Best city to live in Japan?

Question:


and why

Answer:


It's mostly all good. It depends on what you're looking for. The big 3 (Tokyo-Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya) can get crowded and crazy, but some think that equals stimulating and lots going on to see and do. Sapporo in the north is nice, but it doesn't have that traditional Japanese feel. Lots of nature nearby, though. Fukuoka is a green city (for Japan), and I was impressed by the friendliness of the people. It's a good location for exploring much of Japan, Kyoto is the jewel of big cities in Japan. Japan has a lot of nice smaller cities, like Gifu, Nara, and Kagoshima. The 2 cities where the atomic bombs were dropped - Hiroshima and Nagasaki - have special places in my heart, especially Nagasaki, because they are cities where the local government takes its peace very seriously. It's moving to be in both places, but Nagasaki is smaller and more scenic, so it's a personal favorite.
