【Ishigaki Island Culture】第五十一旅「🏡石垣島・第二弾！古民家と踊りに出会う──八重山の“心”へ✨」【🇯🇵字幕👂】

Haisai! Oori-Toori!
(“Welcome” in IShigaki-jima dialect ) Speaking of Ishigaki Island, it’s all about resorts!
Lying down on the poolside like this and doing nothing… This kind of time is important,
but it wouldn’t make an episode if we didn’t do anything. So, last time, we saw Ishigaki Island’s nature
and some beautiful mangroves, this time, let’s explore a wonderful place where you can truly
experience the culture and history of the Yaeyama Islands! We’ll be visiting a great site, and travel back in time
to ancient Yaeyama time! So… Ready…
Let’s Goya! Everyone, please support our channel! It really feels like Okinawa! – Hello. Thank you very much.
– Thank you very much for coming. It’s a wonderful place, and typical of Ishigaki,
these stone walls are very impressive, So what kind of facility is this? Ishigaki Yaima Village is place with red-tiled old Ryukyu houses
over 115 years old, relocated from the city center. – What kind of things can you see here?
– There’s a walking path through the mangroves, an observation deck, an in addition to the traditional houses,
you can also experience Okinawan culture, – and eat snacks and meals, do all sorts of things.
– That’s great. – Please give us a tour! – Yes, thank you very much. – This is the Morita Residence. – Morita Residence! – In terms of age, I think it’s 118 years old.
– 118 years is over a century. – Yes. The owner, Mr. Morita, was the president of Waseda University. – Was he from Okinawa? – Yes, from Okinawa. – Oh, nice. Amazing. You can really the era! As you said, 118 years old. Also, this, is something you don’t often see anymore
on the mainland, like a terrace… enjoying nature and the garden… you often see that it in anime! – The “engawa” ? – Yes! You could sit here and eat mochi!
– Yes. – Like this. It’s very nice. Okinawan houses are made up of an Omote-za (front)
and Ura-za (rear), .and this is the Ura-za. In the old days, this part was where women and children lived. And it’s great that visitors can visit the inside here!
There’s also a magnificent Buddhist altar! This one is a very old Buddhist altar. It’s amazing, really! The old buildings, the birdsong,
the vibrant flowers, and the magnificent stone walls! It really makes me feel like I’ve slipped in time.
I wonder what kind of other things you have? – What’s that? Ah! A Sabani! – Yes.
– A Sabani, right? An Okinawan boat… Yes! This Sabani on display here
was actually used in the Miyako Islands. What kind of boat is a Sabani, or what was it used for? It was originally a fisherman’s boat carved out of a single log. The tip over there is V-shaped, which cuts through the waves,
allowing it to move incredibly quickly. – So it’s great for speed! – Yes. However, it’s also unstable and prone to tipping over,
so only experienced fishermen can move along with great ease, So it takes a while to get to that level! Right nearby, there’s a replica
of a fisherman’s home from long ago. – Different from the one we just saw? – That’s right! It’s a home
where you can see all kinds of unique Okinawan wisdom. Well, let’s go see it too! It’s over there! Yes! It says “fish and equipment”, and there are many things related
to the sea, so it’s easy to see that it’s a fisherman’s home. – Actually, I’d like you to pay attention to what’s under your feet.
These are coral paving stones. – Coral! – Yes. – Is there any reason why they used coral? – Actually,
this coral absorbs moisture from this pillar, and then releases it. – I see! – Also, because this coral is calcareous, termites
don’t come near it! – Also a termite prevention measure! Okay! It seems to have been designed in this way. – This is a porcupine fish mouse trap.
– What is a porcupine fish mouse trap? – There was food placed in this cage, so if you leave it there,
mice would come to nibble and eat it. – That’s true! So when a mouse tries to come up from above… it will find
the spines of this dried porcupine fish stuck upside down, – so it can’t get to it! – Ah, it’s like a mouse deterrent. Wow! This is really something only fishermen can do,
this is how they used porcupine fish after catching them… – By the way, can you even eat porcupine fish? – Yes, you can!
I’ve heard they do in some region. – I see. Anyway, whether they ate them or not,
it was used in the kitchen like this! Next, although it’s a bit off topic from the “culture”,
there’s a spot in our village that I absolutely want you to see! – The most popular spot!
– Would you mind to go there with me? – Sure, please! Wow, we’ve already been to so many places,
what are we seeing next? It’s the most popular spot in Ishigaki Yaima Village,
the Squirrel Monkey Forest! Yes, it’s written here, Squirrel Monkey Forest! – Squirrel monkeys are tiny! – Yes. They’re about this tiny.
– They’re small monkeys, aren’t they? – They’re originally from Bolivia, in South Central America.
– Bolivia! But the subtropical climate of Ishigaki is almost identical
to the climate where they originally lived. – So were they born in Bolivia? – Yes.
But all the monkeys in our Ishigaki Yaima Village now,
have been replaced by new generations, – meaning that they’re all now island-born and island-raised!
– Islanders! Islander squirrel monkeys!
Bolivian squirrel monkeys from Ishigaki, Okinawa! – Amazing!They must be super cute so I can’t wait to see them!
Please show me around. – Thank you! Yes, please. – From the Amazon River, huh? 600g? – Yes. 600g.
– That’s so tiny, isn’t it? – That’s tiny. My cat is like 6kg! So it’s 1/10th of that! – Is there anything I should be careful of? – That’s right.
Never chase them or try to grab them by force. Also, please show your palms. If you show a fist,
they might think you’re holding something and get mad. I see. So they sense it as a provocation. So, how many of them are there in this jungle,
or forest, or jungle? – There are over 70 of them right now.
– 70? I saw in the documents that there were 60, so that means the number has increased! There they are!!!
There they are!!! Climbing a tree right now! Here! Hello! What! So cute! ! They’re so tiny! Hello!!! – They… – They’re adults! – Oh! – They feel so soft you know!
– Oh, I haven’t touched them yet, so I don’t know, but… I wonder if they’ll come and climb on me! ?
Oh, amazing! Let me take a look this way! There you are! Hello! Hello! – It’s better not to touch them first, but no problem if they
do climb on me, right? Do they bite or anything? – They don’t. Ah, bye-bye! Gone… But so amazing! First, please hold this container. Now, please hold this firmly… – Really firmly. – Yes. Hold it firmly.
– If you don’t hold it firmly, they’ll probably take it away. – Hello! Oh, there they are! – They’re already waiting behind.
– There are so many of them! So cute! So light! Really, they’re really light. They’re talking. Meow meow meow. I feel so happy. Hello! Huh?
Oh, your bottom is pointing towards me. What do you want? – Well then. – You’re waiting for something. – Yes. Food.
– You’re waiting for food. You have a lot of energy! So cute! Amazing! Oh, look at you!!
Not going away and keeping eating from my hand. It’s good! – No. I can’t imitate that, not yet. Ah, it’s gone in the blink
of an eye. It’s empty! – Once it’s empty, they go away. It’s exciting in a good way, like a first love, and they’re super adorrable. What? Oh, there’s nothing left, sorry!! Shall you climb again? You want to climb again? ? No? ?
Yeah, no… I guess I’m nothing valuable for them now. Ah, thank you! I knew you’d come! He’s so light, not just using his legs
but also his tail to grab branches. Do you want more? Do you want more? ?
Sorry. There’s no more. There’s no more. Hello. Hello. Amazing! Oh, he looked inside my pocket. So cute. Does it itch? Does it itch? ? It’s just too cute for words.
So cute that my voice is getting higher-pitched… What’s inside my pocket…
The’ve got such a strong sense of curiosity! Look, he’s been looking inside my pocket this whole time. Yes. He got off. He got off. Oh, amazing. I’ve been on this show for over three years and have had a lot
of experiences, but this excitement, it really feels like first love. So, here in Squirrel Monkey Forest,
baby monkeys are born around July. At first they cling tightly to their mothers. But around October
or November they start to separate from them – and start walking around here and getting playful!
A very cute time. – Wow, so cute. That means that from July onwards,
you’ll be able to see baby squirrel monkeys for a while. They’re hanging on so much. Climbing on me.
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you! Thank you for today! Wow, you did a double jump! Can I live in this forest with the squirrel monkeys from today?
Being fed by the visitors? Wow, the squirrel monkeys were so cute! It’s only been
a few minutes since I left, but I already miss them. Cute monkeys… But we’ve come now to another impressive
building. What kind of place is this? Is it another cultural asset? This is the Makishi Residence. This is the mansion where
Makishi Soutoku, the first mayor of Ishigaki City, lived. So it has a really long history, and it was the home
of a very important person, wasn’t it? – Here, at the Makishi residence, our village’s idol… – Idol?
– Yes. She holds performances four times a day. – So I have no choice but to see her. – That’s right.
– Well, I’d like to take a look at it to finish. Thank you so much for the wonderful tour today.
Now, let’s take a look at the idol of Yaima Village! Everyone, applause! Clap clap! Yes. The gold leaf sake has arrived. No, I’m not going to drink it all in one gulp,
but instead I’ll put it on my head and dance, everyone! Clap along… – Oh, Grandma, you were amazing! – Thank you.
– It was so much fun, and so powerful. – Also, is there any trick to holding the bottle on your head?
– There’s no trick. – Can even I do it? – Yes, you can!
– Can I just try it? – Go ahead, go ahead! – How… ok, let’s just squat down once…
– No, stand-up! Okay! Over here, over here! – Now, put this on your head like that. – Okay! – That’s right, that’s right, that’s right! – On my hat.
– On your hat. Hold on. Yes. Please grab it. – Look straight at me! – Yes. Oh, that’s risky! – Amazing! – I did it. Just a little. For about two seconds.
– Amazing! You did it, you did it! What do you like most about Ishigaki Island? Everything! The people, the sea, the mountains… the scenery. – Is it because it’s where you were born and raised?
– Yes. Yes. – Yeah. Wow, that’s wonderful. You semm a little nervous, I don’t know where all that energy
from before went, but that’s also cute! Thank you so much for today. Triangle: Ta-ta-tan! Snare drum, bang! Okay! – Oh! You mastered it!
– Thank you very much. – Thank you very much. I was able to see so much of Ishigaki’s traditions,
from Yaima Village to the architecture, and it was amazing. It’s getting dark now, and the Art Hotel Ishigakijima, where I’m staying, is hosting
a folk song live performance every day from 8:00 PM, so I’d like to go and see another type of
unique folk song live performance. Let’s go! – Thank you so much for the show! It was wonderful!
– Thank you. We’re performing for tourists, so we’re doing our best,
trying to make them enjoy by adding some ad-lib. The three of us make eye contact, make choices,
and sing together despite our inexperience. It’s amazing! To be honest,
I don’t think I could ever move my fingers like that! – That’s great! Thank you! So, finally, what do you like
about Ishigaki Island? In order! – I love the sea. The heart of the people on the island. I think it’s easy
to understand eachother without even saying a word. – Delicious pineapples, delicious mangoes! – Oh, fruits! Everyone, please come too! Every day you can enjoy a different
experience with new live performances, so please come. – Thank you! – We’ll continue training! Thank you. The second day on Ishigaki Island was a very productive day. First, we went to Ishigaki Yaima Village, where we saw
old buildings that are also very valuable cultural assets, and got a glimpse into the lives of the fishermen,
a little different from the main island,
I got a sense of that through the buildings. And then there was the famous Grandma.
Her performance was amazing, even though she was singing folk songs, she really brought
some comedy to them. We had lots of laughs! Then the folk songs we saw after returning to the hotel
were also very nice and accessible.
A wonderful show that even tourists can enjoy, but the islanders would enjoy it too, having everyone,
people from outside the prefecture and even the world
enjoy it also contributes to the preservation of our culture. And finally, tomorrow is the third and final day! When you think of Ishigaki Island,
you think of the sea, coral, and coral reefs. On the third day, we’ll be focusing on the ocean,
and we’ll be learning a lot about the ocean and coral,
so please look forward to it. So then…
See You Shisa! It’s delicious, so let’s drink it. Today again, we learned a lot about Okinawa’s charms! Even though I am an Uchinanchu (Okinawan native),
I made various discoveries too! So everyone, please subscribe to the channel!
Yutashiku Unige Sabira (Please)! (in Okinawan) Hope you’ll watch again!
