The setting is Amaharashi Coast in Toyama Prefecture, where the 3,000-meter-high Tateyama mountain range towers across the sea. Bad weather often prevails on the Sea of Japan in winter, making it rare to see such spectacular scenery. What are people thinking as they wait for the mountains to appear on the beach?
The Sea of Japan is bitterly cold in winter, but many people still flock to Amaharashi Beach in Toyama Prefecture.
People eagerly await the view of the majestic Tateyama mountain range. It is said that a place where you can see 3,000-meter-high mountains over the sea is rare even in the world. Photographers wait from early in the morning to see the mountains, people who take a break on the beach after work, couples traveling in camper vans, and young people who have come to try fishing. In winter, the weather is prone to rough weather, and there are few opportunities to see such a spectacular view. What are people thinking as they stand by the seaside?
This documentary program focuses on a single location each time, observing the various human dramas that occur there over a period of 72 hours. It listens to the stories of people who meet by chance, capturing the current era.
