Sayō
6.9
Lower score (below 6)
Sayō is a rural agricultural town of about 19,000 near the Okayama border in western Hyogo, known locally for cosmos flower fields in autumn. More significantly, the SPring-8 synchrotron and SACLA free-electron laser — among the world's most powerful scientific instruments — are located here in otherwise deep countryside. The scientists who use these facilities live and socialize elsewhere. Beyond that research footnote, Sayō has no social infrastructure and no reason to detour here.
