    Great question. I know a lot of Tokyo residents want to live in Jiyugaoka. I think I read a survey that said Fujisawa was a place where a lot of people wanted to live, too.

    Fukuoka Fukuoka, the largest city on the southern island of Kyushu, is consistently ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world. It combines big city living with being close to nature. It has most of the foreign-owned chain stores you would expect in a large Japanese city, as well as an excellent transportation network. It also has pro sports such as baseball team Softbank Hawks, J.League soccer team Avispa, and hosts the Fukuoka sumo basho once a year.

    In my experience, Tsukuba is also very nice. It is close to Tokyo, but still safe and calm! Also, there are many offers and help for international people.

    I think this is so dependent on personal taste. I've lived in Tokyo and Niigata, city and country, and both have pros and cons. If I could pick, I'd choose somewhere that didn't have the heavy snowfall that Niigata does, but I don't know that I'd choose downtown Tokyo, either. I really like Shimane and Yamaguchi, but I've only experienced them from a travel perspective. I don't know what it would be like to live there.

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita
