God DAMN. It's not even a Japanophile thing, these pictures are beautiful. It's like they got the perfect balance between civilization and nature. In my country "rural" means absolutely flat terrain as far as the eye can see and maybe a couple of trees here and there.

Japanese dude here, visiting for god knows what reason. I saw a nice picture, actually. It is a really nice country, and the people are mostly very kind, respectful, and honest. Many are strict and follow etiquette rules very closely. It is indeed an expensive country, but it is quite worth it. A delicious meal of mackerel and napa stew can be served in america for upwards of ten dollars, wheras its considered a poor mans meal in japan. I would recommend, for the wealthy, tokyo or another large city purely due to the amazing shopping and entertainment. Especially for younger ones. For more relaxed or less financially stable people, moving to japan is a great choice, as you will be mostly free of the worry of western politics (or any, for that matter..) and even possible be eligible to learn from a shinto monk. I stayed for quite some time myself, but sadly the rest of my english sided family lives in New Orleans, and i couldnt stay.

Let it be said that standards are high, as well. It may be a wonderful place too, but no country has met the darkness and lurid culture of japan either. Making enemies there is not a wise idea, and unfortunately being unhealthy or too attractive will pretty much end your chances of marriage there. Note that the above does not apply to moderate black people. Ugly is ugly, but "The land of young women" Is short on them, and yes, most japanese people are rather unsatisfying in bed (men). Thank god im not mr pencil wang over here. Lets just say that seven is good there, and if youre like me and are not only well endowed but really fit, ect, you will pretty much have an amazing time there. Seriously. I got mobbed, almost literally.

Thats not a good thing sometimes though. I REALLY wanted to eat my soba in peace that day.

Plan ahead my friends! Secure a small house, as all of them are nice, choose a slightly rural area, and counting the plane ticket, unless you plan on working or earning money there, have at least one thousand set aside per couple weeks. Also, knowing basic japanese is useful, but most there know a tad of engrish.

If you are normal and such, it is nice. However, being a bit too lucky will literally grant you no time alone in the city areas. That, and trust me from experience, even my dad (born and raised japanese, pure genetics, ect..) warned me before i went, Japanese woman will not only FIGHT for things.. but god damn if some creepy shit gonna happen to you if you try and ignore them. People get away with funny shit, but you will often find yourself in rather unconfortable situations there...

A bicycle, scooter, or moped will serve you best for transit. Have a basket on it though, for stuff. The living there is excellent, should you make a few investments into a nicer house and be a cheap person with airplane ticketing. To find a place, simply learn some japanese, get on that scooter thing you rented or bought (bringing one is hard) and ask for directions to a nearby town. Go there, and simply go around asking people, making polite conversatio explaining that you are visiting from wherever you are from. Soon, should you bring it up often, someone should offer you or lead you to a nice space. If not, small hotels are common. Also, feel free to eat there. I have eaten five full meals per day there and gotten healthier. The food will expire fast so good cooking skills are needed. You may have to shop for grocery daily.

So long as you dont choose the "polaroid view" most likely full of grand famous hotels, you should have about the same price, give or take a little depending on how you live, of living. The city is usually more expensive, but urban towns are moderate. Price wise though, try to avoid the malls of tokyo. Holy hell, it was five hundred yen for some vending machine yogurt soda..

While some areas are home to a few plants of a western origin, most rural areas are fine. Rural usually means countryside, and has plenty of rice feilds, or if you are unlucky, industry. Japanese plants tend to be very hardy and resistant. Take bamboo and kudzu for example. They mess over america, and yet are unhindered in japan. Its usually no problem there. There tend to be many, MANY trees and a few dead bodies (especially the suicide forests of mount fuji) but usually you will find a dirt path. Try and bring a few trinkets to leave at any shrine you pass. It is a nice feeling to do that. Otherwise, they are usually like any other forest, albeit a bit less cluttered and jungle like. more just a bunch of trees and grasses.

Any of those of you familiar with rural Japan have any idea about what region/village Sotoba from Shiki is based off of? There are lots of background shots with posterized photographs of buildings and such (kinda small in this spread but you can see a bunch and I'm not about to look through the whole thing for specific examples). I get the feeling that, much as with Higurashi, it was based off an actual location.

I like the landscapes of rural Japan, also central Europe (Switzerland, Southern Germany, parts of France). To me: green, fantastical forests with a sense of ancient history and magic are where I want to be. I come from Illinois which has to be the fucking flattest place on earth. If I drive out from my suburban wooded river-valley area into the heart of the state, it is just perfectly flat horizons of corn and soy, run down everything, ugly early-to-mid 20th century storefronts, barns, etc.

Yeah, compared to the Europe and the Orient, America doesn't have much in the way of old historical beauty. The natives were primarily nomadic or lived in temporary dwellings so they left a bunch of dirt mounds. The early American dwellings were pretty much log cabins or bland wood-frame houses. The cities obviously have more to offer. But going out to the country you aren't going to find majestic ancient temples tucked away in hillsides. You're just going to find grain elevators, old barns, Walmart, and lowest-bidder pre-fab houses/churches.

Well it depends on the type of killer you're more interested in. Rural America is better for the angry inbred hillbilly with a mask and machete that has a torture chamber somewhere on his property type thing. This one might even be a rapist too.

I really don't even know how people find the will to exist in central North America. My family and I drove through Wyoming once while we were moving across the country. There was scarcely a hill or a mountain for *miles*. Just cows, fucking cows everywhere. It was the most banal and disgustingly plain landscape I have ever been subjected to

My mother is preparing to move out to Wyoming. She and her husband find it ideal. I told them not to expect me to visit often. I just can't stand open spaces. Desert, plain, oceanside, rocky mountains, all horrify me. I NEED a canopy of green over my head. So much so that I vehemently want a natural burial when I die, somewhere in a verdant forest, so that my biomass can return to the trees rather than being locked in a sealed box or wastefully burnt.

You could always invest in a wonderous tomb in a setting similar to the pic you have. That way no one will know you are there and you could preserve your body.

maybe I can scan in what my rough draft tomb looks like later to give you an idea.
You and I could have nice forested mounds over our tombs, just like the ancient Japanese mound builders, whose mounds still exist in thousands in Japan today.

Can we get some Japanese Mound scenery in this thread please....

But I'm not saying I want to preserve my body. I'm saying I want my biomass to return to the natural cycle.

>Traditional Burial
>Energy and resources consumed to harvest raw materials to make casket (wood and metal) and concrete box.
>Energy and resources consumed to assemble and finish said boxes
>Body drained of blood and pumped full of preservatives (energy and resources required for those too, not to mention the process).
>Energy/resources spent in procession.
>Body sealed away within box within concrete box. Precious biomass is lost to the world.

>Cremation
>Energy spent to gather resources to generate energy necessary to cremate body.
>Precious biomass is destroyed, leaving behind carbon and releasing pollutants.

From either a naturalistic spiritual or a cold mathematical perspective, these two methods seem terribly wasteful.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 9 19:32:48 2012 No.9851997 >>9848456 Technically trees get all of their carbon from carbon dioxide in the air, so you'll get returned to the trees faster if you're cremated than left out to rot.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 9 21:43:21 2012 No.9852445 >>9851861 Then don't use a coffin. Just have them bury you as you are.
