Several small towns and villages are using creative ideas to attract young families and small businesses to move to the countryside. Kamiyama city's Green Valley initiative is one of them.

Mishima's offer of free cows and paying for dates is an interesting one :o)

Echigo Tsumari Art Field and its Arts Triennial exhibitions show a unique idea for attracting people to a rural area and keeping the rural economy going.

Several villages in Shikoku are offering high speed internet connections at low rates to get small companies to move software development to those places. Given the communication skills of some developers here, there is no difference whether they work in Akihabara or in hermitages :p.

I used to take young volunteers to plant rice and shovel snow in rural Japan. Some day, I might be able to move there and form a small IT business. who knows!
