Another benefit is Japan 🇯🇵 is a safe country. Almost zero violent assaults or homicides.
It’s an advanced high trust high IQ society.
Tokyo is expensive but housing is reasonably priced
Japan economy has been in a slump since 1990 but it’s not Argentina or Greece or Spain
The sclerotic economy is a minor trade off
Japan has the most Nobel prize winners of a non western country. Japan is also the most westernized country in Asia
Glad to meet a fellow Japanophile here. What ignited your love for Japan?
Also learnt the word sclerotic from you haha

Glad I can teach English!
The late great economist Walter Williams opened my eyes to Japan, Americans of Japanese descent and immigrants from Japan.
Immigrants from Japan are ideal: educated, high skilled and zero criminal.
Japanese-Americans are the most assimilated imo
The Meiji Restoration is fascinating to me. Free trade, free economy, period of tremendous growth and prosperity, 1860-1914.
Crime is almost nonexistent in Japan. Little kids ride subway alone at night in Tokyo. That would never happen in America for demographic reasons.
Japan lacks diversity. USA has too much diversity. I’ve become an enemy of diversity.
