NHK's documentary program "Document 72 Hours" (General TV, Friday 10pm) on June 13th was set in a prefabricated soba restaurant in Tsugaru, Aomori, that only opens for a few hours at night, during the Golden Week holidays when many people return home from their hometowns.
The story is set in a prefabricated soba restaurant in Goshogawara, Aomori. It is only open for a few hours at night, the interior is small, and it is a stand-up restaurant. But strangely, many people visit. A parent and child who stop by every time they visit their hometown, a mother who started working a second job to support her daughter who moved to Tokyo, sisters who run an apple farm for three generations, and even people who have left their hometown of Tsugaru all come back here, nostalgic for the soba.
What is hometown?
The program is a documentary program that sets up a camera at one location each time and observes the various human dramas that occur there for 72 hours. It listens to the stories of people who meet by chance and captures the "present" era.
