It's similar, although maybe not quite as rural. It's actually a tourist town, but about half of it is all farmland. If you want to buy anything big (as in not groceries or trinkets), you have to take a train to Oita city or a bus to Beppu. If you stay off the main road, it's generally very quiet. And if you stay here long enough, people will genuinely befriend you and invite you for drinks and whatnot (if you don't stay here long, they'll just assume you're a tourist).

On the weekends, it's nice to just walk around and enjoy the scenery or try local restaurants. My boyfriend is from Beppu, so he can take me around to places he knows from there. There's also a mountain that you can go to and hang out with monkeys. That's about it, though. It's a really nice, quiet town that's a train ride away from some really nice big cities.
