Hello all! It's not even a year since I got back from living in Japan...and I am already planning to go back. Before when I was there I lived in Ibaraki as a college student, but this time around I want to teach English somewhere else.
So I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good cities to live. My biggest concern is a city with a mild Japanese summer. I know it will be hot and humid everywhere that I go, but I was looking for someplace that was cooler than most of Japan - like Aomori, Akita...places like that. Does anyone live in those prefectures that could tell me what it's like? I really want to stay away from big cities - I went to Tokyo every other week and for me there was nothing to do there, and after going to Kyoto twice I was pretty set with that city (although I would go back for the food - yum!).
I figured Hokkaido would be out since travel from there would be too expensive, and I figured the cost of living was way up there as well.
Any comments on places you all live would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
