Help!! I'm immigrating to Japan!!

[MikeyJones]

I'll be moving there in the next 2 years to escape the suffocating right-wing stranglehold that's on this country. Can any Japanese people on this board and/or others who have lived there explain to me about the culture, government, society, economy, etc. in Japan? I'll be living in Tokyo so that should solve any potential transportation problems as I've heard they have a 1st class public transportation system.

But just explain to me if you would like to what Japan is like. What is life like there. Is it better than here or worse? Is there anything I should keep in mind when I move there?

Thanks to everybody who answers in advance.
