Hi nomads!
I really like Japan and would love to spend more time there (I know itโs expensive!), but I generally dislike the stereotypical Asian city (aka soulless concrete jungles).
To define what I consider โcoolโ, I really like those young, laid-back, green and open places, where you can bike around and sit outside and meet people, even better with mountains, forests or beaches in range.
I havenโt been to Tokyo (I just supposed it would be too big to fit my expectations), but there might be some good areas there. So far Matsuyama was the closest I found to a โcoolโ place in Japan. Iโve met loads of laid-back โanti-cultureโ people and even hardcore hippies from Japan, so Iโm sure they must gather somewhere
Anyone has some hints where to find a place like this? Or a recommendation of a nice area in one of the big cities?
