🇯🇵 Japan Population Decline Impacts Rural Festival 🇯🇵
Local residents and university students dressed in festival costumes tow a traditional floating cart during the annual Houkabe Shrine Summer Festival at the remote village of Miyanomae on August 04, 2024 in Tambasasayama, Japan. Villagers in the remote mountains of Miyanomae get help from university students to maintain the traditional festival as their village has a small youth population. Population decline and aging in rural Japan has significant impacts on local festivals and the maintenance of their tradition. Japan’s population is about 124 million people of which 29.1% are 65 or older.

Dream of living in a hundred years old house in Japan.
Abandoned a 100-years old house in the countryside and turned it into a light multi-business facility. It is named Tamba Creative HUB.

It is located in the village of Aogaki, which has many abandoned houses. Aogaki is a village that has started to become isolated due to declining birth rates and migration to urban areas.
