I spent 4 years in and around Yokosuka with many many trips to Toyko and surrounding area. I love that area. There are so many places to visit. I quickly became a master at the Train system, so getting around was second nature.
Living in a Japanese house, getting know my neighbors was great. i guess that's why I like the area so much. It's a personal attachment
I had friends who lived in Sasebo and after spending some time there, I was ready to come back to Toyko. I enjoyed it more than down south.
