Whenever you mention Japanese trains everyone immediately says, #Shinkansen! but Japan is covered in 100's Kms of single track railways that have one man operated, single coach trains running regular services.
You mainly see old people & school kids on them.
Lovely way to travel.

Turtles Amok! The local colony like to gather under a bridge over the #HanamigawaRiver. It seems that they were having a party, feeding frenzy, or something else (mating season?). #turtles #reptiles #japanwildlife #iPhone14pro #ChibaPrefecture #RuralJapan
Affordable properties in Japan's small towns may appeal to some, but investors should be aware of issues like population decline and limited jobs. Clear objectives are key to avoid unprofitable ventures.
