Who has traveled to or was stationed in Japan? Would you consider living there? Why?

Sgt Kelli Mays I was stationed there at Yokota. I loved it. I'd move there today if I had a job that would sustain the high cost of living.

Unfortunately, I've never been assigned to Japan... Lots of TDY's, but never assigned... Totally enjoyed each time I was there, and I think if I had been stationed there, I would have totally enjoyed the experience!!! :)

I was stationed there 1951-1953 and took my discharge there, married and lived there while working for the Dept of the Army until 1959. I went back to visit in 2010 and enjoyed it except all the places I had lived no longer existed but were torn down and modernized. Such is progress. It is still beautiful and as I am bi-lingual, except for the high cost of living there now, I would return. If you teach there most schools help find you a less expensive place to live and some provide access to cars. The residential streets are 2 way and about 16 feet or so wide so it is tricky. Trains are excellent transportation and reliable and on time. Busses are plentiful. Give it a try!
