My partner and I had the pleasure of visiting Japan last year and were deeply impressed. We are now seriously exploring the possibility of relocating. The exceptional public transportation, food culture, and overall quality of life were major highlights for my partner. For me, as an outdoor painter and gardener, the opportunity to engage with the landscape is a primary draw.
We are in the late stages of our careers, planning for a retirement lifestyle. Our research has led us to consider quieter, spacious areas like Saitama Prefecture, which offers proximity to Tokyo with a more residential character. My partner really wants closer go Kyoto. While we have financial stability through pension programs and have budgeted for both a home purchase and necessary renovations, we acknowledge significant gaps in our knowledge.
Our core challenge is navigating the logistical and legal complexities of relocation as non-working residents. We are at the very beginning of our research phase, gathering information from online resources and video platforms. Reditors, please provide sincere thoughts questions you think we should be asking and resources?
