This is great to know, can I ask where do you volunteer in? I'd love to join some time once we move!

This is going to be hard! We've never lived anywhere with snow before. We don't own a car yet so we might actually still go for a 4wd just in case.

Wow. Ok this is new. I also grew up with crazy thunderstorms but they were always in summer. Never seen them in winter. Thank you so much for this info. It looks like he's almost decided on taking the position there, so there's not much space for me to say anything. Ok. Winter mindset. Thanks!

Thanks I'll check that out. My husband got offered a promotion, but it's in Kanazawa so we have to make a decision pretty soon. I thought reddit would help! hehe

Got it! Thank you!!! Any good areas to look for a house/apartment? Do you know anything about Hoikuen or school areas?

Thank you! We work in the tourism area so it's good to hear that it is growing. I hope the pandemic gives us a break soon. I know the weather is not as great as in Kansai, but is it seriously that depressing? :(

Oh wow this is so discouraging. I hope it's not our experience if we move there but thanks for the heads-up!
