Tom Fay moved from a small village in North Wales to Osaka in 2007 having never visited Japan. Looking back, I've found a few surprising things living in Japan for nearly two decades. Living in Japan has broadened my palette for seafood and local seasonal vegetables, which are readily available. AdvertisementCity living and countryside living are very differentI wish I'd moved to the countryside even sooner. I could see myself living in Japan forever, but part of me would like to move back to the UK.
