Abstract

This qualitative paper explores the friction at the intersection of individual aspirations to mobile lives and systemic norms shaped by sedentary ideals by approaching counterurbanisation in Japan, more specifically lifestyle migration, through the lens of regimes of mobility (Glick-Schiller and Salazar, 2013). Examining the lived experiences and narratives of Japanese lifestyle migrants in rural areas as well as governmental materials, I propose the term “urbanrural” to portray the new transitional period Japan has entered after the Covid-19 pandemic to analyze the multiple interlinkages between urban and rural areas. Introducing rare findings from fieldwork conducted in Western Japan in 2021, this paper seeks to radically rethink the meaning of population flows in contemporary counterurbanisation by developing a circular model of kankei jinkou (relationship population).

期刊介绍: The Journal of Rural Studies publishes research articles relating to such rural issues as society, demography, housing, employment, transport, services, land-use, recreation, agriculture and conservation. The focus is on those areas encompassing extensive land-use, with small-scale and diffuse settlement patterns and communities linked into the surrounding landscape and milieux. Particular emphasis will be given to aspects of planning policy and management. The journal is international and interdisciplinary in scope and content.
