Questions & Answers about okurisaki ga tooi machi de mo, kono kaisha nara futsuka de todoku sou desu.
送り先 means the destination for something being sent, such as a package or letter. Depending on context, it can mean:
- the shipping destination
- the delivery address
- the addressee
It is made from 送る (to send) + 先 (destination / the place ahead / recipient side).
Yes. 遠い directly modifies 町, so 遠い町 means a faraway town.
Then 送り先が marks the destination as the subject of that clause. So the whole part means something like:
even if the destination is a faraway town
or, more naturally in English,
even if it’s going to a distant town
It is not a relative clause like the town whose destination is far.
が marks 送り先 as the subject of the clause.
The speaker is essentially saying:
The destination is a faraway town, but even so...
In Japanese, が is very common when you are identifying what the subject of a smaller clause is. Here, 送り先 is the thing being described as 遠い町.
If you used は instead, the nuance would shift more toward making 送り先 the broader topic, which is not as natural here.
