    Why would you subject yourself to living in Japan as a Canadian with kids though?

        Every Japanese I have met in Canada (mostly in Toronto and Montreal), that had young children, say that it’s very unwelcoming in Japan. And if you or your children are mixed, you face racism too. Again anecdotal, the number of these people I have talked to was only three, but they all had the same opinion. This included a couple that went back to try again a second time but then ended up in Montreal again.
