After three years of marriage, we've finally begun the relaxed rural life we've always dreamed of together. We purchased a historic 50-year-old farmhouse on loan, located in a small mountain village about two hours from Tokyo by train. My wife seems extremely satisfied with the quiet countryside atmosphere and the refreshing, clean air. I share her excitement and am truly looking forward to this new chapter. There's also a local farmer named Yamashita who lives in the same town—a kind, dependable, and approachable man who's been very welcoming.
