Japan's country-side is already turning into ghost towns. This house sits on about an acre of rich farming land and it all sold for about 50K usd.

Guess I'll wait to hear that they're suddenly particularly welcoming in of immigrants. Retiring to rural Japan would be a crazy dream come true.
In my city of 30k we are contracting 75 Filipino English teachers. The walls are starting to come down, but immigrants still need a college skill set or marry to stay long term.
Lol "Filipino English"
Not funny, it's getting harder and harder to find teachers. Factory workers are getting paid better than English teachers recently, plus with the weak yen many city's are hurting to find teachers. I feel like I am in the human trafficking business.
It's not magic dirt. Japan is what it is because it's Japanese. Once it becomes welcoming of immigrants it will become just like every other country
I was raised in a desert, it's magic dirt! I throw seeds on the ground and they grow, it's magic dirt. I had to cut down 3m tall weeds that grew in one year, it's magic dirt. 😝
Another 50K will go into renovating that shack. If you want to live in some godforsaken hole, there are cheaper options in the world.
Its was already mostlyghost town 15 years ago 🥺
The few proud families hanging on were amazing though
