I'm half japanese and puerto rican. and i really love japan, but i want to know is it good to live there?

Question:

ok so if i moved into japan will that be the best thing to do, or should i stay in american. what do i have to do to live there.

Answer:

The only reason to move to Japan is the increased sense of safety. Everything else just a small plus here and there.

If you want to move here, I hope your parents registered your birth and you have a Japanese passport. Otherwise it is visa time for you.

EDIT: It's true about the dual nationality. What wasn't pointed out is that they don't do door to door searches looking for you. Kinda' like the police, unless you rub their faces in it, they are content to sit back and do basically nothing. Not saying anything was the advice I got from the U.S. Embassy when I registered my daughter's birth and was asking them about dual citizenship. You don't say anything, they aren't likely to find out. Just travel on your Japanese passport and keep your U.S. citizenship a secret.

Somebody on this forum recommends leaving on the Japanese passport, entering the U.S. on the American passport and reversing the process coming back. Personally, I think that is rubbing their faces in it. You have an exit stamp in your Japanese passport but there isn't a stamp from any country that you entered? Hmmm..... let's all suck copious quantities of air through our teeth and start asking lots of questions.
