Agree with your point, but a bed town far away from the Tokyo center is still a bed town. Which not a very pleasant place to live in (99% residential, almost no stores, no restaurants around).

Well, everybody's experience is different, I guess. But 99% residential and no stores or restaurants is bit hard to believe.

What I mean is, nothing nearby enough. The zoning is clearly made to favor residential spaces in extremely high proportions, unlike an ordinary city center.
