How has your experience been moving to completely new areas?

I am currently living and working in Ibaraki, but for a few months now I have had this urge/curiosity to try and find a job (no English teaching ideally) in a completely new area. Somewhat countryside, but with some conveniences and pretty nature spots.

For those of you who have moved to new areas, how was your experience? Anything good, any challenges? Would you recommend any certain prefectures or cities?
