Why Japan?
10 Advantages to Investing in Japan
While home to a very unique culture, Japan has also welcomed elements of many foreign cultures. This coexistence of what is uniquely Japanese with cultures from around the world makes life in Japan constantly fresh and exciting. The nation also possesses all the elements required for a comfortable life, including stable infrastructure, clean and safe urban environments, and efficient social systems. Japan welcomes its guests with a secure and comfortable lifestyle, rich with the potential to enjoy the diversity and beauty of nature in all its seasonal changes.
Cuisines from around the world can be enjoyed in Japan in addition to famous Japanese dishes such as sushi and tempura. Tokyo is well served with 160,000 restaurants, but even outside Tokyo cuisines from various countries of the world can be found.
The Tokyo edition of the Michelin Guide, published in 2008, listed nine three-star restaurants and 37 two-star restaurants. These were not limited to restaurants offering Japanese cuisine, but included French, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish restaurants.
Food in Japan is also relatively inexpensive when compared with prices in major cities around the world, and it is easy to find imported foodstuffs and daily items.
Of course you will also find all the facilities that you might need in your daily life, from convenience stores (CVS) to health clubs to cinemas.
The number of hospital beds per thousand people in Japan is very high even by the standards of other advanced nations, and the nation's hospitals and clinics feature the latest equipment and technologies.
Japan boasts a public infrastructure and a level of public safety and order that are unparalleled in most of Asia. The nation also provides an outstanding living environment from the perspectives of health care, education and leisure.

The Global Peace Index 2008, published in May 2008, ranked Japan fifth of 140 countries in terms of safety. The ranking is given by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the survey division of the UK journal The Economist, based on an analysis of 24 factors, including the number of police, the number of murders and violent crimes, the danger of internal conflict, the level of respect for human rights, the potential for terrorist incidents, and the relationship with neighboring countries. The result shows that Japan is among the world's safest and most peaceful countries, with the lowest murder rate and the lowest potential for terrorist incidents of any developed nation, in addition to a comparatively stable political situation and a high level of education.
