Currently live in Vancouver, Canada and we will be moving to Japan this summer for a couple of years to take care of aging parents. They’re in south Osaka but if I’m honest I’m not a huge fan of Osaka the city. I LOVE Kansai culture more than Kanto… but visually Osaka is just too industrial.
Any recommendations for places for someone coming from Vancouver. It’s a wet, green and gorgeous (expensive) city with fantastic access to wilderness and remote hikes… and I don’t expect the same but I’m looking for ideas.
My wife likes the convenience of the city and I don’t mind, as long as I can get out of the city. I considered Kobe for its access to the sea and mountains…. It any other ideas or suggestions that will make me less homesick a year in?
