Kamiyama is a small mountain town in Tokushima with a population under two thousand and a reputation, in certain circles, that extends far beyond Japan. Beginning in the early 2010s, technology companies began opening satellite offices here — attracted by the available renovated farmhouses, the local community's openness to newcomers, and fiber-optic internet in a mountain valley where you would not expect to find it. More than thirty companies now have a presence in Kamiyama, and the demographic that the village was losing — young people in their twenties and thirties — has been partially replaced by people who moved from cities to work remotely and found that they did not want to leave. The town has become a reference point in Japan's ongoing conversation about what rural revival can look like. Short-term stay programs in Kamiyama offer the experience of working from here for a few days or a week: using the coworking spaces, meeting the people who chose to relocate, understanding what the tradeoffs look like from the inside. The valley is beautiful in the way that unfamous Japanese mountain places tend to be beautiful — quietly, completely, without the infrastructure of tourism. Whether or not you are considering a move, Kamiyama is worth visiting as a place that has answered a question most Japanese villages have not yet found a way to ask.
