First day in as an American in Tokyo and I'm already impressed.
>zero homeless people
>zero drug added fentanyl zombies wandering the streets
>almost zero trash on the streets
>almost no graffiti
>every worker is in a uniform
>everyone is nice and courteous
>everything is extremely organized
>sense of national pride
>nearly homogenous population and culture
>foreign influences are still reined (for example French restaurants/shops are staffed by Japanese people)
>safe streets and safe public transportation
>everyone is quiet and reserved
>every device is as automated as possible
>every toilet has a bidet and is super advanced
>tons of cute anime women in all the advertising
>everyone dressed modestly, zero slobs, no women in trashy tattoos
>no LGBTQ shit seen so far except by foreigners
>almost everyone is a healthy weight
>everyone seems to obey the laws

The only bad part is that the langauge is hard af to learn, far too hard for me. That seems to be a major barrier to entry here, but at least most things have English subtitles which is nice. I am not even a weeb, but it really makes America seem pathetic. It's disgusting. I'm sure Japan has bad sides too, but if this how their largest city is, it really puts us to shame.

Indians and SEA immigrants manage just fine. You just need to put your head down and do the work

Actually Japanese men are surprisingly good at picking up girls. They're very smooth and good at flirting. At least this was my impression. I went to some bars, and I also saw a random Japanese guy pick up a pretty white girl next to me at a coffee place.
In general I noticed that Japanese girls really enjoy the flirting and the excitement, but they stop there. It's not easy at all to pick up a Japanese girl. I once watched two white guys hit on two hot girls for over 40 minutes, and despite all the laughter and everything, they couldn't get them to come with them at the end.

I don't know. I have struggled with Spanish despite taking classes for it, but maybe I learn languages so slowly because English is used so widely and it is a crutch for me.

I disagree. Much of what I listed is a severe issue in the US. Japan being better in this regard is an extreme change for me.

This is night and day compared to much of the US. We have some ok places in America, but most huge cities like NYC are total shitholes compared to Tokyo as far as living standards go.

Are you also in Tokyo? I did not go go any bars yet but I have been tempted to considering how pretty/cute most of the women here are. Very few ugly/bad looking ones. The language barrier will be difficult for me and I also don't know how they eould even feel about a foreigner hitting on them/asking them out. I don't want to intrude especially considering how little I actually know about Japan anyways.

Japan is actually a very easy language to speak. Only difficult part is the writing system or systems.

I am from North Carolina. It is better than some states, things are generally pretty ok by American standards, if you are in a rural or suburban area most of the time. But we certainly have more than our fair share of issues in NC. It doesn't help that the northerners from NY/NJ keep moving to my state and bringing their issues with them either.

With except of public safety stuffs everything you listed are superficial and not necessarily preferable.
"japan is superior because it has anime girls on the ads". C'mon now

There are definitely homeless people (they tend to congegate in parks) in Tokyo but they're less obvious and intrusive than in America.

Are you in asakusa? Great spot.
Worst thing about Japan in that businesses open at 11 and close down at 18.
There's little to nothing to do outside these hours other than the occasional visit to the convi stores
