[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably many of those 60,000 some Americans living there have some Japanese ancestry or have a spouse who is Japanese. My spouse’s company has a number of people based in Japan, and they all either have Japanese ancestry themselves or their spouse does. [/quote] This. Or they lived there previously and have other connections and at least some language skills. I don’t think many people decide at 60, “I will move to Japan” without any connection to it. Japanese culture is a significant change from US/Western culture. I am a city person who loves public transportation, Japanese food, and doesn’t mind a small home, but I would struggle with that transition in a way I wouldn’t struggle with moving to Berlin or Vienna (where I speak the language and there are fewer major cultural differences, IMO).[/quote]
