JAPAN is a beautiful country outside of its overpopulated and gray megacities; however, one will find Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and other Japanese cities to be very clean (esp considering the number of inhabitants), apart from air quality in the largest cities, and crime remains quite low. The mass transit system, including local trains and subways, bullet and various express trains, buses and domestic air travel are second to none. Things show up and depart on time!
Many expatriate transferees and their family members, at first reluctant to come for a posting, often find themselves unhappy to leave! Expats find Japan, although very transient for the international community, to be rewarding from a social aspect, and career-wise. The opportunities to make friends hailing from various parts of the globe is very appealing and parents have to worry little of their children outside of comfort zones as back home. Children and parents often find the international schools to be very conducive to educational social and emotional growth.
