Where

Well, Japan obviously. Specifically, 兵庫県　朝来市　(Hyogo-ken, Asago-shi), which as I understand is not too far from Osaka and Kyoto.

Perhaps I will post more info once I have some. For now, you can check out:

For those interested, I am originally from Nova Scotia, Canada. A wonderful place as long as you don’t mind being cold. Or being attacked by squirrels. A quick look at my home town of New Glasgow:
