End of life, but which is better ？

I've heard that in the U.S. it's hard to have that kind of money, that you need more than $1 million over 10 years to be miserable in a nursing home. So if you move in when you are in your 70s and live to be 90, you would need $2 million.
On the other hand, in Japan, if you have 50 million yen for 10 years, they will take care of you in a decent place. 100 million yen for 20 years.

The current view is to be based in the U.S. until you have some freedom to move around, and then sell to Japan.

The food would be better than the US facility, and since all the kids are back in Japan, they would come to see us once in a while.
What do you all think?

I retired at 55. I will receive a pension from Japan starting next month and from the U.S. next year I will receive a pension from the U.S. I am 61 years old.
90% of my assets are in the US. I have a residence in Japan and live in both.

What are your candid thoughts?

It is a truly vexing question. If there is only one option, then it is decided, but there is also the problem of having a choice.
I do not want to inconvenience my spouse, children, and others. I have promised my spouse that we will not care for each other. We do not want to waste time with each other in our short remaining lives. We have already wasted more than two years with the corona disaster.
If we leave California and go to a different state, it will be less expensive, but it is also true that there is discrimination against yellow people. Your opinions are greatly appreciated. Please post more of your thoughts.

The good thing about the U.S. is certainly the working environment and wages, but I think there is more to it than that.
I can only vaguely describe it as freedom, but I think the ability to spend time without worrying about what others around you think is a big part of it.
Also, what will happen to Japan depending on future moves by China ？ The U.S. will respond with security to some extent, but in the end it will be abandoned.
At that time, it will become a U.S. state ？ I think that will be the only way, but, or it will prepare its military now and become a force that can compete with China alone ？
In all likelihood, China and Japan cannot cross paths. If they stop the one-party politics of the Communist Party, we will know, but as long as that continues, it is impossible.
I hope that we will not reach that point, at least not in our lifetime. Beyond that, I think it is the efforts and will of the next generation. There is nothing we can leave to the next generation. I like both the US and Japan. There are points that the U.S. does not like about Japan. Conversely, there are things about Japan that I dislike about the US. It is a luxury.

We are a couple who worked in the US and returned to Japan after retiring early a few years ago, and have no regrets so far. I feel peace of mind in every respect. Of course, there are many good things about the U.S., but in Japan, food is good and cheap everywhere you go, service is good, and life is easy. Even though it is hot in the summer, it is not to the point of death.

The reality of care is exactly like a modern day ubasan.
In my case, I am not as well funded as Mr. Doubukin, so I am afraid that I will end up in a facility with that kind of treatment. Well, when I need nursing care, I will choose Japan. Until then, I'll continue to live in the South Bay, where the climate is great. The climate here is worth it.
There are plenty of places with warm winters, but this is the only place with cool summers. If it rained even 1/100th of what it does in Japan, I'd be happy.
