It is reported in the Tokyo edition of today's Nikkei Newspaper that one out of four babyboomers living in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area would like to retire elsewhere, and Okinawa seems to be their first choice to live after retirement. The main reason for that is because there is "abundant nature" in Okinawa, much like Hawaii or Florida for retirement in the US. However, about a half of them confess that they have less than 10 million yen as their savings, whereas they would need somewhere between 30 and 50 million to retire in Okinawa or wherever they wish to live after retirement-- a big gap between their dreams and reality.
