Beautiful landscape = Hokkaido Beautiful City = Kyoto Amazing Experience = Tokyo (costs an arm and a leg though)

i would say kyoto because it still has lots of culture in it. Osaka or Tokyo if you want some fun and excitement. But i have been to Nagoya and it is very beautiful and calm most of the time. People are very nice, helpful and not mean at all ( that's for every in Japan)

It is difficult to say. As soon as you find somewhere really beautiful, they will come along, widen the road, put up new utility poles, put concrete walls along the sides of the streams and then build something particularly ugly in the middle of your view. When they have done all that, they will then chop all the branches off the trees because somebody has complained about the falling leaves. The Japanese do not seem to appreciate nature or scenic beauty in the same way as other people.

First, what's "der"? Beautiful is not a word which could be applied to Tokyo nor Osaka. Even Kyoto, with all its heritage and historic landmarks is not a beautiful city. The architecture in Japanese cities can be described by people who like that sort of thing as "exciting" but it is definitely not beautiful. There is very little left of traditional Japanese architecture after the Americans bombed almost ever city in Japan. The best place to be, in my opinion, is somewhere where you can easily get out of the city and see small towns. Tokyo would be my last choice. I like Chris's answer. I didn't go into that because I'm tired of telling people over and over that you can't just move to Japan. You actually can't "just move" to most countries, and Japan is certainly not the easiest in the world. Note: Osaka is Japan's third largest city, after Tokyo and Yokohama. Also, you can get a working-holiday visa if you're Canadian as well.

Before you start your dream career let me explain some reality to you. Unless you hold a 4 year college degree you are not going to have a career in Japan. you cannot just enter Japan, you need a long term visa and most people teach english when they first get here. You HAVE TO have a college degree or you will not be able to get a working visa. If you earn money in Japan without a work visa FOR THE TYPE OF JOB YOU HAVE you can face severe penalties from immigration. Also, you will need enough in savings to sustain yourself. If you are not hired by a company while outside Japan you can enter three ways. You can enter as a 90 day visitor and you can try to re-enter but immigration is hip to this game and after a few times you might be denied entry even if you rented an apartment etc...that does not matter. You can go to a language school to learn Japanese or go to college in Japan. There is an english speaking college in Tokyo but you need at least 20,000USD in the bank for each year you are going to study. If you are from UK, Ireland,Australia,New Zealand you can work on a working holiday visa for 1 year. But if you do not have a degree, no english teaching job for you even still. Third or actually Fourth if you marry a Japanese national you can get a spouse or dependent visa. It has to be renewed yearly for two years then you can apply for the 3 year and then u are eligible to apply for permanent resident. I would not call this the easiest way and people are not dying to leave Japan ( it is not China) Otherwise you should just finish out your university degree before coming, because you actually have to pick up your work visa outside of japan even if you have been living there usually. Japan is not someplace you can just pick up and move to. So given that you have all the immigration items sorted which you will want to start researching right now the cities you spoke of are all cities, so it depends on what you find beautiful. Tokyo is the largest city in the world. It has a great mass transit system but is VERY expensive. though the more Japanese you know the cheaper it can be.... The problems it faces are pollution and the trains are at 300 percent capacity. There are conductors on the platforms to shove people in during rush house so they do not lose limbs. Tokyo was also firebombed by the US during world war 2 so it is practically brand new. It is comprised of 36 cities to make one Metropolis. so you have that small neighborhood in a big city feel like Los Angeles but with less smog and more efficient transit. If you want anything foreign, it is here. Osaka is the 2nd largest city in Japan. There you can find older prewar buildings and it is said it have a more centered city feel like New York but is smaller in population. It is part of the Kansai region which has some of the most oppressively humid summers in the world. It is a great city and totally different than Tokyo. I suggest you take the JR train from Southern Japan through these cities and see for yourself... Kyoto Is the old Capital of Japan and the headquarters of Nintendo. It is a bit northwest of Osaka but basically in the same area. It has a great mix of culture as well as the new and the old. Most likely you will be an english teacher to start which will take you to Osaka or Tokyo as there are almost always jobs in both. ps I wanted to move there for my dream job too but do not think you can get past the requirements. The Japanese value education and are only going to look at your paper documents. So if you have no degree and no savings it is not happening. If you have money but no purpose, it still is not. The visa comes from either a school or a job to sponsor you and very few but english schools will take a chance on someone from out of the country.
