Believe it or not, I am not the only foreigner living on an island in the Seto Inland Sea. Allow me to uncover other insane gaijin "doing it" island style. And these are no ordinary people, mind you.
I call them Gaijin of the Inland Sea. And I use the word gaijin proudly. You probably already know that foreigners are called gaijin, which means "outsider." Some foreigners take offense at this, but I don't. As a matter of fact, it couldn't be a more apt description of us. We're outside, we love the outdoors!
And no one embodies this concept more than the gaijin living on the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. They love the outdoors, nature and they live for this lifestyle. But there is something else different about these gaijin. They are a certain breed, which I call DIY gaijin, or do-it-yourself gaijin.
