I lived in the countryside. I’m fluent in Japanese but it took a while to get used to the accent as most rural places do have local dialects. Another important one - interpersonal relationships. If I find a neighbor in the city annoying, I can just avoid them, but in a super rural area, in a collectivist country like Japan, it sometimes isn’t an option. I do miss living there - I live in the desert now and I miss the green.

Thank you for sharing. It is very thought provoking. A friend of mine actually live in a large suburban district made up of good class residence houses, not a rural area, and he has some similar obligations. The community chest may have good intent but I think it is not good for any financial struggling families with kids and elder folks to take care. Every cent do count towards saving for the future. Now it makes me think whether younger folks prefer city living and avoid these obligations.

Both of the local traditions you spoke about sound wonderful. We are not even remotely considering moving to Japan, but the two traditions you briefed on sound like things which would be excellent for community building anywhere. We voluntarily participate in multiple local non-profit organizations in our area and give far more than $40/year to support people in need. We also regularly participate in community cleanup and beautification projects. It would be amazing if all ~50,000 people in our small city did so as well. Being helpful to others is rewarding for the individual and for the community.

In the general sense this sounds very similar to life here in rural Romania, public transport is three or four times a day, the local chest is the church chest, when a foreigner moves to the village everyone knows and talks about it(we have a chinese person here), no one knows english because most of them are old people, and we have just two grogery stores and a car wash. When you visit a village here you must respect the local customs, you must remove your shoes when entering a house, you must greet everyone you meet, and never refuse a drink or food as a guest (it is considered rude). But personally i don't mind that I love the tranquility and peace that comes with rural life. Fascinating how many things are soo similar for places soo far away.

I live in the countryside in Japan, in Gifu, and I truly hate it. I don’t have a car, and I am totally isolated. Specially coming from a really big city as Madrid, I have to adapt to Japan + adapt to the countryside. I just wish I could see your video before. Right now I’m just dreaming about moving ti Tokyo or going back to Spain if that’s not possible. I would add to you video the pressure of Japanese society to make all the people look the same, the “don’t be different” culture, is even stronger in Inaka. And that’s something that as a foreigner is hard to experience. Maybe I just had bad luck, the struggle is real.

Small community, service to community, regional customs and dialects, less focus on material activities, less congestion. Hmm, I seemed to have missed the deterrents. I was thinking issues would be more along the lines of maintaining property, buying, selling and transacting in Japan, living there without long term visa. I wonder how hard it would be to live there half the year as a tourist.

Thank you for your comment! It all depends on people I believe. Some people feel hard even to spend in the countryside in Japan one week. Others may feel comfortable even if they have lived there for over a year. So, It's a good idea to experience countryside life for half a year or so before making a big decision😉

Therefore the rural or countryside might be where your going to end up!! I believe in making the Best out of any situation 😊!! Going there and learning some of the different cultures and lego that they speak could help you adapt a little bit more better!! For me I prefer the rural any day over city life!!

I am an American who's thinking about moving to the Japanese countryside, or at least a rural area. It wouldn't be for a little while yet and I am currently learning how to read, write, and speak japanese with the help of online resources and also AI programs like ChatGPT. I honestly don't think I'd do well in a large city area like Tokyo because I've never been in a city even half that size and don't like noisy places made of concrete usually. I prefer small communities where I see the same faces everyday and there's enough nature to fall asleep to the sounds of crickets at night. I'm a creative person that spends a lot of time writing, drawing, or even designing video games, illustrations, and music on my computer. I'm not someone who enjoys going out to the bars or stores more than maybe once every couple of months or so so I really don't mind having a short 30-60 minute commute in order to go do so. As long as I have electricity, internet, and access to the ability to acquire in-home entertainment like video games then I'm more than content.

The one thing my employer noted in the job interview for the north of Japan (start in a few months), is that compared to the mega metropolises of Tokyo and Osaka, one isn't going to have an English bubble outside of some of the more populated cities like Sendai and Sapporo, so I would need to ensure I'm comfortable with being immersed "cold turkey" style in the Japanese language to avoid being even more isolated.

For me, most of these were actually positives. It's good to know about things like community chests (I might be wary of a stranger coming to my door and asking for money without knowledge of that kind of custom) but most of this just sounds like "prepare to be part of a community because it's a very small place". I think people would probably peg me as American immediately because if I had just moved to a small town and they were staring, I would say hello and introduce myself (In Japanese of course). The only negative would be still having to have a car, though if all the immediate needs were withing cycling distance, that would probably be fine for the first couple of years at least.

Even if you think you are different and you can take it, because of whatever reason, you are wrong. Don't do it. On an other note, Japan is such a fucking socialist society, I love it! People have respect and empathy for each other, and there is usually a sense of community.

The most concern might be the public services in inaka in a long run. As our gov't is cutting the fiscal more and more every year, you may not get your service when needed the most.

It is a challenge to live abroad so to live more remotely is a double-challenge and probably not a "best fit" for a lot of people as a consequence, apart from the fact, that cities or larger such areas benefit from agglomeration effect which means multiple services develop around each other which attracts more people ie cities. The opposite in rural areas applies: A tendency towards loss of such. However for the small select few, the rural scene might suit them as it is quieter, slower and more peaceful. Overall, the language barrier is most important? To have enough competence in Japanese speaking is probably important to develop in the first place. It was interesting learning about some of the social customs of the rural or regional areas of Japan such as money collections for the general good of the local area: I did not know that and think it is very community-spirited and good.

Living anywhere without knowing the language is challenging. I did this in Sicily and was able to do most everything by learning the money exchange and good gesturing. I never tried to speak and because my clothing matched locals, they naturally assumed I was a quiet & private man. The only thing that ever bother me while visiting was the extreme racisms toward one of my ship mates. I can only hope I do not encounter racist who shun others because they are different cultures or colors.

Thank you for asking! It depends on the house, so I'm not really sure, but not many people use a wood stove nowadays. Yes, we wear heavy clothes in winter. It's because we don't place any heater, for example, in the hallway. So not all places inside the house are warm, that's why people wear a lot even inside😉

What he thinks is poor public transport in rural areas is about standard for the UK outside London. Clearly we would be a home and better off!

As a foreigner, I have worked on a farm in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, and my experience is completely different. The farmer's president hurled abuses at will, was treated differently from local members, and was ridiculed by individual local members. It left an impression of being mean, harsh, and stingy.
