Takefu Travel Forum

I realised there isn't much information about Takefu, Japan. Anyone been there? I will be going Takefu and staying there for 6 months due to work. I need to know more about the place. Please help.

1. I dont understand Japanese. Will it be very difficult for me to move around? I heard that most of the younger generations understand english. Is it the same for Takefu?
2. Is the living standard high? Are the food expensive?
3. Any interesing places i can visit during my 6 mths there?
4. Is the transport system in Takefu efficient?

I have never been to Takafu, but I can imagine that Takefu and around there have beautiful nature, Takefu is a part of Wakasa-wan Quasi National Park.
First of all you should learn to speak Japanese, because a few people can speak English such as at Hotel concierge and even a few engineers in a company, most of the younger generation doesn’t speak English.
I don’t think that living expense and food are expensive.
You can visit popular destinations such as Kyoto, Nara and Osaka during week end.
There is bus transportation system in Takafu, but I don’t know how efficient.
