I'm an American living in Japan. I enjoy the culture and history. The beach in Okinawa isn't bad either. I liked Tokyo but would not like to live there. Too busy. People are very friendly and eager to help. A smile goes a long way here. Hope you get to visit.

Depends on your own attitude towards it. If you try to get out and make friends and see stuff you'll have a great time. If you sit at home eating microwave pizza watching videos you'll be miserable. Try to join classes at the community center like ikebana, calligraphy, cooking, aerobics, etc. Try to travel all over Japan. There are beautiful things to see and fun things to do ALL YEAR LONG. Every weekend there is some kind of festival somewhere in Japan. Food is delicious AND healthy.
I loved riding my bike all over the place. There are so many things to see in a relatively small area, so many narrow streets with old houses built right up against the sidewalk. I could ride in circles for a couple hours looking at everything. I felt safe everywhere and all the time, which I sadly would not say about the US. Also everyone is very honest and serious about their jobs, regardless of what kind of job it is. I wouldn't say that about the US either.
Bad things might be expense, esp when it comes to renting an apt--very small apt w high rent plus all the extra $$$ you have to pay to move in, "thank you" money and whatnot. Extraordinarily hot and muggy summer. And you are constantly asked the same dumb questions like, What do you eat for dinner every night?

Well, it depends a little on where in Japan you are. Tokyo is a huge city that is very busy. Though the different wards of Japan all have different feels. In some areas the first seven floors of every building are various shops and cafes. It is too crowded to have them all on the ground floor. Roppongi is the international area with lots of nightclubs. Shibuya is one of the busiest parts, filled with neon lights and nice shops. I liked Ikebukuro the best. It had a more relaxed feeling and lots of nice bookshops.
Outside of Tokyo it is a bit more peacefull and there are typically alot of shrines and rice paddies. People tend to be nicer to foriengers in the smaller cities. Getting around is very easy on their high speed trains, or shinkansen. The trains were very nice, very clean and had nice big seats. As an American I was worried that the seats would be tiny, but they were bigger than seats on US trains.

Everything is good, people, food, electronics, city and nature.
Japan has long history, you can see historical something.
Tokyo, Yokohama and other big city is exciting.
Many store is open for 24 hours, it's so convinient.
I think crimes rate is less than other country.
