Life in Otsuchi ?

Hi Reddit

I have a unique job opportunity which could take me to Otsuchi in Japan for a year or two. Cool! I wonder can anyone tell me what it’s like there? All the YouTube links I find are about hiking or the tsunami in 2011.

I understand it’s a rural part of Japan and am doing my best to learn the basics of the language, and I will be able to organise a car before I get there through colleagues

Other than that, I wonder – is there good surf there? are there many young people (I am 34). I assume the night life is limited given the small population size of 11,000 but the sea food is meant to be amazing !

I work as a diver in Australia – I understand the water in Northern Japan is fkin freezing

I should also mention I have lots of tattoos that can’t be hidden by shirts (neck, hands)

P.S. Before you tell me moving to rural Japan as a westerner is a dumb idea, please first know that I am a dumb person and will do it anyway, assuming everything else works out
