Update: Tokyo 9/10. Not 10/10.
It's a great city but there are too many minor annoyances that cumulatively add up to keep it from 10/10.
In particular, night transport infrastructure is puzzlingly basic for a cyberpunk-coded megapolis of 35M.
Subways close at 12 am. (Moscow's at 1 am).
Moscow, Seoul, and London have night buses in the wee hours, and London Tube core routes run 24 hours on Fri and Sat. (NYC subway ofc runs 24/7).
Main practical choice is to call a taxi, but Japan has a cabbie lobby, so taxis are the one major category where there's NO yuge discount relative to the US.
This keeps night life surprisingly muted for a city of its scale.
Couple other minor bugbears, but that's the big one.
SF today and pre-2022 Moscow remain my top 2 cities.
보아 : "10대 땐 당일치기로 한국-일본을 오간 적도 있어요. 하네다 공항도 없던 시절이라 나리타에서 출발해 한국 생방송 마치고, 다시 일본에 와서 잡지 촬영도 하고, 연말 방송에 참석 못 하면 생중계를 하기도 했어요. 공항에 도착하면 머릿속이 그 나라의 언어로 바로 전환이 됐어요." #포카포카
