TOKUSHIMA – Web designer Ryohei Asada was a city slicker born in cosmopolitan Osaka but now lives deep in the mountains of rural Kamiyama in Tokushima prefecture.
The 31-year-old’s not-so-humble abode – an airy four-bedroom detached house with a small farm that costs him just 10,000 yen (S$108) a month in rent – is located 600m above sea level.
