I was slightly worried about getting a rural placement because I don’t drive an automobile. Then it hit me; people have lived in rural Japan since at least few decades before cars existed. How did they get around? On horseback, by jove!
Therefore, I have decided to procure my own steed for personal transportation. Would it be better to bring a horse to Japan, or purchase one after my arrival? Do most schools have somewhere to stable your horse? How expensive is horse feed in Japan? Which breed is most useful for daily commuting?
