I'm wondering what the blocked off areas in towns are? In the top left of Westown for example near the restaurant where there's a path with trees which looks like you should be able to go up into another area. I've even seen villagers go up there and come back down but it's completely inaccessible to me. I'm pretty sure there's also an area like that in Lulukoko. Do these areas ever become explorable? Or are they just like areas where only the villagers can go?

You can never go to those areas. I think following those paths one would reach the festival grounds, since you can see that the villagers taking part in the festivals take those roads. The road in Tsuyukusa also leads to the school where Kasumi teaches and Tatsumi and Sumomo attend. Also, since the other way out of the towns is connected to your farm, there needs to be some way connecting the towns to the rest of the world.
