A lonely house：The program's first location shoot in Okinawa: A spectacular view from reclaimed farmland. An 84-year-old man looks back on his childhood on the battlefield and the postwar period under U.S. rule.

"The Isolated House" is a variety show that uses satellite photos as clues to search for isolated houses (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sunday 7:58 p.m.). In the September 15 broadcast, the search team will head to Okinawa Prefecture for the first time on the show. The guests are actor Hisako Manda and TV personality Airi Taira. Manda says, "I hate bugs and I like neon lights (laughs), so I dream of living in an isolated house, but I don't think I could do it," to which Taira firmly replies, "As long as I have a husband, I can live anywhere."

The satellite photos obtained by the search team show what appears to be a building on a triangular piece of land cut into the forest in northern Okinawa. Manda makes the unexpected confession, "My first love was from Okinawa. I can picture his face." Taira predicts, "It's Okinawa, so maybe he'll work exterminating vipers..."

As the search team headed for the nearest village overlooking Okinawa's beautiful ocean, they met a local man in a large log house. After looking at satellite photos, the man (55) said he had no idea, "I've never heard of a house around here." He offered to guide them to the house of the ward chief (64) who lives nearby. The chief then said, "It's probably best to ask the neighboring village," and introduced them to the ward chief of the neighboring town.

However, the ward chief of the neighboring town (68) was puzzled, saying, "Hmm. No one should live here." Eventually, more people in the area joined in, and it turned out that the house was a mountain cabin belonging to a tangerine farmer whose home was in a village at the foot of the mountain. They also received information that the farmer was working in the cabin, so the search team set off with the chief's guidance.

As they left the village behind, the scenery changed completely. As they climbed the mountain path, they were greeted by a magnificent view overlooking the ocean. As we walked down the steep slope, admiring this beautiful scenery, a two-story building came into view. We were greeted by an 84-year-old man who grows tankan and shekwasha oranges. About 65 years ago, he purchased this mountain, which was village land, and together with his father, a carpenter, he spent five years cultivating the tangerine orchard.

When the man was four years old, Okinawa became a battlefield during the Pacific War. During his childhood, there were air raids almost every day, and he spent his days training to escape to bomb shelters. He says he could tell the difference between different types of fighter planes by the sound. Furthermore, many episodes from Okinawa under American rule are revealed.
