税金は使わず民間へ丸投げ！？世界遺産・出島、衝撃の建設秘話　旅で知る歴史の真実と、絶景貸し切りキャンプ。

Alright everyone, hello. Last time, the booking site wasn’t working, and on top of that, there was only a 60% chance of landing, but we miraculously managed to land on Gunkanjima. I’m really not good at history as a subject, but by actually going to these places, I get to learn about the historical background and episodes that aren’t in textbooks, so it was a great learning experience. Plus, you never forget the things you learn by seeing them on a trip like this. If I had traveled like this when I was a student, maybe I would have started to like history. Alright, so we’re back in Nagasaki City. First, it’s time to get some food, so we’ve come to Ajimori, a popular restaurant for champon. It wasn’t quite lunchtime yet, but we were the last ones to get a seat. Of course, we had the popular Nagasaki Champon. Come to think of it, I think we also had champon at a drive-in yesterday, but champon is delicious no matter how many times you eat it. Nagasaki Champon has such an overwhelming presence, doesn’t it? The colorful ingredients piled high like a mountain, and the fragrant aroma of stir-fry oil and seafood rising with the steam… The flavor is surprisingly gentle and mild. Behind the creamy richness, there’s the sweetness of the vegetables, and a deep umami that must have come from the seafood, all coming together in multiple layers. Nagasaki Champon is the best. Next up, we’ve come to a very classic tourist spot, Meganebashi Bridge. I’ve been here a few times before, but we realized we’d never seen the “Heart Stone,” so since it was close to Ajimori, we decided to come take a look. We were looking for it, but we went too far. People said it was around here, so we turned back a little, and there it was. There are a bunch of coins stuck in it. It doesn’t look like it was added later. Has this always been here? I wondered if the Heart Stone was here when I last visited, so I looked it up. Apparently, during a flood in 1982, the Meganebashi Bridge suffered major damage,
with parts of it collapsing. During the restoration work, the stonemasons, with a bit of playfulness, embedded the Heart Stone among the other stones in the retaining wall. So that means it’s been here for quite a while. I didn’t notice it at all when I was here before. Meganebashi Bridge was built in 1634. It was built by Mokusu Nyojo, a Chinese-born monk and the second head priest of Kofukuji Temple. At the time, the technique of building an arch with only stone was extremely innovative in Japan. There’s no wind today, so the reflection of the bridge’s arch is clear on the water, making it look just like a pair of spectacles. Hmm… Is that a kappa? I thought for a second those lips were Taro Aso’s. Siebold. Next, we came to Dejima in Nagasaki. I’d never actually set foot on the island before, so this time, I want to explore it. It goes all the way to the other side of the road. All the way over there. Surprisingly, they accepted WAON here. They also take cards. It was Japan’s only window to the West during the period of national isolation. Even someone like me, who’s not great with history, knows that much. But behind this famous tourist spot, there were many stories that we didn’t know yet. I always thought the government must have built this fan-shaped artificial island as a matter of national prestige. But that wasn’t the case at all. It was actually built by the merchants of Nagasaki, who were ordered by the government to take on massive debt to do so. In a way, it was an unwelcome burden. In return, they became the landlords of Dejima, and gained the right to collect rent from the Dutch. A huge rental facility for national policy, with the construction costs shouldered by the private sector. The resilience of the Nagasaki merchants of that time is just astonishing. The story of the government pushing its financial burdens onto the private sector… Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Many of Japan’s “firsts” were born on this tiny island. I talked about beer in the last video. Besides coffee and chocolate, of course, there’s this colorful paint that protected buildings from moisture. And badminton, which originated from a shuttlecock game the Dutch played. Our daily lives are undeniably connected to this place, Dejima. And there’s a figure who is essential to the story of Dejima. Philipp Franz von Siebold. A great physician known as the father of modern medicine in Japan. But there’s more to him than that. In the Siebold Incident, where he tried to take a map of Japan out of the country, he was accused of being a spy and was eventually deported. Hero or spy? I suddenly had a question about him. Siebold had a beloved woman, Otaki, and a daughter, Ine, in Japan. Didn’t he have a family back in his home country? I wondered. The answer is complicated. When he came to Japan, he didn’t have a wife back home. He was single. However, after being deported from Japan, he married in Europe and had five children. Siebold cherished both his Japanese family and his European family throughout his life. The complexity of his life seems to symbolize the history of Dejima itself. His daughter, Ine, was torn away from her father. But for her, this was just the beginning of her story. In an era when it was difficult for women to even get an education, she was betrayed by her mentor and faced an unwanted pregnancy. Despite experiencing suffering beyond words, she carved her own path with her own will. As Japan’s first female obstetrician, her rebellious spirit may have been the greatest legacy her father, Siebold, left in Japan. One of the things Siebold introduced to Japan was the piano. The oldest existing piano in Japan. But that piano is not on Dejima now. So where is it? When Siebold was deported, he entrusted this piano to one of his most trusted disciples, Kō Ryōsai. The piano was passed down with care from master to disciple, and from person to person. It miraculously survived the war and is now in the Kumatani Art Museum in Hagi City, Yamaguchi. Wow, I had no idea Siebold’s piano was there. I didn’t know at all. I visited Hagi in my old HiAce camper van, though. Dejima held one more major secret. After Japan opened its borders and Dejima’s role ended, the surrounding area was reclaimed, and it completely disappeared into the city. Its former fan-shaped outline was lost, and Dejima once vanished from the map. This sight is not an illusion. It is the result of a grand restoration project that began in 1951, sometimes called the “100-year plan.” This is its miraculous resurrected form. The pride and passion of the people of Nagasaki for their history brought this island back to the modern era. As you walk through Dejima, in every single stone of the pavement, in every single pillar of the buildings, you can almost hear the breath of the people, something you can’t find in textbooks. The resilience of the merchants, Siebold’s passion and love, Ine’s rebellious spirit, and the feelings of the modern people who brought this island back to life. A trip to Nagasaki is too precious to just look at the scenery. If you know the stories behind it, the view in front of you becomes deeper, and much more cherished. Looks like it’s cash only. You’re right, it’s cash only. How much is it? It’s cash only. Right, but how much? What? 3000 yen? Why? Hey! Didn’t it say 2400 yen? Right? This. It said max 2400 yen, but they charged us 3000 yen. What’s going on? This way, this way. Please go to the left. The parking lot advertised a max of 2400 yen, but they charged us 3000. Saikaibashi Auto-Campground. We have arrived. Nice. We have the whole place to ourselves today. And… we’re at the first site area. We’ve arrived. The third site is pretty nice too, though. The breeze here feels so good. There was a really pleasant breeze blowing that day. And we had the campground all to ourselves. So we took the opportunity to sit outside, have a beer, and just relax and enjoy the wind. Today, it’s jumbo hamburger steaks. Alright, for tonight, we had some beer earlier, but… I can’t peel the label off nicely. Today, what was this again? “Futariya”? Spain? Was it Spain? Spain. Doesn’t it say? Spain? Spain? A sparkling wine from Spain. Roger Goulart Cerebral. Roger Goulart Cerebral. It’s a dry sparkling rosé wine. Oops, it popped. Alright, it’s okay. Wonderful. If you release the pressure too quickly, it’ll pop. It’s all foam. It’s been a while since we had rosé. We don’t drink rosé that often, do we? And here’s the big hamburger steak from earlier. Alright then. Alright, cheers to a good day’s work. Cheers! Delicious. Nice. Jimami-dofu. They sold Jimami-dofu in Nagasaki. It’s called “Nagasaki Peanut Tofu.” It wasn’t called Jimami. Oh, really? Wow, it’s sweet. It’s sweet. Unlike the Okinawan one, it doesn’t have that usual jiggly texture. It’s peanut jelly. Peanut jelly. Not tofu. I guess the type is different? Yeah. Jelly. It’s jelly. It feels like solidified peanuts. The ever-reliable coleslaw salad. I should probably take a bite of the hamburger steak. The seasoning… Does it need sauce? Think it needs sauce? I wonder. Let’s eat. I think it could use a little seasoning. Soy sauce, maybe? We have this salad soy sauce, but… we don’t have any other sauce. This one? Should I put this on it? We don’t have wasabi. We only have mayo and soy sauce, so… let’s go with soy sauce. Salad soy sauce. Salad soy sauce. It’s good. It’s delicious. Sprinkle a little rock salt on the side here. Rock salt, right. Rock salt. A tiny bug. A tiny bug. A tiny bug. A tiny bug. Protein. That’s also part of the protein. Rock salt. Rock salt is delicious. I should have one of the inari-zushi too, just to try. The inari-zushi? This is from the restaurant at lunchtime yesterday. It came with the champon set meal. Delicious, delicious. The filling is white rice, vinegared rice. White rice. Vinegared rice. Vinegared rice. White vinegared rice. The filling… Mixed rice. Chirashi-zushi. The kind with chirashi-zushi inside… Isn’t that just a Kansai thing? Delicious. I’m used to that kind. When it’s just white… Where I’m from, inside the inari-zushi, what’s in it again? Carrots and stuff? Is there burdock root too? Do you use the leftover ingredients from chirashi-zushi? Is that how it works? With chirashi-zushi, at the same time… There’s no green. The pea-like things. The ingredients at the bottom of the chirashi-zushi. You put the stuff that’s mixed in the rice in as well. With the same base ingredients, you can make inari-zushi too. That’s how it is, right? There’s carrots, burdock root, lotus root… Lotus root is in there. Lotus root? I’m just the one eating it, I don’t make it, so I don’t know. I’ve never made it. I can only make Sushitaro. That’s all. What should we do? I tried setting up a table outside, but… it’s warm when the sun is out, but gets a bit chilly when it’s cloudy. Alright, shall we have breakfast? Yay! When I measure out 150ml, it’s really rich. It just goes to show how much I usually water it down. Saikaibashi Auto-Campground. Saikaibashi Auto-Campground. That’s how it was pronounced, right? Huh? Wait, it just ends with “Saikaibashi Auto-Campground,” but… Uh, I was just wondering if I was saying it right. Yeah, but you didn’t give me an answer. Were you waiting for an answer? I was waiting for an answer. Saikai-bashi. Isn’t it “kai”? It was “kai,” but… Not “sai-umi-bashi”? Saikai-bashi. The pronunciation isn’t written anywhere, so I think “Saikaibashi” is probably correct. Saikaibashi Auto-Campground. The view was really great. The showers and toilets were clean and well-kept, but they were pretty basic. There were cooking areas here and there, so it was a pretty good campground. There were a few sites with electricity too, though we didn’t use it. But not being able to dispose of trash might be a bit tough for travelers. Also, there’s a dump station, but it’s a pipe sticking up about 20cm from the ground, and only the end is open, so draining the grey water tank from a camper van is quite difficult. Because of the height. You can’t empty it unless you scoop it into a bucket first or something. I wonder if you can empty the black tank? It looked like you were supposed to dump it in the same place. Since we couldn’t throw away our trash, I called Sasebo City, and they said that since it’s trash generated at a Sasebo campground, they would collect it. Up to 20kg. Was it up to 10kg? For 450 yen or something. They said they would collect it if we brought it to the clean center, so we’re going to head to our next destination via the clean center. It’s not a lot of trash, not even a full garbage bag, but if we keep it, the trays that held raw food and stuff, and food packaging, it would be a problem if it started to smell. So we’re going to take it to the Tobu Clean Center and have them dispose of it. Thank you for watching this travel video all the way to the end. By the way, this camper van I’m currently traveling in, was actually a regular used bus two years ago. I converted it myself from scratch through DIY. On my other DIY channel, I show everything from the full paint job of the bus, to installing a bed, kitchen, floor heating, and air conditioning. I even took on my first aluminum welding challenge to build the ultimate electrical system. I’ve documented the entire process of how an amateur like me,
through trial and error, turned it into a travel-ready camper van. If you’re even a little curious about how this bus works, please check out my DIY channel from the link in the description. I’m sure it will make traveling look even more fun. Well then, I’ll see you in the next video. Please don’t forget to subscribe.
