"Platinum Family: A Peek into the Magnificent Family" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays at 7pm, excluding some areas) is a program showcasing the lifestyles of "magnificent families." On January 27th, a two-hour special will air titled "A Special Infiltration of a Huge Mansion with a Long Wall." The program will feature a mansion located on a vast plot of land measuring approximately 66,000 square meters in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture.
The main house is a valuable building that was relocated in the early Showa period using a construction technique called "hikiya," which allows a building to be moved without being dismantled. The stunning Japanese garden, whose beauty has been enjoyed by many celebrities, including Shimura Ken, is also open to the public.
The family business, a 107-year-old company that produces the world's best products and was awarded "World's Best" in one of the world's largest competitions, is now exported to 20 countries, and is said to be the family home of a certain celebrity. This program will introduce the home where this celebrity was born and raised, as well as unknown stories from his childhood. In addition, the older brother, who took over as the fifth generation, will talk about his passion for the family business and his hometown, and will also reveal his passion.
This time, the program will feature a 1330m2 Japanese house in one of Japan's most prime locations, a luxurious mansion where the descendants of an ancient Nara clan live, and a family still living in a samurai residence in Kakunodate, Akita.
