I mean its remote, if you don't interact with any gov't agencies then how they gunna know you living there longer than the visa?

They know. They know when you entered and what kind of visa you carry.

I guess you could hide out in the woods, but... then why be in Japan?

Edit: and if they idea is to hide out in the house that you bought, well... may as well put a sign up that says "check here."

If you've ever been around the monkeys in Japan, you know they are not to be toyed with.

But they're japanese, so the most they can do is knock insistently on the door; something like kicking the door down would be rude. And if you marry, you solve the visa problem and help repopulate. Two birds one stone. Jokes aside, the place is really rundown and also not much "classic/picturesque", looks more like an old factory or warehouse.

Oh, I get that. I guess I'm suggesting there are better options if it's hiding out without an appropriate visa in the woods. It's probably easier in, say, Borneo.

The Japanese government functions and has enforcement of immigration policy.

And their version of enforcement is quite.. forceful.
