    I’ve been watching this channel about a Canadian couple moving to a little village in Japan. The locals have been very welcoming. They’re renting a home from a local who were apparently very happy to have them.

    I’m sure small town attitudes happen. They happen everywhere. I’m just not sure Japan is uniquely bad.

      I watch them too. And there’s another similar channel of a single young (American, I think?) woman who’s doing the same thing. And again, the locals are very welcoming - I suspect this depends on whether the newcomers are making an effort to integrate, learn the language, etc.

      Idk. Why go to Japan if you want to live in a village when you can go go to Thailand.
