In March along with our lottery for the art museum tickets we conducted a little survey we would like to share with you. I surely know why I am in Japan and (I hope) most of you know that as well. Reasons are as diverse as there are types of Kitkats (I just tried the sake flavor recently. It really tastes and smells like sake). But we were wondering in what stage of life you are in right now and eventually, which is the best life stage (for you) to spend in Japan. Maybe some of you think ?hey, I love it here and I want to stay forever? but I am sure some of youthought at some point that as soon as xyz happens, you want to return to your country because Japan does not seem to fulfill your needs in that respect.
60 people from 25 countries between 20 and 55 years took part in our little online survey. Of those 60 people, 40 people were between 20 and 35 years old and around 70% of all participants were female. Our survey looked like this:
As a foreigner living in Japan, which life stage do you feel is the best for living in Japan"

(Rate from 1 to 5 with 1 = best, 2 = good, 3 = undecided, 4 = not so good, 5 = worst)

Single = "

Couple = "

Family = "

Senior = "

The result showed one very clear loser but participants could not decide on a clear winner.

According to our participants, being a single while in Japan is as favorable as being in a relationship. M. from the Philippines wrote that she thinks ?being single in Japan gives you time to explore...
