Jōetsu

Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Jōetsu is where Uesugi Kenshin built his power base in the Sengoku period — Kasugayama Castle ruins are here and the city still runs on that historical identity. Joetsu University of Education brings a younger demographic that slightly opens up the social scene. It is also the practical gateway to the Myoko ski area, so during winter there is some outside traffic moving through. For a foreign man, workable but not exciting — provincial Japanese city dynamics where most social life revolves around established local networks.
