Monocle has named Tokyo the world’s most liveable city in its annual quality of life survey.
While criteria include crime rate, health care infrastructure, as well as educational and environmental wellbeing, this year’s survey by the British magazine incorporates 22 new standards. These include the price of a three-bedroom house; the cost of a cup of coffee, glass of wine and decent lunch; and access to the outdoors.
Fukuoka and Kyoto also performed well, ranking 12th and 14th, respectively.
