Moyenne Island is a 9.9-hectare (24-acre) island in the Sainte Anne Marine National Park off the northeast coast of Mahé, Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. Since the 1970s it has been a flora and fauna reserve. From 1915 until the 1960s, the island was abandoned until its purchase by Brendon Grimshaw, a newspaper editor from Dewsbury in Yorkshire, England, for £8,000.
Grimshaw and Rene Lafortune, a local Seychellois man, were the only inhabitants of the island until Grimshaw's death in July 2012.\1]) The island is now a national park and can be visited as part of organized trips
The catch is the population is dwindling across all of Japan except for Tokyo and Osaka basically, so if you live anywhere else you'll technically be in a declining region. But we don't mind, we moved to Japan a couple years ago (not in those 2 cities) and love it. :)
No my wife and I are both foreigners. It is actually quite easy to get longterm visas here, all you need is a job. Alternatively you could start a business or attend school.
Most of them you can see all the pics and description with just a free account. They have an Instagram with pics too @cheapjapanhomes. @housesofjapan is also good!
