At night, Japan's National Highway No.2 was dark.

Only a few street lamps are used for lighting, which makes drivers drive very carefully.

But if you continue to walk, you will be shocked:

One second, the expressway was opaque, and suddenly the lights were bright and tourists were everywhere:

This is the most famous place in Japan that has made countless Japanese people come over mountains:

How much do Japanese diners love this city that never sleeps?

"Hiroshima people must come here for a rub after they get their driver's license."

"For us cyclists, this is the designated supply place."

Even foreigners in Japan are full of praise here.

"It smells like home!"

so why is it that it is remote and still popular with the Japanese?

it all depends on their signboard: mountain thief roast chicken!

The roast chicken here has inherited the tradition of Japanese mountain bandits' "uninhibited" and its weight is quite large.

And it's crispy outside and tender inside, which makes people memorable. It's one of the unique delicacies in this remote place.

The table setting in the city that never sleeps is also very interesting.

unlike the "sense of distance" between seats in Japanese restaurants, tables in the city that never sleeps are usually long tables.

Diners * * * gather here to have a big meal, which feels like a food stall here.

with delicious food as bait, natural guests come like clouds, and customers who come to patronize have different stories.

this morning, a family of four came to the city that never sleeps.

The beautiful hat on mom's head attracted the attention of the film crew.

why does mother have to dress up so grandly?

Because their family came all the way from Nagoya to watch the fireworks show at the invitation of friends in Hiroshima.

It's been a long time for a mother who loves to dress up.

"Actually, my son has leukemia." Mom said flatly.

In order to take care of her seriously ill son, the mother sacrificed a lot of her personal life.

I live in the hospital every day to take care of my son, and I am afraid all the time. My mother has lived this life for more than a year.

Now that my son has finally recovered from hospital, in order to reward him, the family also came here to travel.

for my son, it's also a difficult time to treat the disease.

due to the effect of drugs and chemotherapy, my son lost his sense of taste when he was treating the disease, and nothing he ate tasted.

In order to encourage my son, my mother kept telling him that there is a place in Hiroshima where the roast chicken is delicious ...

"When you get well, my mother will take you to eat."

Breathing fresh air and eating delicious food are common things that I have been looking forward to.

It is with this mentality that my son has survived the most difficult days.

Now, my son can finally eat delicious roast chicken and rice balls. Now, how can he look a little sick?

facing the camera, my son couldn't help crying when he went to the emotional place.

the mother on the side also showed a gratified smile.

Just look at this smile to see how much she loves her children.

at night, the film crew heard the rough sound of motorcycles outside the city that never sleeps.

When the film crew tried to find out, they were blocked by this mob.

however, after 3 minutes, the film crew was called in by this mob.

No way, the poor film crew had to bite the bullet and follow.

The boss headed by the mobs explained:

After the explanation, the mobs showed a gentle smile.

Thirty mobs from Hiroshima and Yamaguchi seem to have a certain goal and meet in this store.

seeing this, do you think that their target is illegal activities such as robbery and extortion?

I didn't expect their goal to be: to raise money.

It turns out that when the documentary was filmed, it coincided with a 7.3-magnitude earthquake in Kyushu, Japan, which had already killed dozens of people.

they just run around to raise money.

Then, why did Hiroshima people who were not affected spontaneously help Kyushu people?

The boss's answer is simple:

Afterwards, everyone showed the money raised, a thick stack of Japanese yen.

although they don't look like good people, they are really doing good deeds.

The next afternoon, the film crew noticed a family and looked at the store quietly.

The husband said to the film crew:

"Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. She said she would come here before, so we brought her with us."

However, my mother-in-law has been silently looking in other directions, ignoring the film crew.

I finally look forward to my mother-in-law's speech, but her pronunciation is very vague, which makes people unable to understand what she is saying.

all words must be translated by my daughter.

It turns out that 41 years ago, my mother-in-law got tongue cancer, and the doctor removed her focus. Since then, her speech has become vague.

for this reason, my mother-in-law wears a mask all the year round, just to cover the scars left after the operation.

In a bustling shop, slowly tasting this bowl of udon noodles is enough to make an 81-year-old man happy.

Facing the camera, my mother-in-law said, "My son-in-law is very kind to me."

The son-in-law said:

With such a filial son-in-law, my mother-in-law must be very happy.

The 46-year-old city that never sleeps, like its small Japanese town, faces an inevitable problem:

The aging population.

All the people who work here are local old people.

For the old people here, the happiest day of every month is the day when they get paid.

If they have money, they can give their grandchildren pocket money.

it's sad, but it's also realistic.

Jiuke Central Hospital near the city that never sleeps is not much better.

That night, the whole hospital came to the city that never sleeps, and more than 81 people came for a big dinner.

why does the whole hospital come here for dinner?

The head nurse explained:

From my point of view, I certainly don't want to see a city that never sleeps with such a long history and delicious food,

because of aging.

an old brand bearing many people's joys and sorrows should not fall down.

If I have the opportunity to travel to Japan in the future, I will definitely come here and order a roast chicken to chew!
