Taketa
8.7
Lower score (below 6)
Oka Castle ruins sit dramatically on a ridge above the city and the old merchant streets have enough atmosphere to pull Japanese tourists for a day. Population is around 20,000 and declining sharply, with the mountain location cutting it off from the rest of the prefecture. Looks great in photos, offers very little for someone trying to build a social footprint. The people who live here chose quiet, and that's what you'll get.
