Your profile says you want to live in Tokyo? Trust me, there are many more, better places to live in Japan. I lived in Japan a few yrs here, a few yrs there and places like Hiroshima, Iwakuni and Fukuoka are better. Or go south to the islands of Okinawa. Oki has no snow and is beautiful!!! I have pics in my gallery from Japan. Tokyo is like living in a red-light district. Not that it's bad, but it's waaaay different than the rest of Japan.
