just my 2 cents..
I would suggest Osaka or Kobe. It's still 2 of the major cities of Japan but compared to Tokyo, its more laid back. Tokyo is just a night bus away or 2 -3 hours by shinkansen
. Of course I am a bit biase cause I live here, but I have live in both cities and I definitely love living in Kansai Area
and besides, Kyoto is just a train ride away
