■ A series of mishaps during traditional Suifu lantern making!? What will Ueda's retorts be to Enari's travel plan?
Shinya Ueda of Cream Stew and actor Kazuki Enari are so close that they even travel together privately. So, Enari decided to turn their private trip into a TV program, creating his own 'travel itinerary.' Just like their private trips, Enari will guide the journey according to his itinerary, focusing on shrines and temples, which Ueda says he's 'recently been into.' Cameras will even be rolling inside the car during their travels, documenting their usual friendly two-man trip in a documentary style! This program will show the candid, heartwarming, and amusing journey of Ueda and Enari, which cannot be seen on other variety shows. What kind of retorts will Ueda have for Enari's wholeheartedly planned project?
They drove from Tokyo to Oosugi Shrine in Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Ueda says, 'I seem to have a lot of evil spirits attached to me, but I'll carry them and live on,' but Enari guides him through unique prayers like 'kawarake-wari' (earthenware breaking) and 'negai-ya' (wish arrows) to cut off bad ties. Ueda and Enari, both experienced in archery, get excited about 'negai-ya' to achieve their dreams and increase their financial luck.
They also visit 'Kachiuma Shrine,' which is frequented by JRA personnel and horse racing fans due to its proximity to the JRA Miho Training Center. Ueda and Enari, both horse racing enthusiasts, pray for big wins in G1 races? Horse lovers will be thrilled!? Ueda exclaims in admiration at a mysterious chinquapin tree! Also, pay attention to the hilarious talk with the chief priest, who even retorts to Ueda's comments.
For lunch, Enari wanted Ueda to 'savor Hitachi beef,' so they went to a restaurant in Mito City. When Ueda heard the location, he complained, 'Is it that far? I'm hungry, can you stop by a convenience store?' causing Enari to panic.
The two make lanterns while being taught by the shop owner, but only Ueda's technique is highly praised.
Next, they visited 'Kageyama Rihei Shoten' in Mito City, founded in 1798. At this shop, which handcrafts and sells traditional Suifu lanterns, they learned about the features of Suifu lanterns, and Ueda and Enari also tried their hand at making them. While being taught by the shop owner, only Ueda's technique was highly praised. What will Enari say to Ueda, who says 'Not good enough' from a condescending perspective!?
Then, at 'Oarai Isomae Shrine,' they observed the Kamiiso no Torii (gate in the sea). Ueda was so excited by the unexpectedly rough sea that he exclaimed, 'Is this Toei (movie studio)!?' He desperately tried to capture the wild scene on camera.
Comments from Shinya Ueda and Kazuki Enari:
Q: This time, Enari was the guide. How did you try to make Ueda enjoy it?
Enari: 'I think I was able to bring out Ueda's usual self with this trip plan. I really want people to see Ueda's true face. Like, Ueda is this funny even in private.'
Ueda: 'Indeed, it felt almost exactly like when I travel privately with Enari-kun. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I hardly even noticed the cameras. Maybe I should have been a bit more conscious (laughs). It felt very much like a private trip.'
Q: As the guide, Enari-san, which part do you think Ueda-san enjoyed the most?
Enari: 'Well, I thought Ueda-san enjoyed every place, but I think he particularly enjoyed Oosugi Shrine.'
Ueda: 'Yes, the food was delicious, and making lanterns was fun. That's why I want Enari-kun to become the editor-in-chief of a travel magazine.'
Enari: 'Wow, amazing. Yay!'
Ueda: 'I'm thinking of collecting all the magazines by Editor-in-Chief Enari, as he promotes the charms of various regions in the future.'
Enari: 'Thank you. I look forward to it (laughs).'
Q: Where would you like to guide Ueda-san next, Enari-san?
Enari: 'Ueda-san said he's never been to Ise Grand Shrine, and I asked him a few days ago if he'd like to go. If I could guide him, Ise Grand Shrine would be it.'
Ueda: 'I definitely want to go to Ise Grand Shrine. But I completely trust Editor-in-Chief Enari's recommendations.'
Enari: 'I've been there, so I'd like to guide Ueda-san.'
Ueda: 'But he sometimes misses the key points in his guidance. In that sense, there are some suspicious parts.'
Enari: 'Indeed, my travel magazine might have many gaps... (laughs).'
Ueda: 'He sometimes omits the top recommended spots from other guidebooks. That's...
