slimeypete 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Who here is in the most remote inaka place I wonder? Certainly not me, but I'm interested to know if any of you people are in the middle of nowhere! Link to post Share on other sites
rajeem 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Not me but I have a friend in Gifu who is almost in the middle of nowhere - village of 500, nearest decent shop many many miles away. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Zwelgen's in Iiyama - which certainly ain't the middle of somewhere. What about you barok? Is your new place more remote than Iiyama? Link to post Share on other sites
the black adder 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Iiyama isn't very inaka. I have a friend from the US who lives really in Fukushima inaka, very remote area. Small village. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I make fun of my buddy in Konan - a suburb of Nagoya in Aiichi-ken. He's amongst the rice fields.. Used to live in Fujinomiya-shizuoka. Pretty inaka! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Sorry, but, what's inaka? Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Inaka gaijin - what do you do? English teacher? Do kids (maybe adults, too) point at you and say "ara....gaijin da!!!" It's happened to me many times! Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I know someone in Matsunoyama in Niigata - very inaka. Surrounded by rice fields and insects for company. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I think one of my friends in Toyama probably beats many on that one. About 30 minute drive to the nearest small village that has basic shops. Seriously inaka. Beautiful area. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I've driven through some inaka places and really wondered what these people do for shopping and entertainment. And I don't mean Gucci footwear and perfume, I mean tinnies of beer and bread. Link to post Share on other sites
cakehead 0 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 My friend is right in the middle of nowhere in Yamagata. I don't know how he survives up there. Link to post Share on other sites
