It’s been notably less pleasant for the last two years, for reasons shared with substantially all cities (ex-China, I suppose). Would heartily recommend it otherwise, which would have surprised me when I was younger. In particular, the neighborhoods allow you to pick your vibe, pace, and sense of scale at multiple points along the continuum, so if e.g. the Shibuya scramble crosswalk is not your idea of a good time you can live five minutes away by train and enjoy tree-lined streets and cozy bistros with a bit of outdoor seating instead.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoChinese cities haven’t been doing much better. You have to wear a face mask everywhere, lots of mass people events are curtailed, domestic and international travel is restricted, and your city can go into lockdown at any time (like Xian right now).

- mysecretaccount 5y agoLove that neighborhood. Congrats on buying a spot there - it has been my dream to do the same.
