My reasons for moving to Japan: 1. My health and the amazing health insurance 2. Affordable homes for sale I want to own my own house in cash and they have free houses. 3. Extremely low crime and safe family environment. 4. Public transportation, sick and tired of bad traffic and over priced cars wasting money. 5. Respectful and collectivist culture which I actually prefer. 6. Business opportunities as I want to own my own business instead of working as a employee and there are countless business opportunities as less Japanese are inclined to open businesses and prefer to work as a employee so more opportunities are everywhere for those of us who want to start a business.
Honestly not sure on the treatment aspect of healthcare, but it's not nearly as ridiculous and pricey as American healthcare so that's a win. The crime is incredibly low here but it's not zero so don't go throwing caution to the wind 😂 I fully agree on owning your own business if you plan to live in Japan. Not only do you get the benefits of being your own boss, but the yen is in a bad spot right now so if you can do business online and earn money in dollars, you'll be on the right track!
Thanks for honest insight Bald, I think it is a public secret that Japanese is so culturally shocking, especially if you meant to stay and work. I plan to visit them next year, hopefully I will be able to secure job this year. stay safe Bald.
Wait Aomori City has the heaviest snowfall in the world?! That explains so much about my time there last year in December 😂 I’d really wished I’d brought snow boots with me then… had a great time though, especially in Hirosaki City nearby
Haha sounds like you went trekking in the snow and got a little more than you asked for! I'd like to make a video in Aomori at some point because I think it's just that cool!
@@BaldinJapanOoooh I’d love a video in Aomori! I’m a big fan of the local idol group Ringomusume which is how I got into Aomori haha… I went there last year as a pilgrimage to check out various places they’ve filmed MVs at. And the A-factory in Aomori city can’t be missed for all the apple fans! During that that, I fell in love with Hirosaki castle and Dotenmachi. Next time I want to visit during apple season though!! Or during a time when Ringo Music is doing events. This month they’re actually doing a big music festival in Hirosaki. It’s totally free so if you happen to be there on September 28 you should check it out!!
I only watch these kind of videos because I have extended stays in both China and Japan. Both countries have extremely similar problems like with work culture, but the public treats the problems very, very differently. Japan is the golden child, China is res headed step child. It's obnoxious.
It definitely can be. That's why I've found it incredibly important to try to make local friends (especially those who don't speak english), because too often your fellow foreigners go back home, leaving you alone in Japan.
