The catch is that rural Japan is a a shithole rife with xenophobia, privacy violations, bullying, and problematic neighbors. And that's for ethnically Japanese people, so it's be way worse if you were actually a foreigner.
There's a reason why people in Japan try so hard to move away from rural areas into cities.

What kind of privacy violations? Do the neighbors peek into your windows?

Panty theft, naturally.

Can't tell if the way small minded bigots stay away from the best parts of every country is a fun coincidence or causal.

I read a while back, a testimony from someone who grew up in small town America and then moved into the city when they were older. They explained that there is a lot of indoctrination against "cityfolk" because it's largely used as a scapegoat. As city dwellers tend to be more progressive due to their heightened social stimulation, this leads a lot of small-towners to hate the idea of progress

The issues with city people go way beyond just progress.
