why i wouldn't live in japan again

After living in Japan continuously for two years from 2018 and staying away nine months, he decides not to return long-term. He says Western food disappoints, low-skilled work is stressful in Japanese, and customer misunderstandings intensify his social anxiety. A decade of dating rejection, foreigner saturation, and translation technology convinces him Europe offers better compatibility and Japan less uniqueness.

His former Japan dream shifts from escape and distinction toward frustration, comparison, and searching for a new base.
