Compared to the other places I have been to, Tokyo air is a bit cleaner. But in rural Japan, it is really fresh. The food and water are good, and the healthcare is cheap because of the mandatory health insurance. These could be the reasons. The only bad thing about this is that the pension fund and the health insurance system have more people to pay for, and are already sensing trouble.
