Rice, Flowers, and Water

Although Rent Life Co., Ltd. is a real estate agency with a branch in Shin-Yokohama, which is a major entertainment, business, and transportation hub in Yokohama, our head office and roots are based in a small rural town of Nagano Prefecture.

Yes, we operate in a more urban environment as well as do the majority of our customers, both Japanese and folks from overseas. But some of our staff actually commute to Yokohama from rural areas of Kanagawa and even as far away as Nagano Prefecture.

Here are some shots of a rural neighborhood in Japan. Compared to some rural areas of countries on the continents, or the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, these shots are not so rural after all. But when compared to Yokohama and Tokyo, we might call these places in Japanese as "inaka" (田舎) which means rural or countryside in English.
