I am so fascinated by the japanese people and culture that I'm planning to move there. My japanese skills will have to improve a lot though. But I'm getting there. I would actually prefer some calm village somewhere in Hokkaido where it doesn't get so absurdly hot in the summer. But my son is afraid he won't make it in a japanese school, although he is generally excited about the idea of moving there. So we are right now targeting to move into the neighborhood of the only german school in the country - right in Yokohama, lol.

Anyway, Japan is indeed a great country and I can totally understand your feelings. At the same time, it also has its downsides and it's not some miracle wonderland. The economy is pretty rough these days and people have a hard time just paying for their daily needs. Imports are pretty much out of reach for most people because of the absurdly weak Yen. Oh, and japanese rice has also gotten really expensive. People are already switching to bread and noodles. In Japan of all places. Where the word for "food" and "rice" is literally the same! Stuff like that feeds populism, which is also why right-wingers and xenophobia is on the rise lately, although it isn't nearly as bad as in the US or Europe (yet).
