    Great question. I know a lot of Tokyo residents want to live in Jiyugaoka. I think I read a survey that said Fujisawa was a place where a lot of people wanted to live, too.

    Fukuoka Fukuoka, the largest city on the southern island of Kyushu, is consistently ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world. It combines big city living with being close to nature. It has most of the foreign-owned chain stores you would expect in a large Japanese city, as well as an excellent transportation network. It also has pro sports such as baseball team Softbank Hawks, J.League soccer team Avispa, and hosts the Fukuoka sumo basho once a year.

    In my experience, Tsukuba is also very nice. It is close to Tokyo, but still safe and calm! Also, there are many offers and help for international people.

    I think this is so dependent on personal taste. I've lived in Tokyo and Niigata, city and country, and both have pros and cons. If I could pick, I'd choose somewhere that didn't have the heavy snowfall that Niigata does, but I don't know that I'd choose downtown Tokyo, either. I really like Shimane and Yamaguchi, but I've only experienced them from a travel perspective. I don't know what it would be like to live there.

Izu Islands exploration!

Genkidesu asked about Hachijojima, a place I've visited twice. Has anybody else explored the other islands in the Izu chain? What do you recommend for a solo traveler? A couple or family?

Is your locale suffering from overtourism or is it...crickets?

I've lived on the periphery of Tokyo, commuted in for some years, and finally pulled back. Is the city or region you live in crowded with tourists from abroad or is it an off-the-beaten track location? Do the claims of "overtourism" ring true to you or do you think it's overblown?

What shampoo brand do you recommend for dandruff?

I have been dealing with this dandruff situation for quite a while now and I still can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this problem. I have tried several shampoo brands/products like head and shoulders, ANGFA organic shampoo and the Honey Deep Moist Shampoo. And none of them worked so far. Some say it's because of hot shower. Well I do shower every day, but I don't use hot shower all the time. I rinse my hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner. I also tried applying shampoo every other day just to make my hair less dry but I still none of those tricks are working. If there is a product that you recommend that suits every man's budget then I would appreciate it so much.

What are the must-sees in your prefecture (beyond the big three)?

Sustainable tourism is a hot topic that some City Cost members have covered in their blogs. For those correspondents outside the Big Three - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka - what do you recommend visitors must see in your prefecture? My home base is Chiba Prefecture. I highly recommend visitors check out Narita Omotesando to connect with Edo's past and visit Shinshoji to get a sense of the history of Japan. The adjacent city, Sakura, is another I recommend for the National History Museum and Edo to Taisho era streetscapes.
