Living in Tajimi

A Mino ware production center and the birthplace of mosaic tile, accounting for half of Japan's ceramic production. In 2007 it recorded 40.9 degrees, then the highest temperature ever observed in Japan, and it has a unique identity as a town that promotes itself as 'the hottest town in Japan'. Nagoya is directly reachable so commuting works, but prices for new-build units and small units near the station are almost the same as in central Nagoya, so 'bedroom town = cheap' does not apply here.

A commuter zone 30 to 40 minutes to Nagoya Station by JR Chuo Main Line rapid. Rent for a 1K around Tajimi Station is cheaper than in Nagoya, and it is Nagoya's representative bedroom town with many newly built housing developments. However, it recorded 40.9 degrees in 2007 and is counted among Japan's hottest cities, so summer heat is severe, and train frequency is low at night. It is a neighborhood that suits office workers commuting to Nagoya and families with children who want to save on rent.
