"Retiring in Japan can be a very rewarding experience. One of the most rewarding aspects is the opportunity to explore the country's rich culture and history. Japan is home to many beautiful temples, shrines, and gardens, as well as a variety of traditional festivals and events. Additionally, retirees can take advantage of the country's excellent public transportation system to explore the many attractions and activities available. Japan also offers a wide range of health care services, making it a great place to retire for those who need medical attention. Finally, the country's low cost of living makes it an attractive option for retirees looking to stretch their retirement savings," wrote a member who made the move to Japan.
