Ep. 5: Hayato attempts to persuade reluctant candidate Tsuranuki Daimonyama to become a Shinkalion driver

5

A third candidate for Shinkalion driver, Tsuranuki Daimonyama, resides in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Hayato and his friends travel to Tokyo for a day-long sightseeing tour to convince him to accept the role. Despite Hayato’s enthusiasm for showcasing recommended railway locations, Tsuranuki remains uninterested. He explicitly states that neither trains nor standard sightseeing in Tokyo appeal to him. The group struggles to find common ground or motivation to change his mind during their excursion, as Tsuranuki shows no desire to become a driver despite their efforts to engage him with the city's attractions.
