Tomonoura: The Old Folks and The Sea
Tomonoura in Hiroshima Prefecture is known for its picturesque location and historic neighborhoods. It lies halfway along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, in western Japan. In the Edo Period, up to the mid-19th century, it was a busy, bustling port. And even today, it looks little changed. For that reason, it has been used as a location for many movies, both Japanese and foreign. It is also the setting for one of the best loved animated films by director Hayao Miyazaki. Local fishermen set up their own market stalls here and there in the town, selling their freshly landed seafood. At a small ship yard, the 82-year-old owner keeps alive the skills of traditional shipbuilding. And local people gather at a small okonomiyaki restaurant run by 90-year-old woman owner. It is a town where senior citizens continue to play a full part in the daily life of the community. A growing number of younger people have also moved to the town. One of the newcomers runs a café and also takes people visitors out kayaking. One destination is an island famous for its landscapes and for its unspoiled environment, which is the habitat for tiny sea insects known as umihotaru, or sea fireflies. On this episode of Journeys in Japan, Charles Glover discovers the history, the vibrant life and the beautiful environment of Tomonoura.
