When I first joined this list a couple of years ago someone posted a 
couple of links to the website of a real estate office in Roppongi or 
Tameike that had a lot of old houses and farms out in the country for 
rent or sale.  Maybe it was more than one ... I don't remember.  Lots of 
stuff in Nagano, Gifu, and Hyogo as I recall.

At the time, I showed it to a friend who has suddenly decided that he 
can live cheaper out in the sticks as long as he has a good fax 
connection to send and receive translations ... and I can't find where I 
stored the URLs.

Does anyone remember them?  Google isn't my friend this week, for some 
reason.

Can someone re-post?
