That child is going to grow up so loved by all his community and the wisdom he'll gain from all the elders of his community can't be matched to any university.
It happened, the village I used to live is swallowed by abandoned farm and forest nearby, Many years ago I pass by and decided drop in and have a look at my old grandparents village house and all I see is dilapidated village home, the route once used to be a farm and fruit orchard now is all covered by high bushes and forest..... Everyone has left the village....
While it is "sad" to see that, it generally means that the nation is doing okay and gravitating towards a more medium-high skill economy. Whether or not it is ready for it is another question entirely.
@@Zagaara Well here's another point: if this area has fallen into disrepair, it falls to third parties to incentivise investment into industry. Revitalise the village in terms of primary or secondary industry to boost economical feasibility either via grants or possible tax breaks. Happened in other countries so it should work here too.
@@xanderpiz8770 I'm not sure about the dying villages being "gravitating towards a more medium-high skill economy". It's more of a consequence of the declining birthrate. We are not turning villages into cities (higher economy); we're polarizing rural and urban areas even more due to migrations. 28%+ of Japan's population are aged 65 or older. That means not enough workforce to keep both the villages and cities growing. While the younger generations migrate to cities, and increases housing demands + strains urban infrastructure, the villages being devaluated to the point of ruins. It is sad.
"We are now paying the price" 😢 poor grandma.. I feel bad for her.. I will never leave my mum alone but if situation didn't help I will still visit her once in a while..
@@SkyJamieson "- and then they work and leave the village so they wouldn't be like us(here), and now i (on the moment) remember about this (things she said back then to the kids) again" Its like that LITERALLY, but never had she said paying the price
It's happening all over the world now, we in SEA too, send our kids to attend colleges in big towns and when they've completed their studies, they have no intention to stay in small villages and tiny towns where oppirtunities for self developement are rare. We parents woyld be happy if we get to meet together on certain big celebrations of the year like Chinese New Year
The Japanese government could maybe help incentivize and revitalize these small villages by inviting foreigners who know Japanese to move in and become residents. There are a lot of people who are leaving America these days and moving to Europe, Australia, and South East Asia.
@rkdo9554 although there is a negative effect for our still 3rd World countries' population to boom in the short run but in the long term, the few countries with massive populations will dominate the world in economics and also military.
@@Cataclyscerator There has to be an economic incentive to move to these smaller towns other than cheap or free housing (which is a massive incentive). There have to be jobs as well though.
@@ChickensAndGardeningrural areas was always for farming. Farmers were the riches group of people during the start of the Economic Miracle of Japan. Richer than factory workers, salarymen families. It was for the food security of the country. By 1960 after 1952 American occupation leaving, the country was 98% food secure.
The model of forcing all society to only getting an education and working in a professional office has caused this. We need society to be diverse in skills and not only work in professional Jobs, but also agriculture, manufacturing etc. Now everyone just wants to be salary person.
No, it was caused by wealth differences and lack of any investment in rural areas in japan combined with the soul crushing nature of work in japan causing falling birth rates
Nations sitting in agriculture based economies are usually ones that have low food security. The general cycle of national development means that once that is sorted, the focus turns towards societal advancement. You cannot convince people to look forward to the future if there is no opportunity for growth.
Nah, this is just how society developed. Agriculture and Manufacturing has become so efficient to the point we don't need that much people working in it, but this efficiency requires people educated in engineering, logistics, etc. Which is why demand for people with these skills is much higher
@@robrot404 you’re missing the point your so called ‘urbanization efficiency’ is causing a population decline. There is silent genocide happening against rural communities at the expense of urbanization and feeding the ever more growing urban major cities. I’m saying this because now that population is declining to the point where we can’t afford to pay and support pensions is this so called efficiency of urbanization worth it if our communities and populations are being wiped off the face of the earth? Governments need to have a real strategy for the whole countries and not just major cities.
I don’t think people see this town as not beautiful. My parents are in their 80s so I witness loneliness of old age. I see this as a lonely town. Yes people might be Less lonely with many neighbors in their own age. It is like senior housing, people have friend but still wish for their family. I think this is a large beautiful senior home. Beautiful or not depending on each person living there. Like when we are sad, our beautiful surroundings are not beautiful.
One positive thing about this village is that it's likely one of the safest places to live nowadays. Yes, it might be lonely but there's no crime. You can literally walk alone at night and be safe.
I bet it’s amazing now because at the moment that little boy barely needs schooling but I can imagine it’ll be hard to find a elementary school out there I hope he has luck being able to live in his hometown but still be able to meet kids his age in the future
The biggest question remains unanswered: Does he have other children to play with in a nearby village, Kindergarten or school? That's important for healthy development.
Trust me, living in the city as an only child in a family is really not much different from being an only child living in a remote village. Urban kids these days just want to be on their phone/tablets, they have been losing the ability to connect with another human being for a long time.
Don't know, but Sooner or later he will if he doesn't already. I don't think home schooling is really a thing in Japan, so he kind of has to start school when he hits that age. Plenty of kids live in isolated or rural areas, but commute to places where they can be around kids their age. In modern days with both cars and public transportation, very few places are truly isolated from the outside world. Also Japan isn't all that big of a country. You could drive from Fukuoka to Sapporo within 28 hours. He just has to get his friends from outside the village. And with modern tech, they could video chat all the time even when they weren't physically in the same place.
@@henkkahenrik4183 fair enough. We live in a rural area, too, and have two kids so they can play with each other. Now that they're teenagers, though, that also means a lot of driving for us.

Well look at the bright side, be friends with senior citizen is 100% worth it than children playing on smartphone and screen time. The nature, the history, learn to be matured, captured on traditional, the love, is very natural. as a children who grown-up with grandparents, i feel that too. ❤❤❤ it worth it, seriously No ! phone, no gadget, this is pure human life to lived soul.
Serious question, why do so many Japanese dislike rural life so much compared to the city? Is it not less stressful? Is the food and water not better quality? Is it not cheaper? So many foreigners dream of this kind of life, yet Japanese seem to abandon it. 🤔🤔
2:42 the answer to your question is here. An entire generation left home and never came back. Hopefully the next generation will tire of the rat race and return to these places before they all disappear 🤷♂️

There’s actually a recent video I saw that talks about how people are ostracised and bullied in small towns and villages. It’s often that the people who were bullies in school end up becoming the town chief and power structures remain for the rest of their lives there. Horrifying for a lot of people
@@神崎アオイ-o4oI've watched it, the family have limited privacy. there is also a youtuber, a young Japanese girl moving to rural area, she got stalked by the villager.
I hope the kid wont suffer the bullying made to outside people trying to upgrade small villages. I was there one month ago, it was remote, too quiet, no restaurant around. Japan has a very long way to revitalize those regions and it start by changing the culture

Young people need to move back to simple life. Why work 60 hours a week to make the rich richer, get yelled at and still cant afford to start a family. When you could live in a beautiful village with clean air and sweet people. Young people need to move there, open small village school, community center, etc. They would genuinely feel happier
You know, this is what I had, especially my puppet - Clifford and, while it is nice to have a real person, puppets are AMAZING too. He'll get a great bond with them! 🤗
@shamemeadams1872 that's my comment. Not everything can be pinned on 'judging'. Perfect excuse to demonise others, and victimise themselves. Just a comment, calm down.
Eventually, Kuranosuke will also need interaction with kids his age. This might lead to him also leaving the village to attend university or high school in a city in the future. I can already imagine how bittersweet that moment will be, both for Kuranosuke and the whole village.
This is dystopian on another level. Reminds me of the episode on spellbinder Season 2 where everyone don't have children anymore and created robots dressed as humans to accompany them and everyone fights over Cathy as she's the only real child they've seen in a while.
I've been here. It's really hard to get to, and the road is a little dangerous. This is pretty much the same with all declining villages. People simply have better options, so they go, especially when they are young. I suspect that little boy will resent his parents' decision when he gets older. There is no school in the village. He will have to travel far everyday or move closer to the school. He won't have any friends or young family for support. His life will be lived in a car or alone. It's a cute story, but it changes nothing if he is the only child.
To think that this child will come back to this village in 10-20 years to see where he was born, only to realize he was the last child in an aging community that most likely won’t be around by the time he’s an adult. Lots of rural communities disappearing, it’s sad to see
Almost like a fairy tale. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.
Perhaps Japanese government could help rehabilitate these dwindling villages by allowing foreigners who know Japanese to immigrate to Japan and move into these village as citizen residents.
Seldom covered are stories of townspeople driving families of youngee couples away due to "bullying" in some rural communities, hope this gets addresses soon.
This is sad, that kid is like the shining light for them all! The puppets tho, I would be freakin out walking alone at night with many puppets everywhere! Yeah I watch horror movies 😆 Hopefully their kids and grandchildren would return to the village more often from the city!
I hope the young people in my generation and younger that have no desire for the urban life move to these rural areas. They can fulfill their wishes of a slower different kind of hard working life growing vegetables and fruits, and being more self sustainable. While they also enjoy the company of the aging population who needs warmth and love too
De verdad parece una de las películas de studio ghibli , del mismísimo hayao miyazaki. Un pequeño niño y sus padres llegan a vivir al campo pero todos sus vecinos son alegres pero raros muñecos de trapo Por otra parte estudiar la población es un tema complicado sin duda. En todos los países sus pequeños pueblos quedan demasiado olvidados
This is so sad, clearly the elderly are abandoned, it's a systematic problem where people are taught to value having careers over a family and make it very difficult financially to raise children. Man made systems will always work against people, it is unnatural to not have kids
@@amithasupun5971never ever, especially not for muslims. Migration is disgusting 🤮🤮🤮 it destroys the culture of a country. Look on western europe, you will understand what i mean 🤮🤮🤮
I wish I could contest your comment, but what you are saying is true. I have been watching Japanese explorer videos and the number of abandoned villages is very concerning… some of them look like the inhabitants simply walked away leaving everything behind.
Japan should follow China's way by replicating the rural revitalization project. Govt helps and asks young productive to start project to revitalize the villages economy by promoting local products and tourism. All done with creativity and technology.
yeah indonesia is overpopulated with youth and causing serious age discriminations in job recruitments and also a huge problem for job seeker industry cuz there are way more job seeker than job supply in the market, people gotta stop making childrens when they are bored with nothing to do & end up with poverty cuz too many kids to feed in the family
That child is going to grow up so loved by all his community and the wisdom he'll gain from all the elders of his community can't be matched to any university.

More than 10 years ago, I've seen a Japanese Horror movie set at a similar village but with straw puppets.
I hope the young people in my generation and younger that have no desire for the urban life move to these rural areas. They can fulfill their wishes of a slower different kind of hard working life growing vegetables and fruits, and being more self sustainable. While they also enjoy the company of the aging population who needs warmth and love too
More puppets than residents! Damnd...
This is so cute
De verdad parece una de las películas de studio ghibli , del mismísimo hayao miyazaki. Un pequeño niño y sus padres llegan a vivir al campo pero todos sus vecinos son alegres pero raros muñecos de trapo
Por otra parte estudiar la población es un tema complicado sin duda. En todos los países sus pequeños pueblos quedan demasiado olvidados
How sad. Needing puppets for companionship
And still No School then?
That's kind of scary
This is so sad, clearly the elderly are abandoned, it's a systematic problem where people are taught to value having careers over a family and make it very difficult financially to raise children. Man made systems will always work against people, it is unnatural to not have kids
Imagine thoese dolls started moving at mid night 😂
I Want to live this village with my childs
Children's fairy tale???....idk man sounds like a horror movie setting 😰
Do the puppets move at night?
I think they would’ve done a better decor with mannequins
This needs to go viral all over Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China...East Asia is quickly aging and declining 😢
What about open gate to immigrants.. that need to be viral in east asia..
@@amithasupun5971never ever, especially not for muslims. Migration is disgusting 🤮🤮🤮 it destroys the culture of a country. Look on western europe, you will understand what i mean 🤮🤮🤮
Bro? I thought this place was abandoned, and the last woman built all off her passed neighbors
Different village
Amazingly sad
The father is handsome
These towns are pretty much doomed.
I wish I could contest your comment, but what you are saying is true. I have been watching Japanese explorer videos and the number of abandoned villages is very concerning… some of them look like the inhabitants simply walked away leaving everything behind.
Sounds like the backstory of a naruto villain
He will be Sasori in the future, he can train using the puppets from the village already.
Looks like a horror movie location
Little pinks are trying to find their butterfly grandma in the village.🤣🤣
While a fake "chinese" like you is trying to find its way out of its dank dungeon
@@DavidFoo-kh4ri Fake take a look at your own account Wubot.😜
Japan should follow China's way by replicating the rural revitalization project. Govt helps and asks young productive to start project to revitalize the villages economy by promoting local products and tourism. All done with creativity and technology.
Did anyone else think of Professor Layton?
A Rhinosuraus and Panda for your village ? Rugby
But in Indonesia you still can find so many children in town even in rural villages.. 😂😂 , it is our common tradition to having kid
😅😢😂
yeah indonesia is overpopulated with youth and causing serious age discriminations in job recruitments and also a huge problem for job seeker industry cuz there are way more job seeker than job supply in the market, people gotta stop making childrens when they are bored with nothing to do & end up with poverty cuz too many kids to feed in the family
Everybody wants an easy office job and no longer wants to work the land that if properly cultivate will make them millionaires.
Just move there people lovely
all i see is a script for a new horror movie
