JAPAN: what regions would you recommend for an English teacher to live and work? I am looking for teaching opportunities in Japan, but, am a little lost as to which regions are safe, healthy, and good for living and working. I was hoping that someone who is familiar with Japan would guide me and/or make some suggestions for living/working. I really like the idea of Tokyo - as I like big cities, anime, manga, and JPOP. What areas of Japan would you recommend and why? Thanks for your help! ~Bre
