Abstract: In the face of societal challenges exacerbated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, rural Japanese communities are redoubling their efforts to preserve social cohesion. This revitalization is epitomized by the Osekkai initiative, an embodiment of voluntary neighborly support.
