As far as Japan, it isn't wise to live in Tokyo if you are not more than an employee, because of the terrible working culture and rush commuting hours.
I live in the city of Kagoshima to lead a better and more leisurely life, with more free time and less overtime hours. After graduating from college in Tokyo, I got back to my hometown and now I live with my parents, believing that it's a wise and rational way to save money.
