Really nice area, several interesting smaller cities around, quick and easy trip to the big city...
Kind of dominated by big factory production - there are a few huge factories that seem to employ a huge chunk of the population. But this isn`t really a negative or a positive, just a trait of the area.

It`s also in the middle of a pretty historically rich part of Japan, with tons of historical sites if you`re into that sort of thing.

I share Masaegu`s opinion that the area is probably the best part of Japan to live in. I started my life in Japan going to high school in Okazaki, and lived just two local stations away from Anjo. It`s a really nice area.

Big city wonder and awe, but incredibly crowded and expensive, wouldn`t want to live there = Tokyo/surrounding areas.
Tons of touristy entertainment, more temples than you can shake a stick at... But still wouldn`t want to live there = Kyoto/surrounding areas.
Central part of the country, big city with all its convenience but without too much crowding and expense, clean spacious roads, good schools, etc etc = Nagoya/surrounding area (including Anjo).
