Are suburbs common in ALL of Japan like they are in Germany and the US ? In these 2 countries the entire nation has suburb type towns, in most of the rest of the world (save some Western Europe, Canada, Australia) there are only big cities and outside these cities there is only poverty, no suburbs.
