What are the best prefectures in Japan? In a few years I hope to be an ALT in Japan and just wondering which prefectures I should set my eyes on. I was thinking about Saitama at first since it's close to Tokyo but I read from people that it's basically a shithole with the Japanese there being the equivalent of rednecks and a place with no Japanese charm. I was also thinking about Chiba since it's also not too far but I've read it's not that great either. So what is the best prefecture do you think? I like warm weather but many people like Hokkaido so I don't know if I should settle for the cold. Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto also seem popular. I'm not sure if I'd like an inaka (countryside) or a small or large city. If I was in inaka I'd like easy access to the bigger cities. Out of these, which do you recommend and which to avoid, and why?
