I feel the same way. Every time I mention Japan and my wanting to live there for a while or visit, people always mention Tokyo. I then surprise them by saying, "I actually don't have much interest in Tokyo. I'd never want to live in a place like Tokyo, but there are some places I wouldn't mind seeing there." I'd then name some places I wouldn't mind residing in, and most places I named were usually outside of big cities. One place I've mentioned, that is a bit random, is Ishikari, or a semi-rural area, and of course I get "
" looks. ^^
