I learn something new and it is very important, currently, in Japan, 50% of the population was aged over 65. The youth are increasingly want to leave their home (villages) because to pursue their passions in the city. Now remain in their villages is just the elderly people who just continue living the rest of their lives.

What will happen in 10 -20 years are thousands of villages will disappear from the map of Japan.

OMG... I still want to see my villages...

Now they are launching eco-tourism in rural communities which still remain and generate income through tourism and hospitality.
