What I wanted to say is: just a little bit west ( well, maybe 30
km or so ) from Kashihara the world literally ends. As is usual
in Japan, you pass from populated areas abruptly into
unpopulated ones, without much of a transition. You wouldn't see
anything like this anywhere in Europe.

BTW, the southernmost cape of Norway is called "Vaerden's End"
which means "the world's end". Nice place, BTW.
