Really, despite the slight transportation inconvenience - if you`re heading to Japan to actually be going to Japan and to learn something while you`re here... I see nothing wrong with being deep in the countryside. You`ll always be somewhere with people. There would be no need for a teacher if you were honestly somewhere without.

I`ve heard, by the way, that just as many people apply for Saitama as Tokyo. Somewhere along the line it has gained the reputation of being where to go if you want to be close but not actually in Tokyo... Which is why it seems like half of the people who`ve lived in Japan have lived in Saitama. In the end, it isn`t likely to be any better a choice than simply writing Tokyo.
