Reasons to live in Japanese countryside

Living in the countryside gives you an amazing experience. There are many advantages of living in the countryside but recent people, especially young generation, don’t realize the attractiveness. Especially, Japan has 48 prefectures and each of them has completely different colors, but people tend to live in Kanto area (Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa). I would like to propagate amazingness of countryside. I cannot introduce each prefecture in the details, but I would like to explain the top 3 advantages of living in the countryside.

1, The beauty of Nature

　This is the main reason why everyone visits the countryside. No matter which country it is, nature relieves your stress and enriches your heart. In addition, Japan has 4 seasons and the nature is completely different in each season. In summer, you can enjoy the sea and mountains. In fall, you can enjoy autumn leaves. In winter, you can enjoy snow

2, Local Specialty

　Also, local produce is one of the features as well. The climate is completely different depending on each prefecture, so you can enjoy various kinds of food in each area. My favorite local specialty is Gyoza in Tochigi prefecture. There are Gyoza restaurants everywhere in Japan, but the ones in Tochigi are unbelievably different from others, in terms of taste, smell and so on. If you have a chance to go to Tochigi, try it!

3, No Financial Stress

　Financial issues could make you stressful and frustrated. Everything is cheaper in the countryside than in the city. I am not talking about just rent and food. When you do something in Tokyo, for example, you have to use money such as transportation fee, food, shopping and so on. But you can enjoy with nature in the countryside.
