Yeah, I think I'll list some of the larger cities/more populated prefectures as my preferences in case I'm actually one of the few that "win the lottery" and wind up in Tokyo/Osaka/etc. (it would after all be a very interesting experience!) Of course, if I end up in a smaller city/town far away from the largest Japanese cities, I won't be too disappointed.

Ideally, I would like a city that is large enough to have a good mass transit system, either bus or rail, as long as it's affordable and effective because I do not plan to drive!
