Are there many labor/farming jobs for a mid 20s Canadain in rural japan?

To preface I'm just day dreaming and as of right now nothing is serious. Just thinking is all!

Got back from a recent trip to Japan and and loved it! Everything was so lovely. The scenery, the people, the food, it was great! What i really loved most was the smaller communities i went to and my want to go to more of them.

Since I've come home I have been thinking about what it would be like to go live in one. I have a small farming background since I was a kid to my teenage years and still help out now and again, mostly crops, some cattle. Full time I am a powerline technician but as to my understanding you have to be fluent in Japanese and the training is quite rigorous if I wanted to become one out there so I could only assume that's out of the question. Im in pretty good shape, not jacked, not scrawny. I love the outdoors, climbing, hiking, biking and photography. All that being said every time i think about living in japan i see myself working on a farm or something.

I see that rural japan is sorta 'dying' as younger generations flock toward the bigger cities but I've never been real keen on living in bigger cities. Its fun being in the hustle and bustle for a week or so but anything more I think id go crazy!

So all that being said. Is there really anything out there for a guy like me? Are there many manual labor or farm jobs out there for foreigners?

Again, just kinda day dreaming and thinking about what could be. Sorry for the rambly post!

Any ideas what to clean the welt(?) With? And any ideas what these black lines are?

Just did my first hike on Sunday in my new razor backs and man oh man were my feet comfy! Prior to the hike I gave them a rub down with JGs leather balm. The boots were subject to mud, rain and snow. Now that im home I would like to clean out the threading of the sole but a tooth brush i find just isn't solid enough to dislodge the dirt and mud. Any tips? Also any suggestions what the black lines are above the sole? I was thinking maybe just a build up of wax but im not entirely sure. It is only on the one boot as well, not both

Hey folks! Got some rugged african troopers awhile ago now and love them! They're great for everything! But I've heard great things about the razorbacks and wouldn't mind something a bit more aggressive for when I go scrambling. Before I pull the trigger I just wanted to hear some folks input on sizing. I ordered my RATs before they had a canadain site so I ordered a size 9 uk. They fit perfect! Though my toe is pretty well right at the top of the boot with only a few mm to spare. Never had an issue on the trails or out hunting with my toe getting bashed in the top of the boot and i dont think my feet are particularly wide. That being said, do the razorbacks fit pretty similarly? Or are they a bit tighter? Just curious if I should size up or keep rolling with the size 9 uk/10 us

EDIT: Forgot to add im pointing at where my big toe is sitting

Hey folks, bought my first house beginning of the year and am repairing the walls so I can start painting. There's been a lot of cracks in my drywall that I've V cut, taped, and mudded but this is the only bulge in the whole house. Can I do the same process of notching it than taping and mudding or should I approach it differently? Im extremely new to drywalling so any tips or tricks would be appreciated!
