Hey, I live in Tokyo and I love this city. Its a place where you never get bored and there is heaps to do. I also stayed in Osaka, but only for a week. In my opinion, the people are much friendlier in Osaka. Check out Tokyo - I have no regrets living here. It's busy, but its great!

Well, I have been to Japan a couple of times but i find that the city of Tokyo is too busy and always crowded. In my opinion, the best city to live in Japan is Kyoto. Most of the areas are extremely quiet and peaceful. There are also hardly any vehicles as most of the residents of Kyoto travel around by public transport. There are buses in every corner of Kyoto and the food and shopping there are so much nicer and peaceful. The most well known temple in Kyoto is the golden pavillion. They are also famous for their temple

Well it depends on what kind of concerts and what kind of cities and environment you like, what you're going to do for a job, etc. Any of the big cities will have concerts and the major artists will play there. If you want to see foreigners perform, Tokyo will be better. If you like local smaller acts, then any city is what you make of it, just don't go too far in the country where you might be far from clubs and live venues. If you like cold and snow, move north where there's plenty. If you can't stand the cold, move more south like Kyushu and Okinawa. If you want to do weekend getaways, do not move to Okinawa because it will cost a lot to get to the other islands. (You can't just hop on a train to Kyoto, etc.) If you were to live in Tokyo, you could also catch the concerts in Yokohama and other cities, depending on how much money you have to spare. Tokyo can be expensive for rent. Okinawa has twice the unemployment rate of the rest of Japan but perhaps a greater need for bilingual people are in both places (corporations in Tokyo and military-related in Okinawa). Also, city size. Do you function better in a big city where you will be anonymous and alone or a smaller town where you can become the local celebrity? (if you're the only gaijin around, that might happen. just don't do anything bad because everyone will know it was you) Does being called gaijin bother you? and the pointing and staring that goes along with it? If so, live in a bigger city where they are more used to foreigners. While you're there, do you plan on speaking/learning Japanese? If so, stay away from big cities and Okinawa because you could live there for years without ever learning. Instead go somewhere without English speakers.
