As Unimportant Hero said, Shanghai has some strong points, not the least of which is its long history (though not all of it favorable to non-Chinese) which one can sense, as well as see when viewing old buildings and hotels from "back then." Having been a major business hub, it's likely more international(ised) than other big Chinese cities and thus, hopefully, more tolerant of visitors and those who don't yet speak the language. Anyway,
don't even let the word "bolt" enter your vocabulary - Shanghai could be good grounding for your idea of moving to Japan later.
