which is your favorite Japanese city

[Caldari Ghost]

For me it's Saitama because it's named after my favorite anime character Saitama from One Punch Man which is my favorite anime

I don't like cities... Like... At all.

If I ever went to Japan, I'd want to go to the beautiful rural towns in the countryside instead of some overcrowded, noisy, glass and metal-building-packed cities.

Cities are causing rats to grow enormous and need to be torn down before its too late.

(sees the size of rats in the countryside)

Actually its too late.

Onomichi.

It used to be called Honmien, meaning 'where the light settles.' Hon meaning light, and mien being a pool where leylines gather. Or just a central pool the watershed feeds into. "Where the light gathers" might be a more accurate translation, although many might disagree.

The 12th century linguistic reforms led to a lot of cities being renamed, to match the new language standards. Some older families may still call it Honmien, but I remember hearing that the government wanted to stamp that out in the 70s and 80s. Don't know if people still do it.

You've probably seen the city square in an anime, or recognize the ferry crossing from Kamichu! The central government approved a handful of cities for production references, and because of the way the light settles Onomichi became pretty popular as a reference setting.

It also kind of looks similar to a bunch of other ocean-river cities, so when they want to draw the Yamato on tour they usually straighten Onomichi's river out and put it there.

In regular traveller to Japan but always loved Tokyo. It's city planning was genius to build such a diverse area with unique areas from the cosmopolitan Shinjuku, the serene parks in Ueno, the creative Harajuku to the playful Akihabara.

I plan to go back there soon.

I'd say Sendai. Apparently it's a sister city to Dallas.

Fun fact but I'm not a fan of cities. Not saying I hate cities because I don't. But sometimes I wanna enjoy the simpler things in life.

Not a fan of metropolies / big cities, so probably some small town close to mountains or the sea? Albeit i haven't travel to Japan yet.

Edit: After doing a quick look through a search engine, Takayama, Otaru, Hagi, Toyama seem like nice small towns.

I like Osaka because of Universal Studios:

Osaka is near Kyoto:

And isn't far away from Himeji Castle and Arima Onsen. Himeji Castle is the largest castle in Japan:
