>> Japan's Osaka is "Gold," Tokyo, Sapporo, and Kobe are "Silver." Kyoto, Ikoma in Nara Prefecture, Fujisawa in Kanagawa Prefecture, and Matsuyama made it to "Bronze." In Asia, Singapore and Seoul, South Korea, were also rated as "Gold."

Fujisawa seems like a place foreigners would love.

Thank you, UK.

Seems like they might have been paid to rank them.

>> In principle, cities with a population of over 300,000 were assessed in five areas: citizens, governance, environment, economy, and transportation. For "citizens," they evaluated the education system and access to culture, and for "governance," they assessed citizen participation in decision-making processes and transparency in city management.

Do they consider the hellish commute when deciding livability?
15: anonymous 2024/06/21 10:38:23 ID:0ek1
The number of scooters, narrow roads, and crazy traffic jams in Osaka are insane.

I'm from Ikoma, what's so good about it?
It's a countryside, nothing's open late at night,
full of old folks and delinquents,
no McDonald's, Saizeriya, or Torikizoku in front of the station,
Kintetsu dominates, and bus and train fares are high.

>> Cities ranked 1 to 37 are "Gold cities," 38 to 100 are "Silver cities," and 101 to 250 are "Bronze cities." The institute does not rank "Gold" cities by score, considering all as "the happiest cities in the world."

I'm a Tokyo-to-Osaka mover,
I never want to leave, it's too convenient.

Well, from a foreigner's perspective, even Osaka would seem extremely safe, so there wouldn't be any downsides from a Japanese perspective.
29: anonymous 2024/06/21 10:43:04 ID:JIsg
Northern Osaka is easy to live in.
31: anonymous 2024/06/21 10:43:36 ID:JwQ8
It's a real problem that Tokyo has high rents and is overcrowded even though the majority are middle to low-income earners.
35: anonymous 2024/06/21 10:55:15 ID:hbkW
People in Osaka seem friendly and warm on the surface,
but once they know you have no money (or won't spend any),
they often turn cold very quickly.

That said, Osaka people are genuinely helpful.
I've been told my shoelaces were untied and to be careful because there was a murder nearby yesterday.

I'm from Kyoto, and I'm puzzled by the livability rating.

If you want to live in the countryside, live outside the loop line.
If you want some urban feel, live north of Tennoji. It's easy to understand.

Kyoto isn't that easy to live in.
I didn't think the people were particularly mean, but everything is half-baked except for the traffic jams.

Is a North Korea-like place like Singapore really livable?

For the rich, yeah.

Tokyo is the best, no doubt.
This is just contrarian.

It's reasonable that Singapore is top-class.
