      That’s an impractical joke answer to a lot since they’re strict about outsiders but it’s a genuine possibility for my Japanese wife and I.

      I guess I best apologize to Duolingo and get back to practicing my 日本語…

      I’ve heard Southern Japan is basically depopulated and a tropical paradise. Is that true?

        By southern do you mean Kyushu and shikoku? I haven’t been to Shikoku but it does look like a Paradise from when Degawa and other celebrities went there on TV.

        Kyushu is also pretty tropical, but more populated, and has more tourist attractions, thus more tourists.

        Both are beautiful. I haven’t been all over, but Shikoku looks more tropical than Kyushu.

        Unfortunately they also are where most of the summer typhoons wreck havoc, landslides destroy the most property and bury the most people. Most of japan besides Kanto, Hokkaido and touhoku are pretty tropical so for example if you move to areas around Kanazawa you can get most of the Paradise with less natural disasters. If it is just for a visit, however, Kyushu is amazing. Kumamoto, Beppu, Fukuoka are beautiful in their own unique ways.

          It was kind of funny to watch Hanzawa Naoki, and they’d be like: “As punishment, we’re transferring you to this city outside of Tokyo!” And they’d be like: omgz a fate worse than death. And I’d look up the city and it’d be a place with great public transportation, a famous temple, and amazing local cuisine.

            To me that would be a fate worse than death.

            I’d rather take my chances with the typhoons and landslides.
