>I have seen a photo book of old Japanese farm houses, all wooden very neat, small but cool. If you had those many houses you could deconstruct a couple and build a nice place.

My daughter and I went backpacking in Japan in 2018 and stayed on a small island off of Shikoku. 20 people lived there, almost all over the age of 70. There are more than 100 houses there, 75% of them are empty. The sea there is so filled with fish that just one frozen shrimp on a hook will catch a large fish within 10 seconds. There’s areas to grow rice and other crops as well (only problem is that there are wild boars on the island that dig them up).

Imagine having a place like that to one’s own!

When I got that first feedback looked on line and was amazed at what was available and thought that would be so cool, but then the old Realator line hit me, location location location. Kind of surprising that those millions living in Tokyo don’t have a weekend place to get away from the city for a few days.

Of course Japan would not let us in, but I would love to go there and live in a small village with some like minded people. I understand that the stargazing is superb off the coast of Japan
