Dec 08, 2017 25m Season 8

Overview

The setting is Chichijima Island in the Ogasawara Islands, a 24-hour boat ride from Tokyo. The approximately 2,000 islanders look forward to the weekly delivery service. Thanks to the rapid expansion of online shopping, even this island, 1,000 kilometers from the mainland, receives all kinds of goods. Recently, the number of people moving to Chichijima from the city has been increasing. Who receives what items? For approximately three days until the deliveries are completed, we follow the delivery truck closely. We look into the lives of the people behind the small packages.
