Maizuru
8.6
Mid score (6-8)
Maizuru hosts one of Japan's two main JMSDF naval bases, which gives the city a texture unlike most of rural Kyoto — there's a transient male population, a port culture, and the service establishments that follow military presence. The city of about 83,000 is split between East Maizuru (military and port) and West Maizuru (commercial), and women here are more accustomed to men who arrive from outside the community than in any comparable northern Kyoto city. Naval base employment creates more economic stability than the rest of northern Kyoto, which shows in the daily social atmosphere. The international profile is still low and the city's economic peak feels like it's in the past, but it has more social surface area than its size suggests.
