Thinking about moving here, want second opinions.

Hello, would love local help with this decision, I am considering moving to the area around Minoo Q mall.

I'm INTJ-A 2w1 23M and I'm considering moving to Osaka, Japan in 2-3 years, here's what my research came with:

  • In 2028 I'll move there on a working vacation visa for 6 months to live there and experience the pros and cons properly, and have 6 months to reflect and decide.

  • their attitude, values and principles are generally much closer to mine compared to where I live right now.

  • feel very out of pocket and alienated here even while living ideally in my circumstances with my dream job a healthy social circle and all, and in Osaka there is an international company that is practically the ideal dream job (Phillips medical electromechanical QC),
    I'll have 6 years of experience in my field by the time a move is on the table.

  • I thought specifically in 2 years because I already verified I could leave my current job I'm happy with and being able to come back after the test for an evening better position.

  • I have this very specific calling to Osaka, specifically the suburban area to the north, I'll most likely be able to buy a house, even without a mortgage.

  • the area is safe from tsunamis, earthquakes and rock slides.

  • in terms of finances, matching vibe, safety, imagining a future raising a family there, feeling of this could be my day to day life with less friction.

  • I also viewed cons and possible mishaps and they don't seem major and/or a dead end.

  • I am also medically diagnosed with Autism and ADHD in my country on the level of a Japanese grade 2 certificate, even though I'm a well established young adult, still working on how to manage a Japanese certificate.

I still feel there's might be a catch, it seems too good, I'm searching for the non-'grass is greener on the other side' mentality and objectivity to know if this is a good choice.

The bigger the choice the greater the implications and total shift in my life that are really good but far from peaceful.

Hell, I don't know if I'll decide to do the 6 months test next year and not wait so much.
