hehe ... depends on what you're looking for.
living and visiting are different ... visiting and looking for "Japan" then don't come to Sapporo ... skiing is great though
hmmm ... I'd go to Hiroshima again ... the nuclear bombing museum was very good (low key and straight to the point -- no overdoing anything since that event speaks more than enough for itself).
hmmm ... if I was single --- "OSAKA!" I just love that crazy city.

And don't forget that Tokyo is a prefecture, consisting of several towns and communities, not exactly the never-ending megalopolis we usually have on mind. 45 mins with Chuo Line from Tokyo Station and you feel you're at the country-side.
Well, difficult question - of course, Tokyo and Kyoto should be on the list. But I wouldnt also miss Kamakura, which is actually just a small village south of the capital, but has more than 80 temples and shrines plus (dont laugh, because it doesnt look like it) the most peaceful cemetary I have ever seen
Cheers,

hmmm ... expensive is a relative term.
My friend just went to the states during the Christmas holidays. He was surprised since he spent more on dinner at Denny's than he would've here in Japan.
Some things, are just outrageous. Apples/Oranges at $3 per 1 or 2.
Other things are cheap.
Airfare for you should be much more cheaper.
hmmm ... really difficult to say. I used to think that Japan was fairly expensive along with European prices but now-a-days I'm not so sure anymore.
Why wait? The timing is very good right now with a strong Dollar and cheap Japanese domestic prices. 2-3 years I really wouldn't know.

Too bad airfare would cost more than flying to Thomas's house!
I live in Japan!!! Domestic flghts are just outrageous.
My wife works for one of the big Japanese carriers. She told me that ANA and JAL actually offer cheap tickets for domestic flights, and that at the moment air fares have hit rock bottom (9-11). They also have these coupon tickets (25.000 yen per coupon or so).
You're welcome to hop over to my house anytime, but Naha is still cheaper from Chitose.

about Nagasaki...
There is a big park called 'Haus ten bosch' (looks like a small town in Holland), a Chinese town (you can eat 'Chanpon'...noodle with vegetables and seafoods) , old church and 'Dejima'(one of a park..few years ago, they re-built 'Dejima' as it were in 18C.)
