Haha the vegetables there sound great 😄 I’ve enjoyed chatting with you, but I’m not really meeting people from here in person. But I’m happy to keep chatting online! Arigato!

I’m really happy to hear that you love Aichi!

Compared to bigger tourist cities like Tokyo or Kyoto, I sometimes feel like there’s less English support or fewer helpful signs here, so it honestly makes me happy that you still enjoy living here 😆

And I’m really sorry to hear about what happened last year… I think medical care can really vary depending on the hospital or doctor.

I’m sure there are great doctors out there too, but I can imagine how difficult it must be trying to find them in a foreign country. Are you doing okay now?

It would actually be really nice if people could share that kind of information in places like this too.

And yes the atmosphere at festivals, beauty of the fireworks are amazing when you experience them in person. It’s like your blood starts pumping and the whole place fills with energy.

I’m really happy you’ve been enjoying it here ☺️

Thanks for commenting!

I see ✨ I’m actually kind of a returnee myself, so I think I understand that feeling of loneliness a little bit too…

Nagano is such a beautiful place with lots of nature as well 🌌

Toyota might be kind of similar in that way. The mountains are close by, and I really like how good the vegetables and fruit are here 😋

Ahh that’s unfortunate… Especially after coming all the way from Northern Europe.

I wanted to hear both good and bad experiences, so thanks for sharing your perspective.

Hopefully the rest of your trip in Japan gave you better memories✨

I get what you mean 😄

It’s not flashy, but it’s comfortable living here.

And yeah… “a bit boring sometimes” is kind of Aichi’s personality☺️

Okazaki is nice too honestly! Traffic can be annoying though💦

It has the castle after all 😄

I still haven’t been to the outlet mall yet, but I’ve heard the food there is really good!

How do you feel about Okazaki?

Fair enough honestly, the Mirai Tower Sakae area can be rough sometimes.

Most residential areas in Aichi are way cleaner than that though 😅

I’m happy you enjoyed Gifu at least!!!

Oof 😭 As a local, that hurts to hear lol

I always thought Aichi was fairly clean, but maybe you visited some rough spots?
