Japan pays families 1 million yen to move to the countryside.

The government will pay 1 million yen (about $8,000) for every child in families who move from Tokyo to the countryside. The main goal of this scheme is to reduce overcrowding in the capital and revitalize outlying areas of Japan by attracting youth and promoting entrepreneurship. At the new location, at least one family member must open a business or take a job in a small or medium-sized enterprise. If they decide to leave after spending less than five years in the village, they will have to return the entire amount.
