I'm curious, how rural is the area in Japan you're moving to? I read an article a while back saying that a lot of countryside areas are offering houses to citizens for suuuuper cheap (like ~$500USD cheap?) because of a bunch of different reasons
It's a good hour and a half by train to the nearest big city. It's not a big agricultural area, and there is definitely some modernization, but yes it's definitely one of those situations where they want people to move in, hence the outrageously low prices.
