"I've interacted with people of all ages traveling to rural areas in Japan and across the world.
I grew as a person, including the ability to deal with changes," said Shotaro Ichihashi, a 32-year-old freelance consultant and a digital nomad worker.
After leaving a major information technology company in 2017, Ichihashi decided to live without stable housing in order to cut fixed costs.
The lifestyle of those nomad workers is supported by cheap accommodations for a long-term stay that have popped up recently throughout Japan.
"Even if your annual salary is 1 million yen, you can live comfortably since the cost of living (for nomad workers) is 300,000 yen," said Lifull President Takashi Inoue.
