Well, we've got a busy couple of months ahead of us. In case you haven't read this introduction, we're looking to move out of the rat race and out into the middle of... somewhere. We're still not sure if it'll be Japan or the UK, but I have to say that Japan is looking more realistic at the moment. Back to the busyness. Tomorrow, Kazumi and I are heading up to Myoken to see a place we've been told about that's on the market. ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://www.out-of-the-blue.info/uploads/webphoto/photos/e00007e4b9838e415132.jpg");) I went up there with Paul the other day, and was surprised just how big 500 tsubo is (just under a half acre). The house would be lovely if it was tarted up, but it'd be several years worth of work (or several million yen's worth of builders' fees) to get it anywhere near good. The land is big enough for veg, but there's no forest to talk of, and we'd like a rice field too. Don't get me wrong. The land is a steal considering where it is. I'm just not sure that we could do what we want to do there. Anyway, that's tomorrow's plan. Sunday we're up at the crack of dawn and off to Nara to see one Mr. Kawaguchi (video). He's been farming a piece of land up there for the last 30 years, and has developed a special technique sometimes known as 'Natural Farming'. If you're familiar with Fukuoka san, you'll know what I'm talking about. ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://www.inaka-gurashi.co.jp/images2/bukkenn/02426/2.jpg");) Next weekend is going to be pretty busy too. We have a bunch of fudosan lined up in Okayama to show us some places that have caught our eye. What do you think of this for ¥2,800,000 ! I'll let you know how we get on. |

岡山県北東部は兵庫県と接しており、中国自動車道など関西方面との交通アクセスが良好。 北は中国山地を隔てて鳥取県と接している。水と緑豊かな地域で田舎暮らしの物件も豊富なところ。少し山間に入ればタイムスリップしたかのような懐かしい景色の処も少なくない。 岡山県南東部は兵庫県赤穂市 と接しており、山陽自動車道や山陽本線など関西方面との交通アクセスが良好。 海に接した備前市、瀬戸内市、町の大半を山林でしめる和気町と変化があり 、備前焼などの歴史ある文化が伝承されている地域。 県庁所在地である岡山市は平成21年4月より政令都市となりますます発展が期待されるが、少し郊外に行くとのどかな自然が残っている。 岡山市と接する赤磐市、久米南町、吉備中央町それぞれに異なる顔を持った便利さと自然の同居する地域。 |
