cocoluvnihon 08-12-2007 05:28 AM

Nagoya or Yokohama not too big not too small and plus it has it's traditional ways of Japan ;)

Housetek 08-13-2007 05:26 PM

If i could change locations id stay in Roppongi or Shinjuku

Roppongi cuz i know alot of bar owners and bartenders.

Shinjuku cuz of the crazy late night arcades, bowling alleys, kareoki, and breakdancing. =)

ForeignExchangeStudent 08-16-2007 05:51 PM

Probably Sapporo, Nagoya,or Kyoto.

kyoisgod 08-16-2007 05:54 PM

ShinigamiTae 08-26-2007 07:23 AM

ajin999 08-26-2007 07:28 AM

tokyo!!!!!!!!....

MMM 08-26-2007 07:30 AM

Probably Kobe. It's got it all, and in a smaller, more managable space. It is cleaner than Osaka, but I like Osaka a lot, too. Nara is also one of my favorite places in Japan.

samokan 08-27-2007 03:11 AM

I love living in Osaka. I prefer here or somewhere in Hyogo :D

Saruri 08-27-2007 08:07 AM

Probably in Kyoto (gion?)

masaegu 08-27-2007 09:22 AM

I actually already live in Japan, namely Tokyo, but if I could relocate I would probably choose from:

1. Kobe for all its cosmopolitan atmosphere and great restaurants
2. Sapporo for its fresh air, mild summers, and insane ramen joints

I seriously don't know why so many foreigners keep coming to Tokyo. It's undoubtedly a great city for the tourist. But as a place to live, i'm not too sure. Many of them do end up complaining about Tokyo sooner or later. People are generally friendlier and the prices are lower in other cities. Unless you are the type that can happily live in New york City or London, I urge you to reconsider Tokyo.

Cyclamen 08-27-2007 04:42 PM

I don't understand all the hype around Harajuku. Yes, it has the takeshita dori, the omotesando and on sunday there are cosplayers and jrocker wannabes hanging around the place... but seriously, living there?? no...

adama 08-28-2007 02:18 PM

(Reply mainly at MMM)

Lived in Kobe for a year and a half and loved it. Job brought me to the Dark Side of Tokyo, which is where I am now. I like it more than I thought I would, but deep down I miss Kobe. Miss 神戸弁 (which I still lapse into) and 南京町, Sannomiya, Motomachi... Never much cared for Osaka at all, and deer-infested Nara is...well, it's deer-infested. And touristy. At least it's better than the hell that is Kyoto. :mtongue:

OokamiTsuki 08-28-2007 03:18 PM

I'd love to live Shibuya, Tokyo or Harajuku. They seem to be the coolest places in Japan, and I'd prob. meet a lot of friends there too. ^^

CrystalTear 08-28-2007 06:54 PM

Tokyo, I've heard soooo many stories about it. I think it just represents modern Japan. I can't die before I've seen Tokyo xD

Nibbles 08-28-2007 07:00 PM

Osaka for sure. My friend that went to study in Tokyo had told me she met the most people, and the had the greatest time in Osaka. She also went on to say they have amazing bars, chock full of interesting people :)

That or Mutsu, because my friend just moved there a month ago :)

Ayame90 08-28-2007 07:34 PM

Osaka or Kyoto would be my choices, either one would satisfy me.^___^

Kaicui 08-28-2007 07:39 PM

nakagyo of kyoto because dats where all the clubs r

wbslngr 08-28-2007 07:43 PM

i'd move to tokyo.

Ayame90 08-28-2007 07:44 PM

Clubs r THE place to Partee!!!

Because that's where the Japanese people I miss live.

goldenGAZE 08-29-2007 08:49 AM

definatly tokyo or osaka (more leaning towards osaka). I LOVE cities !

Vindr 08-29-2007 12:15 PM

Hmm, Kyoto. Dunno why..

Sophieneechan 08-29-2007 01:39 PM

Sapporo or Kyoto..
Or maybe Harajuku in Tokyo.. :p

jimmyheart 08-30-2007 07:02 PM

where would be the best place to live if u had never been to japan before?

masaegu 09-02-2007 05:00 AM

That would be hard to say. For one thing we don't know what kind of a person you are, what you like doing for fun, etc... You might even decide by drawing or something. Let me introduce a Japanese saying here:

"Sumeba miyako." It means any place you live will be the capital.

animerox102 09-02-2007 05:06 AM

defiantly tokyo

pandayanyan 09-02-2007 05:41 AM

tokyo would be the popular answer though personally I would like to go somewhere less crowded. I know Japan is a crowded place but I mean somewhere more remote? I don't have any examples. Tokyo Seems like a nice place to visit allot but maybe a little hectic to start out in.

chio 09-02-2007 06:06 AM

i wanna back to my Hometown, Osaka .
tokyou is too busy i think,. vry individualist .,

i like osaka, hehe
besides, i could meet many comedian there., xDD

yooshaaa~!

pandayanyan 09-02-2007 06:06 AM

Man i wish I could live there.. dont you need some kind of good reason though? You can't just up and move right?

masaegu 09-02-2007 06:15 AM

Right on, pandayanyan!!

I can't believe all these young anime/Jrock fans are answering 'Tokyo!!' in this thread. It's hard even for a Japanese fresh out of high school or even college to move to Tokyo and start a new life there. I live in Tokyo myself and I've met so many non-Japanese (mostly guys from smaller towns in North American) complaining about the City after a while. If you don't like the idea of getting literally pushed around and stepped on your feet on the train every morning and evening, or paying a rent for a small studio that could get you an entire house with a garden in your hometown, Japan surely has many other nicer, smaller, and friendlier towns for you.

pandayanyan 09-02-2007 06:16 AM

i like friendly

Brunnenqueen 09-02-2007 05:49 PM

I don't know, which city I would choose. Tokyo is rather nice, but it's very crowded. I lived there for a half year and it was great but I don't think I would like to live in that city for many years.

Suki 09-02-2007 05:57 PM

Either Tokyo or Kyoto, for obvious reasons.
