Dedicated otaku have managed to find the real life locations for peaceful countryside anime Non Non Biyori Repeat, showing that the lush greenery present in the anime was just as verdant in real life – with the impending mass tourism hopefully to prove less of a nuisance to citizens than usual due to the vastness of the area.
Uhhh yea Japan may be the Holy Land and all that, but when I went, it was for the big cities, heritage sites and popular nature spots, not for the shitty sticks out in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
Smaller towns and most villages are just moldering away into oblivion, are boring and don’t make an effort to improve. They just dump construction material and flotsam into empty spaces, don’t paint anything and the result is just a depressive grayness to it all.
Compared to the big cities, where everything is clean and modern and 0_0, or the tourist traps like Tsumago where the old stuff is old but well-maintained and very nice to look at indeed
I want to live there.
Landscape porn. Enjoy it now before they start censoring it.
This is why they should never reveal how they got the image…eeek Place looks like it could use a wash and clean-up.

No cell signal though
makes it even more a wonderful place to live.
