I moved to a tiny Japanese fishing village to experience a disappearing way of life

Though the village is described as an extreme countryside, it just takes about 40 minutes from the village to downtown of Wakayama City, the suburban city of Osaka. (Strictly speaking, the area belongs to Yura town, instead of village)
So, I think that it's exaggerated to treat the area as a tiny fishing village.
