I reside on the west coast, Nagasaki, because Tokyo is just ugh, clique to the max and is more tourist-y than anything. It's reminiscent of Disney World, what with the giant amounts of people, irritating ways to walk, tiny streets etc.
In Nagasaki, it's a more laid back atmosphere, the people are extremely kind and hospitable, food is so, so, SO much better and there's much more variety, shorter buildings, better skate and bike scene and so forth, cheaper living with above average salary.
Maybe it's because I am older and have a family and am from New York that I just can't enjoy Tokyo much anymore or don't even want to go to there anymore.
