I'd like to leave Japan because
My husband is European (he wants to leave Japan someday)
I don't like Japanese tax system (it's OK to pay a lot of tax, if medication, education & etc is free)
I want my children to be educated outside of Japan (because I want them to be good English speakers, be individual and know there are a lot of kinds of people in the world!)
Canada, NZ, Germany etc...If you live with your family, which country would you like to live? and why?

I second Wally. If I were to leave the U.S. now, Norway would be my ideal country to move to.
You may be heavily taxed, but you'll be rewarded for that. My employer's parent company is headquartered in Oslo, so I have a few Norwegian co-workers. Hopefully one of them will invite me over someday. :-)

what you mentioned is understandable for me.
but, i think that it's more important to have identity as a JAPANESE.
your husband is Europian people, so why don't you go to his country ?
you know, to have identity is the most important for human being.
people often say that i don't like JAPAN,
let's say that such people say more or less same thing even if they left JAPAN and started to live in another country.
anyway, i think that JAPAN or your husband country is the best for your family, especailly your children.

My country America is going in the right direction now, what with the right kind of people finally being elected (or almost) into government, but I wouldn't pick it just yet. I'd pick a northern European country like Holland, Denmark, or Sweden. People generally seem to be very happy there. The only problem I'd think a Japanese woman might run into is the cold, but you can always buy a heavy coat.
Stay in Japan and fight to improve your society!
Too many people spend their days shopping, watching TV and playing Wii. Of course the society will get worse when no one actually takes an active part in trying to improve society and government.
You are your government's employer. Make your voice heard.

I totally agree with [010]Seal Pool.
I'd like to work and live outside Japan for a short period of time in my life (say - a few years) as a good excperience, especially to broaden my sense of society, but I would not feel like emmigrating out of Japan. Japan is where I was born, where I grew up, where my home town is, and where I've contributed to pay for tax for several years.
If I was you (not to mention I am challenging the question), I would stay in Japan to live and try to make movements in the existing Japan's tax system.
Also, on the other hand, you would owe those ever-taxed people in the country you're planning to move to. You will have paid less tax than the national people. By the end of time, this will obvously end up to losing the balance betwen the government's income and outgo, which will result in increasing the existing tax rate in the country you want to move to...

I recommend you to go northern European countries, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland.
They all contribute to the environment better. Ease to live if you can stand coldness in winter, I guess. Plus you will like the tax system. The governments spend them to improve welfare, education, pension and so on for only people, not politicians like Japan, are said to be clean governments compared with other countries in terms of how to use taxes, and no corruption. So you can use public facilities such as hospital, school and so force without any charge.Instead, you have to pay high taxes.
But all enjoy their lives, I think.

i don't get your identity thing either... what's it for again?
hold on a sec though. don't get me wrong. i wuv japan to death. and am not a gaijin kabure either. you see, hate to say this but it's just not my kind of country to live after retirement.
asira

Norway is an expensive country!
Somehow I wouldn't recommend England. Although I am English I think this country has many problems. I would rather not raise my children there if possible, Japan is a lot safer in that respect. Some systems might be kind of shitty but it's better than being mugged every other week.

I agree to Ian!! People and wether are important!
And some reality (money and security) with our children...
Lots of people recomend me northen Europe but I'm not brave enough to live in dark in day time in winter. Apart from that I'm quite interested in those countries Gilbert and some other people are talking aboout.Nice people, good tax system (high,thugh),good environment and safety, etc...
My husband actually is English, and he is not keen to live in England, eighther.
It's good to buy a house there if we can afford because the house will be worth more and more years and years later.
I can see a lot of things in common between Japan and England. Long history, royal family, island country, even people's charactor is similler I think.
But I can not imagine mayself live there
Maybe Ireland, though ...
Dubai! I heard everything is expensive there!! so if we can get a job there, we can be rich
If it's safe enough to raise up children, it might be good country to live.
I don't mind paying higher tax if it's used for us.
I like Australia. The life seems to be easier there.
Beach, BBQ, nice wether and people.
Close to Japan
Far from Europe
It's ok to live in Japan in 20 years, after we don't have to worry about money and children.
There are so many countries in the world.I just want to enjoy my life with my family without any worries.
Thank you everyone! If you can think of anymore countries, please let me know!!
Sorry about my bad spelling

>to have identity is the most important for human being.
Yes, but I don't think where one lives, especially in this day and age matters to establish identity. LOL look at the US,
you got a million cultures here and freedom to embrace it. I'm sure
it's the same in European countries.
I guess this "identity" is a huge issue for many mixed children. I think it is not society's fault, but more because the parents don't instill at a young age that it's ok to be "more than one".
I was always taught I wasn't only Japanese, Italian, or American
but I was all of it. This holds true for my other hafu friends
that seemingly never had identity issues. We were actually surprised by it all when MIXI and 2ch came out and we see it's a huge issue for some.
Anyway, to this day I feel that being able to identify with all 3 cultures is the most precious gift given to me by my parents.

I would pick Australia or Canada.
They are both wealthy countries with friendly people. Vancouver and Melbourne are often voted two of the best cities in the world to live. I think Vancouver is a great city (other cities in Canada are too cold in winter for me).
Australia has a higher taxation rate than Japan. I don't know about Canada's taxation.
Scandinavian countries are nice. They are very cold. If you don't mind the cold they would be good places to live. Although most Scandinavians can speak English, you would have to learn another language if you wanted to live in a Scandinavian country. They have high tax rates as well.

well, I like being where I live (Portugal).
we do have problems, and tax money is misused. Our healthcare system needs improvements.
But people are usually friendly and supportive to foreigners (of course, there are always some people who are not, but in general we are more friendly than other countries). Weather is great most of the year, and it's easy to visit other countries in Europe when you want to.
just make sure you get an electrical car. fuel prices are horrible.
wherever you decide to go, I wish you good luck.
