"The House in the Middle of Nowhere" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sunday 7:58pm) is a variety show that uses satellite photos to search for a secluded house. In the June 1st broadcast, a search team visits a remote island in the Seto Inland Sea and closely follows the life of a couple living in a house. The guests are singer-songwriter Ishizaki Huwie and actor Yamashita Rio.
A small island in Kagawa Prefecture floating in the Seto Inland Sea. In satellite photos, a building can be seen just off the beach. On the other side of the beach, trees grow thick. There is no settlement on the island, let alone a pier or dock. The search team heads to the neighboring island by ferry. When questioned at the port where they arrived, a man (38) revealed, "It's a house on the neighboring island, right? I'm the caretaker."
The man who volunteered to be their guide took the search party to the island in a small boat. When they arrived at the beach, they saw a charming shingled-roofed building and a stone storehouse on a site that looked like it had been cleared from a forest. However, it was not an inhabited house. Then, the caretaker revealed to the search party, "I know of a lonely house on another island where people live," leading to an unexpected development. Moreover, he kindly offered to take them to the island by boat.
A house on another island, about 10 minutes by boat from the island. It was a luxurious mansion overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. We were greeted by a couple in their 70s who moved here two years ago. In fact, the husband (76) had made a "surprising invention," which astonished MC George Tokoro and panelist Osamu Hayashi. The preview video shows the search team being impressed by the "paradise" where beautiful butterflies fly around, and colorful dishes.
