Study explores happiest city in Japan for foreigners.
Ibaraki's first Foreign Resident Happiness Index reveals it ranks fourth in Japan, emphasizing diverse outcomes across work, living, and learning.
You know what’s wild? Ibaraki just dropped its first Foreign Resident Happiness Index, and the results are all over the place! Since 2019, they’ve been cracking the happiness code for residents, and this year, they focused on foreign folks too. They broke it down into three categories: Work, Live, and Learn, totaling 14 components. Turns out Ibaraki ranks fourth overall in Japan, right behind Tokyo, Mie, and Aichi. Not bad!
Now, if you look at the winning categories, Tokyo is flexing its muscles on all fronts. But for Ibaraki? They’re holding steady, landing sixth for both Work and Live, and fifth for Learn. A little variety goes a long way, right? This whole study is about understanding what makes life better for foreign residents, even if your personal happiness might not fit neatly into the chart. So, it’s cool to see Ibaraki striving for improvement while keeping an eye on the real needs of its international community.
