After a year in China I want to go to Japan. I want to live in a city that is clean, interesting, not too crowded, not polluted, maybe by the sea or in the country, with foreigner friendly people and a good standard of living.

Where should I go, I met a Japanese guy in China a he told me the name of a city, in the south, which he said was the best city in Japan. I completely forgot the name 10 seconds later.

Is there a city like this in Japan? One that everyone says 'Ooh I wished I lived in .....'?

When I came to China I didn't put any thought into where I was going to be, and I didn't like it there at all. I want to avoid this again if I can.

One last thing, is there a city or region where golf doesn't cost the earth? Where you can get a game on a public course, even if the course isn't that great.

Thanks for info.

Golf is expensive no matter where you go in Japan.

Try Sapporo up in Hokkaido. What kind of climate are you used to?

Is there a general trend regarding the cost of living as you move South - North through Japan?

Kochi!

('cept for the good standard of living but as you would be on same wages anyway that just equates to cheaper living costs)

Living in Tokyo, I would suggest the best city is any other one.............

So why isn't it the last city you'd live in? Are you posting this from jail? Shocked

A little off-topic but I remember an Amnesty International article someone here linked to that discussed Japanese prison conditions. Wow. I can't imagine anyone overstaying their visa after reading it.
