Tokyo housing is more expensive.

are you japanese and do your kids speak japanese?

what grade are they in?

tell us a lil bit more about your situation and it'll be easier to help.

I i live in Tokyo but also 12 kilometers from Yokohama.

i like Tokyo better, but thats cuz im 22 and like to have fun.

But there are some very nice areas in Tokyo.

Especially for English speaking families. Such as Hiro and ShiroKane Dai.

provide a lil more info about your situation and we'll be able to assist you better.

Yokohama I think would be more livable in your case.

That wasn't exactly relevant to the topic...

Anyway yechie, if you don't speak Japanese, Tokyo would probably be easier for you. The only problem is the high cost of living.

Tokyo is very expensive.
