When I take foreigners with me, I always visit traditional villages (there are traditional villages all over the country, but I have visited 12 of them)
These villages, which have a history of over 500 years or as short as 200 years, have one thing in common: they are all slowly dying.
You can see houses where no one lives anymore in the villages.
These unmanaged houses have weeds growing in the yards and walls that have collapsed.
The houses that still have traces of people have electric wheelchairs and baby strollers in the yards, suggesting that they will not last long.
In general, these villages are very quiet.
(There are quite a few tourists in some famous villages.)
In alleys where there is almost no sign of people even in broad daylight, there is a high probability that there will be cats.
There is a unique feeling that this sight gives. A village that is slowly dying after leaving its long history behind, a quiet landscape with no people, cats at peace, a feeling that time is passing very slowly...
