shiiid...... it would be time to ride out for the family. gotta be a nice city or suburb town on the outskirts
Once you get out of Tokyo Japan is VERY cheap from a housing and everything else perspective.
^^50 min from Osaka International airport.
The main issue with Japan will always be salary though. Median is like 4 million nationwide, and it is much lower when you dont account for Tokyo. ¥4 Million yen is like $30k, and that would be balling even in a city like Kyoto. It sucks because, unless you can work remotely for a US based company on a us based scale, there is nothing you can do to make it better. Japan isnt like America where you can job hop to get raises, or even work harder to get a raise above anybody else. Japanese companies give you money based on your station in life.
Say you get a job in a big corporation(means EVERYTHING for a man in that country) and for example lets use somebody who is 30 years old now(Graduated from university 10 years ago in 2012)
You start at 4 million yen. Nice you are starting right at the median. Guess what.Your raises are going to be 1000 yen at best, and most likely 500.¥1000 yen is like 10 bucks(less actually), and you better be grateful for it. This isnt negotiable.
So today, new years eve night 2022 in Japan its 9pm and you are about to leave the office, and you want to get a raise. How will you raise your ¥4.1 million salary? You need to get married. Marriage will net you ~¥5 million raise depending on your company. This is a 1 time raise, and quiet as kept if you cant keep this woman(divorce) you will automatically take yourself out of any management track you could have been working for. At this point, your raises will be minimal for the rest of your time at the company(rest of your working life). "おそらく、あなたは私たちが思っていた人ではありません"(you aint who we thought you were boy) will be every annual review for you. So if you are a regular 32 year old guy who is not getting married for another 2-3 years? No raise for you yet.
You also get bumps on kids. So you have a kid, extra ¥1 million.Your kid starts primary school? ¥1 million raise. They applying for high school? Extra ¥1 million.
Also you cant sidestep any of this. If you work for a company, and everybody else in your class(who graduated with, or the few years before or after, you) starts moving up and get families and you dont? Your money stops. You dont even get a look at raises or higher management tracks. You are persona non grata. We cant have you sitting around here wifeless representing our company on any level. Your manager will start to get shit from his manager about you being unmarried, and if he doesnt find you one(which he will try) he will make it VERY apparent to you and your peers that you need to find something(I use this term specifically as they would use it) to marry. This is important because Japanese companies know they pay the wife. Husbands dont see paychecks when they get married. It falls under the domain of the house, which is the womans place.
So mr 32 year old 2022 grad. You are making less than you did a decade ago. Happy new years!

Fuck that, Tokyo is a dope ass city. Then again... Kyoto ain't that far
Is it because Godzilla is on its way back?
everybody says its one of the best places to live in the world..
but I question that tho...
If its all that, why the suicide rate so high??
it cant all be because of short term employment....
I never got the vibe to even want to visit japan
but I know a few people whose dream it is
to live there...I think they obsessed with
anime bitches...or some shit...
South Asia is more my thing I love that
blazing hot tropical weather and the
beaches out there...

Live? I dunno. Seeing folks pack into those trains after work is wild as hell.
But to visit...Tokyo is fucking dope. Chicks are dressed up real nice walking around the city. It's a very clean ass city which was surprising to me. No trash in the subway, clean ass public bathrooms which is wild. And I felt safe hanging out at 4 in the am walking around by myself in the streets. Oh, and yes... Dope ass places to eat. In all the popular hubs around the city (Shinjuku, Shibuya, etc), every spot felt like I was in times square. It was a sensory overload.
The other major cities are a nice break from the people density... Sapporo is chill (figuratively, literally). Kyoto was nice as well. I didn't get to venture as far west as I wanted. Next time though...
I do too much business in japan to air the dirty laundry out like that
. It isnt all negative either. Japanese companies are very paternal in your daily life. You are screwed on raises and things like that but you know they do other things for you. You have to damn near kill someone to get fired. Like seriously, I dont think there is a word in the language for it. If you are moving into a house on top of the raise they give you for that they'll pay the moving fees, your kid is playing baseball so you can leave work still get paid...ect. Its why the big companies have such a huge appeal. A lot comes with it even though from a monetary standpoint its a much shittier deal than we get in the states.One of my old coworkers actually made a youtube video about his time at Microsoff Japan. I work at Microsoft here in the states, but a large part of my work serves as being a technical resource for the Japan team when they deal with customers there. An american face to rubberstamp a solution
Want to know how crazy the difference in labor is even at the same company for the same job?
People with my specialized role and experience working in Japan make ~¥12 million(90k), which is astronomical for most people there. Thats almost 9 million after taxes(aka enough money to have a wife and 3 apartment subsidized sugar babies). Our new grads make over that in the US. All about the cost of living and the cost of labor.
I really like Nagoya. You get big city vibes without all the damn people
Plus you can actually drive there.

Well shit, countryside is where you wanna be. Them monsters always head to the big cities to destroy shit!
Now compare this to the firing of 300k black women in America. The women of most cultures are the real economic engine. Think of the women of Palestine.
