What is life in the "Inaka" (Japanese countryside) REALLY like?

We interview the awesome ‪@bitsii‬ (Bethany Nakamura) on what life is really like in an old "kominka" (traditional Japanese farmstead), deep in Shikoku's rural countryside - what are the challenges, both physical and mental? What are the locals like? How to deal with Japanese social hierarchies? Who is this lifestyle suitable for (or not)? Is it all worth it? Tune in for one of our best interviews yet! (originally recorded for the ‪@JapanRealEstate‬ YouTube channel)
