Rural flight is a problem all over the world. Japan has the highest proportion of elderly people than all other countries, and most young people move to the metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka to seek economic opportunity. Rural towns and villages are disappearing rapidly, and elderly residents dominate those that remain. Farms and other rural industries disappear as a result.

While this trend seems inevitable, there are many citizens and foreign residents of Japan working hard to find ways to preserve rural economies and cultures. Unexplored Japan is committed to showing the value of these places. Here are  bunch of resources. Please comment.
