Wife and I are looking to move to inaka soonish

Hi all,

(Soon to be) Wife and I are thinking to move to Inaka eventually soon, from Tokyo. I have had enough of the crowds, the lack of space and the prices and would like to try a more slow and nature filled way of life. We are thinking Nagano but are just starting to brainstorm.

She is half japanese and we have both been here 10+ years. We both speak Japanese fluently and have friends in Tokyo. I work for myself remotely and we are trying to transition her to a more stable remote roll. Kids coming soonish? We own a small house in Tokyo that we will probably rent out. We like outdoors and nature etc.

Does anyone have any experience, stories, advice etc about moving to Inaka? Hurdles or challenges? Benefits and pluses?
Any experience or advice would be appreciated!

Edit: We have a car and I have my license. She is currently working on it… So that is more or less sorted.
