Japan · tropical

🌍

Miyakejima is a village of roughly 2,400 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Japan. The climate is tropical. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,600. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for diving, hiking, quiet days.

È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. I prezzi degli alloggi sono rimasti fermi negli ultimi cinque anni, cosa ormai rara.
