Tohoku because I'm  and I'd like to live where there's a modicrum of snow. If I wake up during hockey season and I *don't* have to shovel the drive way something has gone wrong with the universe.Also so I can walk outside during the winter with just a light hoodie for warmth and have everyone starring at me and asking me "Aren't you cold?" and respond "Honestly its a little warm for me." make them think I'm half polar bear.

Nagoya. Lots of rich daughters to marry but not many gaijin so being white is still novel.

It has always been my dream to live in a drafty house on some desolate and windswept coastline, so probably one of the Kuril Islands.

video games have taught me that akiba is full of zombies that die when you take their clothes off. that sounds pretty cool but also dangerous so i think i'll avoid that place.

The stores of Akiba will hold a tournament, entered by a five person team of their employees, and the winning store may have the honor of hosting me in a room above them.

Not Japan. Great country to visit, I enjoyed my trip there, but it made me miss Scotland so much. Though that said if we could get a few of their 7/11s and their stocks of food to go so I can subsist on onigiri, melon buns and Pocari Sweat, that'd be proper belter, like. I miss this sight so much.

Anywhere nearby to a restaurant that understands seasoning and a vending machine that has hot cans of Suntory Boss Café Au Lait.

From the japan.jpg thread in GBS it looks like most of the Japanese countryside would be amazing to live in if you love solitude and nature, but being the only non-Japanese person in a town of 2000 would either be okay or be horrifically inconvenient.

If I were to ever live in Japan, it'd be because of the food. How the poo poo does everything there look so good? Everything else seems lovely, though.

Spoiler; its not actually very good tasting, it just looks incredible. Or at least my tour of the country from local joints to Michelin 2 stars missed everything actually good. Spent the whole trip in awe of the public infrastructure and honestly gorgeous natural beauty and still wouldn't want to go back due to the food.

I've actually never had Japanese food, is it like Chinese food but more seafood and without being soaked in grease and salt (AKA what makes Chinese food good)?

I took a Chinese citizen with me and our experience is the country's food is focused entirely on presentation and freshness and not in how the resultant thing tastes. Things like oil and spices are totally non-existent in almost all food items to the point where by our last day there we couldn't stick to the plan to only eat Japanese food and just broke down and ate a Chinese restaurant because it was the only restaurant we could find that had items labeled "spicy" on the menu and had pictures of things with visible seasoning. As for Cuisine style I'm more familiar with Beijing/Hubei/Hunan style dishes so to me Japan and China are wildly un-similar other than "both have noodles and red bean deserts." Traditional Japanese home construction style doesn't really allow using oil or grease at all so you're quite right in that the food is almost totally barren of it. I think the most depressing part of our trip was watching Japanese cooking shows in a desperate attempt to figure out how people ate at home and seeing a show do a "my mind is blown" face when the chef added salt and two onions to a full pot of boiling beef. Honestly, one of the things we and other non-Japanese people we met on the trip discussed was a feeling that food and eating were taboo subjects.
