Episode 33 · 2017-11-03
- Documentary
Episode overview
The Canary Islands are located 10,000 kilometers away from Japan. In September, Japanese-registered tuna fishing boats dock at the island's port. They repair their boats and refuel in preparation for fishing in the North Atlantic. The fishermen eagerly await their first vacation on land in months. The island offers a variety of restaurants open late into the night. For fishermen who lead a harsh life at sea, this is a precious time to relax and recover from their travels. The program follows the fishermen from their arrival in Japan and around the world until they set sail again three days later.
