It is a fantastic country with many place to live. I suggest you stay out of the major expensive cities like Tokyo and find a nice smaller city. You have lots of work to do before you decide..............The library would be a good place to begin. Also chat with as many Japanese people as you can find. BIG POINT>>>>>>>>>>>> visit before any decisions !!!

It's like living in a cross between the years 1950 and 2050. So many things are old fashioned, yet others are like living in the future. Men wear suits and sometimes even hats (think "Mad Men") and women wear skirts. Everyone smokes. (Well, not so much anymore...) You still get amazing service at most restaurants and when you get a fill-up at the gas station, they clean your windows, like they used to do in the US, long ago. When I was a kid in the states, we still had a milkman who brought milk every morning to your doorstep. They don't have that here, but there's a guy who brings tofu around using a cart that looks like a rickshaw every morning. He wears a happi coat and split-toed boots and plays a little song on a flute to let you know he's nearby. Safety is a big thing too: Little kids can play outside alone or ride the subway without fear of being kidnapped or molested; if you lose your wallet, you'll get it back with the money in it. People don't cross the street when the light is red, even if there are no cars. Then there's the stuff that's like living in the future: Cellphones here are amazing. The Internet is usually between 100MB/s and 1GB/s. Technology is amazing. They are making robots to keep old people company and take care of them. A new Zeppelin service just started last year. You rarely ever have to touch a door for it to open. The toilets automatically raise and lower the lid and/or seat. (I still have no idea how they know which to do...) Perhaps the thing I like best about the place is the general attitude of the people; When I was in the US, people thought first about their rights. In Japan, they think first about their responsibilities.

Its a very beautiful country, if you don't speak japanese you have to deal with the langauge first, most of the J people do not speak english.
