Nagoya or Saitama? Best city to live in Japan?

Hello everyone!

I’m planning to move from Turkey to Japan, and I’m currently undecided about which city to choose. My goal is to live in a place that is not too expensive but also not too far from central areas. Right now, I’m considering two options: Nagoya and Saitama.

Here are my priorities:

University Education: I’m planning to attend a university in either Tokyo or Nagoya.

Cost of Living: I’m looking for a city that is more affordable than Tokyo but still relatively close.

Job Opportunities: I plan to work in Japan after graduation, so living in an area with good job prospects (especially with large companies) would be a plus.

Social Life: I don’t want to live in a very rural area, but I also prefer not to be in an overly crowded metropolis.

Do you think Nagoya or Saitama would be a better fit for me? Do you have any other city or region recommendations?
I’d love to hear from people who have lived in these cities! 😊

Thanks!
