Kōge
8.5
Lower score (below 6)
Koge is one of several small towns in the Tagawa district that has been in population decline since the coal era ended. There's a local agriculture sector, but the economic reality is that this is a depressed rural community by Japanese standards. Social infrastructure beyond a few convenience stores and local shops is thin. A foreign man here is operating without any of the usual advantages that come with urban anonymity or a tourism economy — you're simply an outsider in a very closed community.
