    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.

What are you watching and where are you watching it!?

For many years I have been a member of Amazon Prime. I signed up to and pay for it for the "free" delivery and I like that much of Prime TV is then "free" too. However, in recent years, Prime TV hasn't been great. So I now pay for Netflix monthly and I find it very reasonably priced. But its not always easy to pick what to watch! What are you watching, where are you watching it and would you recommend it?

Grocery budget 2024?

How are you managing your grocery budget, for a single or a family? I'm finding my buying power for a single is diminishing, but I'm doing okay, cooking nearly all my meals and dining out infrequently. After going over my receipts, I'm still averaging 30,000 yen a month on groceries. For reference, I'm well outside Tokyo in a Chiba suburb. Have you had to change your grocery budget considering the rising prices?

Japanese YouTube channels for interesting topics?

Are you listening and watching Japanese YouTubers who present interesting and quality content? I'm hooked on world traveler Bappa Shota, who treats global issues with great sensitivity. Although he appears to speak a few different languages, most of his narration is in Japanese. Which Japanese YouTubers do you recommend for interesting and insightful content?

Do you have a My Number card?

I never got one - long story, possibly for a blog post! But I am just curious did you get one? From March you can use a My Number card as a driver's license. This interests me so I am now considering getting one. Pros / cons?
