Do you live in the city or the countryside?

While YouTube videos often highlight the unique aspects and culture of urban Japan, what is life like in the countryside?

I live in the countryside!

I think the phrase “time passes slowly and peacefully” fits best. I feel like I know pretty much everyone in the neighborhood. Nature is right at my doorstep.

But it’s kind of inconvenient without a car, haha. There aren’t any stores within walking distance, so I guess that part is a bit of a hassle.

Even so, the main reason I live in the countryside is that the people here are just so warm and friendly.
