【島留学できる！？】出会いあふれる、島根の旅〈旅人・ つるの剛士〉
Tsuruno Takeshi’s Shimane Oki Island Journey: An Encounter-Filled Journey Around Nakanoshima’s Gateway Port – A stroll around Ura, the island’s gateway. Amazing ! This is a zero-zero zone. The boat leaves right here. Facing the sea. Wow, it’s amazing. Oh, fishing gear. Oh? Hello here. Isn’t it Tsuruta? Isn’t it Tsuruta? This is the first time I’ve ever been told that. No one abbreviates it like that. Tsuruta Tsuta. Well, I’m Tsuru, but I’m Tsuru. I’m Tsuru no Takeshi. Right? Hello. Hello. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Was this place nice? I’m just here to buy some fish. Oh, oh, isn’t this a fishing tackle shop? They have fishing tackle, but they also sell fish. Oh, is that so? Hello. Welcome. Welcome. They sell fish, right? Right. They’ve mostly focused on specialty fish. Oh, is that so? Wow, but when you think of an island, it’s all about fish, right? Fish, of course. I caught this first thing this morning. Okay, wait a minute. A fishing tackle shop with three stalls in a row. They’ve been in business for about 50 years, and they’re a big hit. Now, they’re an essential local spot. Wow, it’s packed with flavor. [Music] Yes. It’s got a big flavor. This flavor is amazing. They don’t have fillets, either. That’s right. They don’t have fillets. We sell them this way because there’s an image that cutting them up makes them less fresh. We sometimes sell cut fish, but whole fish sells better. Oh, I see. Wow. Of course, you’re fishing. [Music] Yeah, that’s right. Yeah. Hey, what do you guys want to go fishing for? Well, you know, flatfish, and those kinds of fish are called water, but they live off of fishing. So, everyone gets on the boat and goes fishing. Yeah. Yeah, I want to go. Takeshi the fisherman is going. [Music] Yeah, that’s right. You love fishing, don’t you? Yes. And that’s what I’m doing. Yeah. It’s amazing. Angler Takeshi heads out to the perfect spot. What a view. A little outside. Wow, what’s this? I’ve never seen anything this big. Well, just in case, when he transforms like Ultraman, he ‘s 53 meters long. Offshore boat fishing is also fun for solo cruising. And just in front of here is an amazing spot. The fishing is just amazing. While watching this, yes. This area is filled with dried fish, a great spot for fishing. Got it. First up is the captain. Double, double, double. Got it. A double bait. Huh? [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] Nice bluefin tuna, amazing. We also encountered a flock of birds. There are often big fish below here. Shall we hook it now? Wow. Got it. It’s pretty good, isn’t it? Yeah. Maybe it’s good. One more turn. One more turn. Yes. Okay. Congratulations. Thank you. It’s here. Hey. Yes. I got it. First shot. Ah, flat-top. Flat-top. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, there you have it. It’s here. Plenty of fish have come. You can catch all kinds of fish. Ah, it’s raining. Sweet. Oh, yes. High-quality. High-quality. Tendai. Tendai has arrived. High-quality fish. High-quality fish. The joy of being able to fish in front of the cliff at this stage. Wow, it adds up. Okay. Many people in Nishijima belong to the fishing cooperative. The fishing association buys the fish brought in by the members. And they’re good-sized ones too. Thank you. [Music] Now let’s weigh each one . Red base is 6,000 yen. Two blue bases netted 2,000 yen. It’s perfect for a side job, and even though it’s an island, quite a few people have fishing rights . It seems like there are quite a few people who ship their catch, and even some office workers . So, it seems like you love it here like me. Maybe you’ll get used to it if you move here. But the inspection process is pretty cramped. The flatfish I caught can be made into sashimi and enjoyed by everyone. Amazing. Yes. Let’s eat. No, it’s nice. Apparently it was swimming in the ocean just a moment ago. It’s a fish, after all. So, I’ll eat the fish that arrived just now . Hmm. It looks delicious. Let’s eat. It’s crunchy. Oh, it’s delicious. Yeah. Well, it’s a blessing from the island, really. Fishing in the most breathtaking scenery was amazing. [Music] It’s fun to fish, and it’s also fun to ship them and make money . Yeah. Those two things really give me the strength to work hard. That’s it. No, I really think it’s a dream come true. Island life is great. [Music] Actually, more and more people want to live in the Oki Islands, and Tenmachi in particular is attracting young people from all over the country, so I ask about its hot spots. Oh, excuse me. Oh, excuse me. Hello. What’s this? This is a cram school. Oh, it doesn’t look like a cram school. A place for learning. A place for learning. Oh, I see. So it’s a facility or something. This is an efficient cram school for the town’s students. There’s also a study space available to anyone. [Music] Local high school students. Ah, um, Mariga. So, are high school students studying abroad here? Yeah. That’s right. Why did you come? I’m from Himeji in Hyogo. I came from Oita Prefecture, I guess. I’m from outside the prefecture, too. I’m from Sa City in Kanagawa Prefecture. 15 years ago, the town tried to save the island’s only high school, which was on the verge of closure, by starting the island study abroad program. Island life gained attention, and apparently the student population doubled. [Music] On the mainland, in places like Oita, it’s mostly just playing games, but here it’s not like that, it’s more like going to the mountains or playing in the sea, and I feel like there really is a place like this for nature lovers, and I live my life thinking that. Yeah, that’s true. But hearing those kinds of words from young people makes our generation really happy, too. My eldest daughter and my second daughter all went abroad for six years and just came back. Yeah. And they were in their most advanced years, middle school and high school, so I thought they might be lonely. Yeah. What do you think? Apparently, for students from outside the prefecture, each student is given a “shima-oya ” (a parent-figure) in their first year . The people on the island become like parent-figures to me, and I often visit them, so even if I get lonely, I feel like I have a place where I can feel safe . This is great. Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to follow Tori, who is going to play downstairs. [Music] You all live so close to the water? It’s so great. This must be the scenery of your second hometown. That’s right. Your eyes have gotten used to it by now . No, it says Soukoya-san. That’s how it is. Hello, To-san, Mai-san. [Music] Hello, Ma-san. Sorry. Hello. Ah, my name is Suto. Nice to meet you. Sorry to bother you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Wow, your dad is so cool. Eh? Ah, you’re a shop owner? Here. Yes. Oh, I see. Eh, Maji-san is the island’s father, and he’s been acting as a parent figure to Torii-san and Sakamoto-san since they started school. [Music] Apparently they find time to get together like this and eat meals. He’s alone now. How old are you? 80. Eh, 80. You can’t tell at all. When these kids come, it’s so much fun. And it gives me energy. That’s how it is. And the business cards are nice too. Well, excuse me. Sorry to bother you. Excuse me. Cheers. Sorry to bother you. Cheers. [Music] He really does feel like the father of the island. No, it’s true. Yeah. Hey, since they’re moving away from their parents, I’m acting as their parent instead. Yeah. Yeah. What do we actually talk about? Like if they’ve got a boyfriend? Yeah. Yeah. Because I’m starting to get old. Now that I have a boyfriend, I’m talking about romance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Like, they’re becoming a bit popular. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don’t hear that much about girls’ huts, do you? But Shima-san can talk about stuff like that too. Yeah. That’s right. Wow. Are you listening to that? No, I just use my experiences to have a conversation. A conversation from 80 years ago. About 60 years ago. It goes backwards. Properly. Oh, wow. So, talking about those experiences, Maji-san often jokes around and takes me to all sorts of places , yeah. That kind of thing gets the conversation going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like Shimo-san is connecting me with the community. Ah, I see. Ten years ago, an acquaintance asked Maji to look after the students. Oh, so they’re all kind of parents . Yeah, all the previous ones. So far, about 15 students have acted as parents . Maji was one of the original members who established the island parent system, an essential part of island studies . Of course, some got married, some got jobs, and only one student got married. What do you do when that happens? I went. Oh, I went to the wedding. Yeah, the three people who were invited were there. Oh my, they really have a relationship like Yoko-san’s. That’s right. I love this system. This initiative has gained popularity, and apparently, Tenmachi has started offering island study abroad programs for adults. I heard there’s a place for these adult students, so I decided to check it out. Oh, no. That island study. Oh, um. Wait, can an old guy like me come to that island study program for adults? Oh, so in your 20s, aren’t you already adults? Us too. Ah, well, if you say OK, then I’m OK too. Yeah. It’s a bit lonely. Ah, but yeah. That’s true. Well, I wonder if there’s any interest in bringing our sons’ and children’s generations here. They can work for the government or private companies for three months to a year and enjoy life on the island to the fullest. [Music] No, no, that’s not it. I knew it was on the counter. What’s the appeal of this island? The scenery is pretty beautiful, but there are so many people in their 20s from all over the country, and it’s really interesting to be able to interact with them. That’s it. Amazing. But it’s great. Lots of young people like this are coming in, and they’re so strong. Yeah. It seems like they’re still a strong ally these days . Apparently this cafe run by the owner is their favorite place. Well, I come here because it’s the most fun to hang out with the owner, but he also has a huge variety of records, and he ‘s been going to live shows of all kinds of international artists since way back when, and he has a lot of tickets that he shows me. Ah, yeah. It’s a rare live ticket from back then. Ah. Oh, you saw the Carpenders live too? Yep. For 1500 yen back then. Ah, 1500 yen. 1500 yen. That’s amazing. He ate there. I only found out after coming here. Really? I see. Can I have a look? Yes. Here you go. Earthinfiremaster5’s proud 70s record collection is also from our generation – our fathers’ generation after all. Ah. Yes. If we were alive a few years ago, we’d be the same age as 704. About that age. Oh, really? We’re in the same class. Oh, so we’re classmates then. Ah , father. Son. I see. Wow. I’m sure everyone is drawn to this comfort. [Music] Next up is the Oryu no Tabe. No, it’s getting to be a good time. Crane Island: A trip to the Okinoshima Islands, full of encounters. Ah, there it is, there it is. This is it. Minshuku Tajimaya. Nice. It’s a popular minshuku with many repeat guests from outside the prefecture. [Music] Yes. Wow, what a red sea bream. This fish house is huge. Yes. Well, I used to run a restaurant called Futamatamaru for about 35 years. My father loves fishing. Yes. Repeat customers come for the dishes made with sea bass caught in the big ocean. Let’s eat. Well, let’s start with the southern sea bass. Yes. The more I chew it, the more the scent of the sea permeates the southern sea bass. And then there’s the isa. Mmm. This is it. It really is the sea bass. This Okinoshima is delicious. Sachi’s full course meal is made with fresh fish caught that day. Next up is squid sashimi. Oh, so stylish . It’s slightly sautéed with basil. Ah, stylish. For larger pieces, I think it’s better to cook it a little more than sashimi. It softens a little. That’s right. It makes it easier to eat. Let’s eat. Yes. Delicious. The texture is irresistible. Not just the flavor of the sea, but also Shimana’s offshore beef. [Music] Let’s eat. And then we have pudding for dessert. [Music] It’s a perfect pudding to finish off the meal. Or rather, it’s delicious. Thank you. This is head chef Seth. The head chef is amazing. I love that guesthouse there. You can taste the flavor of the people who are staying there, so I think this is the new bone-chilling experience. It was truly that kind of dish, and it was wonderful. Thank you. It was incredibly delicious. It’s really great. Guesthouses. This inn has another specialty. Let’s go and call Sket. Yes. Nice to meet you. Hello. Oh, hello. I’ll do it. That’s his son. That’s his pee. We’re both Shimakkos. This is Mom from back then. It’s Ka-chan. He always calls her Ka-chan. Wow, that’s amazing. Yuta graduated from high school almost four years ago, a former Shimakko exchange student. The landlady, Yo-san, was the Shimakko parent at the time. She now works in Kochi Prefecture. [Music] Apparently , he comes back like this sometimes. Wow. When he comes back, this place is always there, so Dad treats him to a delicious meal. He makes a profit from them. Is that so? Well, now, yes. We’ll dance. Those two are also helping with the island’s civilian funds, though. So, bring the Kigechakapon. [Music] It’s an essential part of celebrations and banquets, and apparently all the island students learn to dance. Come on, Kikugechaka, come on, bring the Kikuragechakapon . [Music] Yo, [Music] That’s it. Wow, amazing. Isn’t it perfect? [Music] It’s been four and a half years since I last danced, and when I heard the sound, my ears remembered a little bit, like, yeah, it was like this. My body remembers it. Yeah. It’s Ten’s culture, after all. That’s how it is. Yeah, [Applause] Amazing. At the end of my trip, I went to Tengai National Park. I did a little fishing here and there. The scenery is completely different from looking at it from below and from above. This contrast. Wow, it’s amazing. [Music] I’m glad I came. My trip to the ocean allowed me to experience nature firsthand and get lots of hints for life from the people who live there. I’d like to live there too. [Music]
