I love Tokyo. Have always wanted to live there at least for a bit. That said, it is always nice to get back to the rice fields of Niigata. It's a decent-sized city population wise, but very sleepy. Living a 5 blocks from the seaside is nice, though. No Bitcoin ATMs here. :(
How long have you been in Tokyo? Great to hear this.
Niigata sounds nice. I've been in Tokyo about 13 years now. It's a wonderfully convenient city to live in, but sometimes I go a little stir-crazy from constantly being surrounded by the concrete jungle. I imagine things are a bit more laid back where you are.
