That was an excellent article relating to the author, and more broadly the rural areas of Japan. Any chance for higher-red images here?

So, basically it's Twin Peaks but it's in Japan.

nice article, i have not been to Japan, but it reminds me of my pilgrimage to durango mexico, where they filmed the old cowboy movies.i even went to a ranchs ruins complete with a well, that was pretty nice, some people live there mostly on agriculture and animal breeding, though a lot have relatives working in the usa ajd sending them money.
( for full disclosure i have relatives in that state including the rural areas , the older 9nes have worked as extras in cowboy movies)

I haven't had the chance to read the full article due to time restraints but the topic does interest me so I plan reading it fully when time allows it.

I hope to visit this area some day.

it's nice also how silent hill game drew this parallelism between isolated rural towns of america and japan heh, after all it is the most renowned survival game on a mountain area

Genuinely curious what the author did while he was there--it's a tiny village, literally takes less than half a day if all you're doing is sight-seeing. Is there some aspect of the place that is worth the extra stay?
