"Potsun to Ikkenya" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sunday 7:58pm) is a variety show that uses satellite photos to find a secluded house. In the November 3rd broadcast, the search team visits a farm stay in a former pasture in Hokkaido.
The search team headed to Hokkaido. They passed through a single road lined with endless trees to reach the nearest village. They asked a resident to check the satellite photos to confirm the way. As they left the village onto a wide national highway, they saw the entrance to a mountain road. The road narrowed, and they drove along a rough road with an endless deep forest. Eventually, a building with a white exterior came into view.
As they got out of the car and approached the building, they saw a sign that read "Farm Stay." They rang the doorbell and a 69-year-old woman greeted them with a smile, saying, "You really came out of nowhere (laughs)." It is said that at its peak, this area once raised around 400 cattle.
The farm inn now only operates one room, but guests can stay the night and experience farming at the same time. As they are being shown around the inn, the farmer's 20-year-old grandson arrives and treats the search team to a meal made with freshly picked vegetables. The search team helps prepare the dish, which uses plenty of locally grown vegetables.
The trailer shows the search team mashing potatoes to make rice cakes and frying flower tempura.
The guests are actors Terajima Shinobu and Terada Kokoro.
