A mysterious man named Yosuke Ichinose lives alone in his family’s now‑closed hot spring inn in the small rural town of Nishigaya Onsen. While taking over his missing father's detective work, he spends most of his time developing new inventions. In fact, he once succeeded in the United States in researching how to convert “negative emotions” into energy.

Today, Japan's castles attract over 20 million visitors annually from both within the country and abroad, sparking an unprecedented "castle boom." Towering central keeps, majestic tiled roofs, and formidable stone walls—these three iconic features create a castle style unlike any other in the world. How did such a distinctive form come to be?
Through the lens of cutting-edge research, the program delves into the "architectural revolution" ignited by Oda Nobunaga, the dominant and influential warlord of the 16th century. Although Nobunaga is best known for his relentless battles and expansion of power, he was also devoted to constructing numerous castles. At a time when most fortresses were made by carving into natural hillsides, he broke convention by surrounding his castles with multiple layers of stone walls and adorning them with golden decorative tiles. These bold innovations are now being uncovered at excavation sites. Recent scientific investigations also suggest that Nobunaga may have built Japan's first high-rise castle tower right in the heart of Kyoto. This towering structure likely served as a visual symbol of his authority.
The program draws from advancing archaeological digs and new scientific analyses. It uses state-of-the-art virtual production techniques and immersive dramatizations. The result is a look at Nobunaga's lesser-known side—a visionary who aimed to reshape an era through castle architecture.

A mortality rate of 98.4% (*), a "Death Zone." This is the area within 500 meters of the hypocenter in Hiroshima where the atom bomb was dropped. Yet even here, 78 people miraculously survived. What did they experience that day? How did they live after the war? From the 110 hours of interviews recorded in the 1970s and 80s that NHK was allowed access for the first time, the survivors tell their tales. Their shocking experiences and the things they saw are then scientifically visualized with help from the latest technology and computer graphics. The details reveal horrific destruction of nuclear weapon use that not even the US army at the time was aware of.
