Topic 2: From Tokyo to Kyoto: A Foreign Mom’s Journey of Settling in Kansai
Q1. Have you relocated from one prefecture to another in Japan? How did you like the new location? If you have never relocated, please mention which prefecture you would like to live in the future.
Q2. Telling a Kyotoite that they play the piano well amounts to complaining that their music is too loud. Have you heard of any other unspoken customs performed in Kyoto or another prefecture?
Q3. Have you had a tough time due to unfamiliar custom, practices, or characteristics of the people?
Q4. Are you prejudiced against people from a particular prefecture? Are there any significant differences in mentality of residents between prefectures?
