I got offered a job to teach in Japan. I was told that I would most likely not work in Tokyo or Kyoto but the program is open to suggestions. I would like to live in a city that is beautiful, historical and has a vibrant culure. What top cities would people recommend?

Potential answerers will know the following info, but I'm including it so that curious readers will know what we're talking about...

Basically, there are three services on the Tokaido Shinkansen (the main high-speed line in Japan): Kodama, Hikari and Nozomi. Kodama stops at all stations en route, Hikari stops at important stations, and Nozomi only serves the largest cities.

All three services run on the same line, but Nozomi can complete the Tokyo-Nagoya journey in 1.5 hours whereas Kodama takes almost 3 hours.

So my question is... how can they run on the same track without crashing into each other?

There are similar track-sharing patterns in Europe, but the headway between trains is longer. For example, there are 2 trains per hour between London and Manchester, but up to 13 per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya!!

My friend and I are going to S. Korea and Japan in Feb. We are sending 8 days in Korea and 5 days in Japan. What should we do in both countries? I believe that we have plenty of time in S. Korea; however, I wish we had more time in Japan. We will be flying in Tokyo, and will probably spend 2 days there. I want to get out of Tokyo for a couple of days, so where should we go that would be beautiful in the winter time?

I'm going to be in Osaka starting on New Years Day, and my beloved college football team is playing in a Bowl Game on the 1st (so it will be around 1 or 2am Japan time I think). Is there a bar in Osaka I can go to that will have big college football bowl games that would be open the night of the 1st (technically morning of the 2nd) or am I just out of luck?

I was in Japan last summer, and I remember especially in the purikura (photo booths) that there was some really sweet techno music playing. Today, I look across a blog with some similar music, but I can't find anything like this? Is there a specific genre of techno that I'm missing?

Please watch the video called "Para Para" on this page to know what I mean (its like 30 sec long): http://tokyojosh.blogspot.com/

Any ideas?

I just wonder why some non-Japanese residents who choose to live in Japan for years choose to remain ignorant about the place they live? Well, some non-Japanese are curious and admittedly well-informed, often more so than the locals, but others make ignorant statements about Japan, similar to the way people who have never been to Japan make innocently ignorant comments about Japan, as if a bird parroting back what it hears...

Why is that?? What is the reason of their failure to see beyond stereotypes??

In Winter, we have many clear and sunny days in Tokyo.
By contrast, it has a heavy snowfall in the Sea of Japan side.

When it had much snow, many of school lessons were halted and we used to play in the ground in my childhood.
I didn't use any other means of transportation without by walk in my school days, so I hadn't got teed off if the trains and buses were delayed.

When it snows, I always get the feeling something fun is going to happen.
It may sound childish, I still excite even now.
How about you?
