Yoko (658km、陽子の旅)

The top autumn foliage spot in Tokyo is now at its peak.

The Meiji Jingu Gaien in Tokyo's Minato Ward, lined with about 150 gingko trees,

turns into a golden tunnel

when about 80% of them change color and reach their peak.

Many tourists from overseas also visit

the ginkgo tree-lined streets to see the beautifully colored gingko trees.

It is also known as a famous spot for autumn foliage in the city center.

Excuse me.

This is Kumasou Transportation.

Are these three items correct?

Thank you very much. Excuse me.

What's happening?

- Life is... - Best.

- Why is that? - I Am...

- To eat. - Fresh.

- Oh no. - We're done for.

Yoko?

Yoko.

I'm Shigeru, your Cousin.

Yoko, are you there?

Yoko?

Yoko, are you there?

It's been a while.

I was asked by Rie to contact her older sister because she can't get in touch with you.

My phone has broken.

Hm?

My phone broke yesterday.

You know,

Actually...

Uncle passed away yesterday.

Uncle passed away yesterday due to acute aortic dissection.

I don't know.

He had a crack in his aorta and collapsed.

It seems he had already lost consciousness when he was taken to the hospital.

He fought for half a day,

but he passed away last night.

The funeral will be tomorrow.

Rie will be the chief mourner.

You should come along too.

I'm heading to Aomori now, so come along with me.

We'll probably arrive before night.

Rie is asking to bring her older sister back with her.

Do you have mourning clothes? Well, it's sudden.

Even if you don't have them, we can figure something out once we get home.

Just pack what you need for the trip and come down.

Alright, I'll be waiting downstairs.

Yoko.

Yoko?

Hey... I'm coming in.

Let's go.

Where's your wallet?

Where's your phone?

If your phone is broken, is it okay?

It must be shocking for you, but pull yourself together.

Right?

Let's go, come on, stand up.

It's not good if you don't properly bid farewell to your dad.

Right?

I'll stay with you.

Is it a shock?

I just can't believe it.

Get on the back sit.

Here.

Do you know about this story, Yoko-san?

Yoko-san, It's Grandpa Akira

He's already gone from this world.

Haru?

Grandpa Akira...

Every time these kids go back to Aomori, they meet up with Uncle.

I still don't know how to explain it well, I'm having trouble understanding.

Prius, Sienta, Aqua.

Truck, truck!

Haru, have Kaito drink barley tea.

- I'm Going to take a nap. - Okay.

Ms. Yoko, I'm sorry it's noisy at a time like this.

If you need anything, please feel free to let me know.

Corolla Fielder, bike.

Kaito, come on, drink.

- Honda N-Box. - Hey, drink.

It's a mixer truck with a car carrier. I'll overtake it, wait, vroom!

- Mom, Kaito, lsnt drinking. - Crane truck.

- Fit, FJ Cruiser. - I don't know anymore!

Quietly, with a silver-colored belly bent at midday

a single fish passed overhead on the head.

- Clammbon is dead. - Bus, police car.

Yoko?

Yoko?

Do you remember? This song.

A white bouquet.

Didn't Uncle used to sing it often?

Long chestnut-colored hair.

The wind gently envelops.

The maiden holds a white bouquet to her chest.

Long chestnut-colored hair.

The wind gently envelops.

What, aren't you dead?

Yes, Haru-chan, get off.

Alright... alright Yes, yes, yes.

Oh, wow, skillful.

What's so funny? Did you buy this when you came?

Ah, make sure to hold onto it properly.

Oh, did he fall asleep? Did he fall asleep?

Did he fall asleep, or is he awake?

Heave-ho, there you go...

No, no, don't run. You don't need to run, you don't need to run!

I told you not to run...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

It's dangerous, so hold onto it properly.

Kaito, wait!

Ah, Haru-chan, go ahead and take it.

Huh, mom, wait!

Ah! Ah, sorry!

- Oh, Kaito! - Mom!

I've been here before.

I've seen photos taken with this sign before.

Maybe on the way back from Grandma's house.

Every year, family trip, We went by car, but you know

when it got stuck in traffic, Dad would quickly get frustrated and angry.

Just because Rie and I sang a song together, He said it was noisy.

He didn't need to express it in such a noisy manner.

I was so excited, but the joyful mood was instantly spoiled.

Those moments were truly the worst.

In general, it's terrible to say 'noisy' to a child.

Thinking about it now, I truly realize how rude it was.

Sigh... what is it?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

- Let's hurry. - Right.

Okay, Haru-chan, hop on the back And take off this jacket.

Alright, come come come.

Yes, yes, I'll close it.

Sit, sit.

- Yes. - Oh, it's Shigeru.

Hey, did you hear from Yoko?

Rie-chan's older sister, the eldest daughter...

Yes, Yoko.

I mentioned it to Aunt Akko earlier,

Yoko's phone might break, So she might contact you there.

So, because Yoko might call,

If that happens, please tell her I'll be waiting at Tomonobe Service Area.

Tomonobe Service Area.

Yes, okay, please.

After confirming the number, once again...

Tohoku Central Expressway.

Traffic congestion on and off for 3 kilometers from Soma Interchange to Kuwabara Junction.

I have conveyed it from the Tomonobe area of the Jōban Expressway.

Oh, I'm hungry.

- For now, the soft cream is... - Oh, that's nice, that's nice.

- Ah, I want to eat this. - Huh? What, what?

Excuse me.

I want to go to Aomori, could you give me a ride?

Ah, sorry.

- Huh, isn't it gross? - No way.

If you had the navigation on, We wouldn't have gotten lost.

It has nothing to do with navigation.

Why can't you turn it on? I don't understand the reason.

Isn't it pointless to have it on the car?

I want to go to Aomori, could you give me a ride?

Huh, what?

- Oh, to Aomori... - Huh... Yes?

I want to go to Aomori, could you give me a ride.

What?

You're mumbling, I don't understand what you're saying.

- You're scared, aren't you? - Shut up.

I want to go to Aomori.

I w... want to go, but could you give me a ride?

Aomori...I want to go,

On the way... I want to go all the way to Aomori,

Even if it's just part of the way Could you give me a ride?

Is it okay... yeah? I want to go to Aomori,

If it's okay, just partway Could you give me a ride?

What is it?

I want to go to Aomori,

Could you give me a ride? Um... even just partway is fine.

- Alright. - Huh?

It's now 1:52 PM This is IBE traffic information.

Japan Road Traffic Information Center, Aoki-san, please.

Yes, I will report it. On the Shuto Expressway's Misato Line,

There is a 6-kilometer traffic jam

From Kappin in the up direction To Misato Junction.

On the Jōban Expressway, on the downhill side near Hitachi Interchange,

The shoulder is restricted Due to a broken-down vehicle

Resulting in a congestion of about 500 meters.

Are you fine with traffic jam?

Near Iwaki Interchange, Due to construction,

The travel lanes are restricted, Resulting in a 1-kilometer congestion.

The Hokkantō Road is running smoothly.

Here's the situation on the local roads. On Route 6, going downhill towards Hitachi.

- She isn't there. - I see.

Shr might have taken a highway bus or something.

Yeah...

Or maybe... a train or something?

I give up.

Do you want me to take over driving?

No...

It doesn't matter whether I go there or not.

Anyway, I probably don't understand anything anymore.

Hey.

Dad, You gave up on me once, didn't you?
