Totsukawa
7.3
High score (8-10)
Totsukawa is the largest village in Japan by land area — 672 square kilometers — but has one of the lowest population densities in the country, with around 3,000 people spread across mountain wilderness that takes 3+ hours from Osaka to reach by car. The hot springs here (Totsukawa Onsen group) and the Dorokyo gorge bring onsen travelers and kayakers, but visitor numbers are small and the place is genuinely remote. You come for the wilderness, not for people, because the people are few, scattered, and have their own community rhythms that have nothing to do with outsiders.
