I've known two people who moved to Japan and both moved back, saying that formality became too much of a pressure for living there. I really

Japan and want to move there, but I'm afraid that I might have the same problem. Can anyone answer my questions? Also, can anyone suggest a place to move that would be close to Tokyo (maybe in) but not toooooooo expensive to check out. Or maybe another city/area near a city that would be more fun or whatever?
