Hey there!
I currently live in Kyoto with my Japanese wife. We’ve been here for a little bit more than a year and are both starting to get tired of the city and are planning to move somewhere else around this time next year (we’re stuck here for almost another year due to studies). Our biggest pain points here is the crazy amount of tourists, the extremely hot and long summer as well as cost of living.
Were very much thinking about Sapporo, I’m Swedish so I’m used to and like the cold climate and miss real winters. She is originally from Hokkaido and her family is there so being close to them is also a big plus.
Basically I’m curious to hear from other foreigners who currently live there. How has your experience been? Anything specific we should know about the city and take into account?
