Aichi is a really nice place to live, nice city life, but plenty of greenery. Gifu isn`t too bad if you`re into historical stuff - Gifu city is kind of mundane though. Shiga is sort of nice. Shizuoka has too much touristy stuff. Mie is cool if you like futuristic looking chemical factories.

And then there is Fukui, which has come out on top of the "happiest prefecture" "richest prefecture", "most natural beauty" etc etc lists for god only knows how long.

I wish I could help with other prefectures, but as I don`t have THAT much experience outside of this area. My visits to Saitama, Chiba, and Tokyo all sucked to no end. You couldn`t PAY me to live around there.
