I love city life, but once you go past a certain point there is nothing but negatives. I can`t see any reason - other than employment related - that someone would choose to suffer the negatives of Tokyo... If it were the only city in Japan, I could understand. But I can get all the advantages of a Japanese big city, for cheaper at that, elsewhere.
It may just be me, but every time I go to Tokyo I seriously can`t wait to leave.

Tokyo is not at all negative. This city has the ability to manage lot of challenging tasks much better than other big cities in the world. I was really surprised how clean this city is!
Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Ueno, Ikebukuro, Asakusa, Akihibara, Harajuku, Roppongi and so on are kind of Tokyo districts which are different from each others! I assume maybe Asakusa or Ueno are less clean than Ginza but comparing to other world big cities the mentioned districts are still very clean.
Tokyo offer great advantages for example in various restaurant specialities, shopping etc. and has a sophisticated infrastructure. But of course it depends on each one and above all on the budget! For example somebody who is spending lot of time in the Roppongi bars and clubs would of course spend lot of money! lol...
Fact is in Tokyo you have lot of choice.
Vancouver is for example a clean big city too and I'd say there are many clean cities in Canada. But that's my opinion.
The organization is everything and Tokyo is a well organized city!
