With the exception of Tokyo, I absolutely LOVE Japan... As a place to visit. I would NEVER want to live/work there.

- hparadiz 6y agoIt's a great place to retire in my opinion. They are happy to give you a retirement visa if you have half a million in the bank. Japan can be a cheap, high quality, and very respectful place to be if you're a senior.
- cdavid 6y agoThe health system is fairly inhuman though, especially if you can't speak Japanese fluently
- adrianN 6y agoDo you have a link for the retirement visa process? This is the first time I hear about it.
- nly 6y agoWhy would a country with an aging population want more retirees?
- bildung 6y agoIf the retiree brings his/her own pension, how could this be detrimental? An economy isn't production alone, there have to be consumers, too. Importing affluent retirees is essentially propping up domestic demand.
- philliphaydon 6y agoI'm bias as I'm a Kiwi and my wife is Taiwanese, but my top picks for retirement based on everywhere I've traveled is NZ or Taiwan.
