It has been argued about which is better to live in the center of the city or countryside for a long time. Both of the areas have each good points. It is difficult to decide which is better. However, if I am asked about which is better to live, I believe that living in the center of the city is more comfortable than countryside. There are three reasons.
First, the transportation is more convenient in the center of the city. There are many kinds of vehicles. For example, train, the Shinkansen, taxi, bus. If an accident resulting in injury or death happens and train network stops, people can get to the destination by using other transportations except train. On the other hand, the train leaves every two or three hours and other transportation is few in countryside. If you miss the train or an accident happens, people cannot help waiting. Therefore, people who live in the center of the city can spend time more effectively.
Second, many kinds of facilities are substantial. One example is commercial facilities. Recently, many shopping malls are developed and many people visit them. They include many kinds of facilities, for example food, fashion and so on. Thanks to this fulfillment, people can get something which they want to get easily. The most important thing is the fulfillment of a medical institution. In countryside, we can’t rescue people who we might be able to rescue with a substantial medical institution. On the other hand, in the center of the city, there are many excellent doctors and ambulances come at once, so possibility that people in danger are saved is much higher.
Lastly, there are many varieties of schools such as private schools, public schools, vocational schools. People can commute the school that suits their tastes the most. In addition, most of main universities in Japan are located in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Therefore, people who live in the area can commute a university easily. Of course, people who live in countryside can commute a university in the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, they have to live alone, so it costs them a lot of money. People who live in the urban area can choose favorite type of schools and commute the school in the lower cost.
To conclude, there are three advantages to live in the center of the city. Transportation is developed, commercial and medical facilities are substantial, and there are many types of schools. Thanks to these advantages, people can live safely and conveniently. Therefore, I believe that living in the center of the city is more comfortable than countryside.
