Of course keeping in mind that a "far suburb of Tokyo" will still have a population of 400,000 or so, roughly comparable to the size of Miami or Oakland. Yokoha

Of course keeping in mind that a "far suburb of Tokyo" will still have a population of 400,000 or so, roughly comparable to the size of Miami or Oakland. Yokohama is definitely not Tokyo, but its population is 3.7 million, larger than Chicago and just a bit smaller than Los Angeles.
- ekianjo 9y agoAgree with your point, but a bed town far away from the Tokyo center is still a bed town. Which not a very pleasant place to live in (99% residential, almost no stores, no restaurants around).
- hudibras 9y agoWell, everybody's experience is different, I guess. But 99% residential and no stores or restaurants is bit hard to believe.
- ekianjo 9y agoWhat I mean is, nothing nearby enough. The zoning is clearly made to favor residential spaces in extremely high proportions, unlike an ordinary city center.
