Seeking Instagram recommendations for life in rural Korea or Japan

April 28, 2021 10:21 AM

I'm looking for Instagram* accounts that feature glimpses of life in either rural South Korea or Japan. Relevant hashtags would be helpful as well. *Instagram is preferred but Twitter would be ok as well, but really looking for visuals.

This is a bit outside of your parameters, but you may enjoy the reality show Hyori's Homestay (Hyori's Bed and Breakfast on Netflix). It's a very loose reality show about a couple of musicians hosting people in their rural(ish) vacation home/ a tourist brochure for Jeju Island. Lots of sitting around and drinking tea on the porch and walking on the beach. It's a really relaxing watch but it's not the traditional 'rural' content you may be looking for.
