Ahh the classic Okasan shenanigans ;) There is SO MUCH green in your photos, look at the view! What you wrote about the next generation being short on farmers is very serious. When I visited japan (the cities, not rural towns) I noticed how things opened very late too!

The views are amazing 🤩

Some rural local governments are providing incentives for young families to move in, but they are the exception, not the norm. I do hope a trend will start though!
