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.

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
