Jul 10 (Life Where I'm From) - The more I visit the inaka "countryside" of Japan, the more I wonder about how these areas will weather the ageing and depopulation trends.
Fortuitously, this project — which is sponsored by the Japanese government and d:matcha — fell in my lap. I had free rein to talk about a topic related to Wazuka and tea, so I chose to investigate the effort being made to revitalize the area and how it's longtime residents feel about newcomers.
