Sapporo - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Japanese houses are typically smaller than their U.S. counterparts. However rentals are cheap in comparision to prices in similar cities around the world. - Sep 2015
Consulate housing (other than Consul General's residence) are detached houses in upscale neighborhood in foothills. Nice view of the city. Not particularly convenient to public transportation. Walk to the consulate nearly 30 minutes. By bicycle, 8 minutes. Coming back home nearly 20 minutes. It's a really big hill. - Sep 2011
