It makes you sound VERY well informed, and I think you'd have a much better chance in getting into that town, or at least the general area if you can spout off things like that ^_^ I obviously want to live near Osaka, so I've been looking into the cities/town in Hyogo-ken and Osaka-fu, which is how I found Nishinomiya-shi. I'm looking for a town in Osaka-fu now, so I have a solid third choice. I really think when you put down places like that, it shows you've done your homework, and you don't look like an ass like the people who just say "Yeah, I wanna live in Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto."

That's a good idea. Earlier, I mentioned, my first choice is Toubetsu-cho of the Ishikari subprefecture in Hokkaido or just Ishikari-shi in general, mainly because it's not too far from Sapporo. If I'm not mistaken, on the JR line, you can get to Sapporo in about a half hour or so, although, Ishikari does strike me as being a bit rural.
As for Tochigi, outside of Utsunomiya-shi, I haven't looked into other places in the area, and I only know of Utsunomiya is because of Mr. Tsurumi going on about how he'd taken a trip there to a university for a seminar or something like that. Same with Saitama. I always heard that Saitama wasn't very interesting, though.
