"A House Alone" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sunday 7:58 PM) is a variety show that follows people living in secluded houses all over Japan. The August 3rd broadcast will focus on the life of a 78-year-old man who spent five years building a log cabin in the mountains of Nagasaki Prefecture.
The search team's destination was a large log house with a hipped roof in the mountains near the sea in Nagasaki Prefecture. The owner was a 78-year-old man who lived in a village at the foot of the mountain. He was originally born and raised in this area, but his family home, which had been passed down through four generations, was destroyed in a typhoon 41 years ago. He spent five years alone building stone walls and constructing the log house on this land, which had become a wasteland.
The man currently visits the log house almost every day to work in the fields. As the search team listens to his story, he tells us that 21 years ago, his beloved wife died of illness, and that he devoted himself to building the log house as a way to overcome his wife's death.
The guests are talent Mari Watanabe and actor Yuri Tsunematsu.
