Moving to Kagawa

Im looking to move to Kagawa/Takamatsu to play hockey and teach english for 6 months. Can anyone advise me on the cost of rent and other expenses for that area? Im finding it hard to see any results by googling. Thanks.

    Hi there. A good place to start would be the 'area' page on this site. Here's the page for Kagawa; https://www.city-cost.com/city/kagawa This article will give you a general idea of the costs to get set up in Japan. It's based on prices in Tokyo so expect things to be a little cheaper in Kagawa; https://www.city-cost.com/articles/92-living_food_money_transportation Here's some of the costs you might expect for food;https://www.city-cost.com/articles/130-food_shopping The Kagawa University web page might have some useful links;http://www.kagawa-u.ac.jp/kagawa-u_eng/english/for-newcomer/kagawa-university-international-house/living-costs/ Hope this'll help you get started. I'll post more as and when.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
