I would disagree. It's a touch too "we're different from the rest of Japan" proud for me.
I prefer Amori and their hot springs.
>>14362604
I was thinking of going there to teach English for a bit, because I've always wanted to live somewhere cold as fuck and in Japan, but away from big cities like Tokyo. Any reason I shouldn't?
>>14362606
None that I can think of.
There is a touch of "You can't walk into my restaurant/bar/hot-spring if you aren't fully Japanese" but that's a very small minority there.
But, of course, the last time I was there was 2012, so maybe thinga have changed
>>14362611
Do you think they'd be more welcoming to foreigners in Aomori?
>>14362606
The architecture feels less Japan than other parts of Japan. Hokkaido was developed pretty recently and was planned by foreigners so you see western style buildings everywhere.
It is still pretty nice but doesn't feels as exotic as other parts of Japan. On the other hand you have plenty of little habited places to explore.

I feel like there japan in general is pretty welcoming. And I found out that here in the university there are many parties where foreigners can get in for free. It doesn't says that you have to be an student and nobody checks IDs so I guess you can get in just fine. Just keep in mind that they aren't raves with lots of alcohol, they are nerdy parties with talking, snacks, juice/tea and bingo. Parties with alcohol usually are paid but in many foreigners get discount. They are events for natives to meet foreigners/practice English.

That sounds comfy as hell.
>>14362459
Its missing the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin stolen by Russia.
Filled with nature.
I think it was Hokkaido anywya that was the most natural place. Lots of lakes too iirc.
>>14362923
No they weren't. Both were first gained in war and lost in war. Japan has no bigger claim to them than Russia does. The people in those lands is not and was never japanese.
There are a bunch of cute hot spring monkeys there supposedly.
>>14362662
yes, /v/, "comfy as hell"
>>14362459
It gets really, really cold during the winter. It's also cozy, and it feels different from the rest of Japan. I loved going there back in January 2013, definitely my favorite prefecture.
>>14362519
Asahikawa as well. Bigger than Hakodate, although not nearly as interesting. They have a zoo, though.
My only japanese friend lives there. She's a NEET housewife
>>14363142
>NEET housewife
Oxymoron.
Cold. LOTS of snow. Like, snow on the ground 6 months a year and feet and feet of snow.
Think japanese alaska.
>>14363198
Sounds awesome.
>>14363475
One day, the jp dream...
>>14363198
How can it be a frozen wasteland at one end of the country and a tropical paradise at the other? Is Japan really that long? I always assumed it would be a bit like the UK lengthwise.
>>14363475
>>14363483
Wouldn't there be a risk of a cave-in?
>>14363598
Water currents and Okinawa is really far away.
Also it still have snowed only once and the snow melted right away. It should start accumulating in december and stay until february I think. There is no way it can have snow 6 months a year but when it snows I heard it snows a lot.

The proper term is Ainu
>>14362459
Lots of small farms, villages, and then there's Sapporo.
Called 'snow land' because it has the second highest density of snowfall per year in the world is there. It competes with some town in the north pole in Russia and Kamchatka. Like 99% of all Japanese Hockey and figure skaters come from here.

Rightfully Russian territory.
>>14366921
Why is /jp/ Hokkaido?
I get the /jp/ split from /a/ reference but still.
>>14362459

It's also cold.
>>14363475

It's literally the last stretch of Frappe Land in Mario Kart 64 in real life.
