Nagasaki was literally
28:04the only officially open port in Japan. What are the conditions like? Is it hot? The temperature
28:11was over 35 degrees centigrade with 95% humidity, basically like working in a sauna.
28:20So that is a premium tea. How much would you pay for that? Could be priced between like 400
28:25and 500 pounds a kilo.
28:41Let's see.
28:42Let's go.
28:43Oh!
28:43Oh!
28:44Oh!
28:45Ah!
28:49Oh!
28:50Oh!
28:52Ah!
28:53Oh!
28:55Ah!
28:58Oh!
28:59Oh!
