#13 Dear Home

＞ If you live abroad, you were not really allowed to keep a Japanese bank account in the first place.

You cannot open a new bank account, but you can maintain the following bank accounts.
★ Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ ★ Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ★ Mizuho Bank ★ SMBC Trust Bank Prestia, etc.

Since I received my lottery winnings from Mizuho Bank,
I was forced to open a new account to receive the large winnings. I was forced to open a new account in order to receive a high amount of winning money.

＞ So if I put money in my own bank in the U.S. and not my husband's money into my own Japanese bank, will the Japanese bank think something is wrong and reject it? If the use of the money is clear, it will not be rejected.
I have experience of transferring about $500,000 from both Japanese and US banks.
If you are stingy with fees or hide it, it will be rejected.
*If you don't do money laundering or tax evasion, you can do it without any problem at all.

＞ I really wonder how people buy Japanese properties while living abroad.

My friends around me are also buying properties in Japan with this weak yen.
They all have decent employment experience in Japan and maintain bank accounts from that time.
I have also maintained Mitsubishi UFJ Bank for a long time, but it is necessary to maintain an account because I can receive pension benefits from Japan as well.

＞ I also worked full time for a long time both in Japan and here,

So you don't maintain a proper city bank account ？
Many city banks support internet banking and maintain accounts for overseas residents. and many city banks support online banking, and also support account maintenance for overseas residents.

＞ When I moved here, there was no online banking or I didn't know about it.

I have been in the US for 25 years, and I applied for online banking at the bank counter when I returned to Japan.

＞ I am not sure what would happen in my case, because I thought that I would be asked to cancel my account if I contacted the bank directly, since you are not allowed to keep your account without special procedures.

It doesn't make sense for me to maintain an unauthorized bank account that I can't maintain.
It is bad enough that I am too scared to contact the bank.
There is no way you can send money to such a bank account.
If it is not a legally permitted bank account, money transfer itself is money laundering.

＞ The last time I tried to withdraw money from my post office account, I was of course required to provide identification and a letter or other document confirming an address that matches that identification.

Basically, it is fraudulent for Japan Post Bank to allow an overseas resident to maintain an account.

*Japan Post Bank requires a special reason for an overseas resident to maintain an account.
For example, an account can be maintained only when there is a specific purpose, such as salary transfer or loan payment.
For the procedure, a representative must be appointed to complete the non-resident notification procedure.
In addition, deposits, withdrawals, and balance inquiries must be made by setting up an agent to do so on your behalf.

It is safer not to expose the fraud of holding an account at Japan Post Bank here.

It is something I am considering as well. Sorry if this is a duplicate of someone else's answer.
I have my own apartment and would like to buy a new one.

If you search for "foreigners buying real estate", don't you usually find information by googling ？
If you prefer English, you can contact real estate agencies around Tokyo, for example Shinjuku and Roppongi, that often do sales to foreigners.　They may be able to help you.

If you tell them you are going to buy a property, they will probably reply. By the way, you cannot get a loan for money in Japan.
They said it is because I don't have a job, no account, and can't prove a sum of money.

Payment is in lump sum ONLY.
It is a lump sum transfer, but if it means that you don't have a bank account, it is dangerous if you don't choose a real estate agent who is well organized and has a lot of experience, because the account will be borrowed and temporarily held in the real estate company's account.
That's what I'm afraid of.

Property taxes and such will be incurred every year, so I'm sure they can tell you how to pay those as well.

Sorry, it was JUST iFO!

Of course, I searched for "bilingual real estate" and inquired at the real estate agencies that came up, but one of them wouldn't let me inquire by e-mail without a Japanese cell phone number, another one didn't respond until I was told that a representative would get back to me later, and the one I finally got to talk to asked me if I wanted to buy the property in cash ？. I thought I could discuss such a matter with them, but I replied that cash was fine, but if there was any other way, please let me know.
I thought I could discuss such matters with them, but I answered that cash was fine, but if there was any other way, please let me know. The property I inquired about is not in the city center, but in the 23 wards of Tokyo.
I am thinking of a lump sum. It is true that I am a Japanese citizen, but if my husband pays for everything, it would be one way to inquire about real estate that caters to foreigners who might be able to advise me on the purchase under the terms of the foreigner quota. But perhaps the procedure should be less complicated for me, a Japanese national, than for my husband, a foreigner, to purchase the property. But thank you Crab3 for one idea.

I quit drinking alcohol first, avoided fast food as much as possible, cut out sodas and juices
drank 4 500cc bottles of water a day, and drank about 8 oz. of carrot juice cold pressed from carrots, celery, （ lemon, ginger and apple ） three times a day. I gave her about 8 oz. of cold-pressed carrot juice a day in 3 divided doses ｡
In 3 days her blood pressure dropped to 148 → 110 and she is still doing well.
When I took my blood pressure at the hospital, it was 110 and I was praised.
I also ate soup with various vegetables boiled as much as possible.
Sugar raises blood pressure, so I had him cut back on sweets.
However, I was not so concerned about seasoning, and tried to make it as tasty as possible.
We use pink salt for salt. I recommend it because it lowers blood pressure and makes you healthier.

A few years ago, I rented a truck by myself and came to Dallas from LA for 4 days and 3 nights, I took the 40, on the way I came from Albuquerque via Roswell, famous for UFOs, the country road to Roswell was more expansive and American than the 40, the last night I stayed near Dallas, because I wanted to get my stuff in in the morning. The last night was near Dallas, because we wanted to arrive in the morning and bring in our luggage.
We were a little nervous because we did not know when there would be gas stations on the country roads on the way, but we had a good time without any problems.

We have plenty of time to spare, but I'm thinking 3 nights is good, with an emphasis on moving rather than sightseeing, driving 5 to 7 hours a day. We are still working on the route, but I will also have a container of gasoline ready just in case.

There is no such priority.
On the contrary, August birthdays are required to have high standards. At Punahou, this year the questions were the same, but the words used in the questions were changed between the June-December 2019 kids and the January-July 2020 kids.
The school is professional. They look at the differences based on the age of the children.
IQs remain the same, so they are being judged very closely.
As said in another topic, you can't get into Kinder at an ordinary level. That's why the test dates are set by birthday, and there are rumors that if you submit late you get a later test date, but it's birthday based whether you submit early or late.

St. Luke's Clinic has many doctors and they will all have different reputations.

St. Luke's didn't fit me either. Not because it didn't fit, but because I sometimes thought it was a little too haphazard ？ about my symptoms. Since money was being generated, I didn't need to make small talk about anything other than my illness …. I felt that way because I have been to many different hospitals in Japan. I'm sure there are some who fit the bill, but it depends on the individual.
If you live in Hawaii, why don't you find a doctor who can interpret only in English? It is free of charge. You can have the interpreter come in person or you can have the interpreter available in the doctor's office online. The interpreters who come in person are very good.
Also, if you are looking for a PCP who can interpret for you, we recommend that you search within the Hawaii Pacific Health network.

I've been seeing St. Luke's and I've never had anything bad happen to me.
The doctors are kind
I think many of the doctors and staff are Christian
Of course there is no such thing as solicitation.
It's hard to find the right fit because it's different for everyone.
I hope you find one soon.

When I went to see the doctor for my health condition, the doctor started talking about God in the middle of the medical interview ・ ・ ・ It was difficult for me, a non-Christian, to understand. Incidentally, when I consulted him about my weight gain due to thyroid dysfunction, he said, "You don't have to eat three meals a day, you don't have to eat at a certain time, you just eat when you are hungry and your body needs food, God created us that way. I think, but I don't think I had a chance to meet him.

If you don't speak Japanese, I would recommend Strub Hospital.

I use Strub Hospital as my PCP.

If you are looking for someone who speaks Japanese, I don't know.
I know there used to be a Japanese-speaking doctor at Strub Hospital
but now, I don't think he is there.

I've been living in an old condo along Ala Wai for 10 years and I've never been in any danger, even at night ….
I think it's not popular or quiet, but it's nothing compared to Japan.
I would say it's just a matter of being on the lookout for danger, or at least being lightly vigilant.
In fact, there are as many Japanese as ogres living around here, but I haven't heard of any incidents.
Everyone is exaggerating, exaggerating, exaggerating. lol
Don't act like you know anything. lol

Please live your life in Hawaii with peace of mind.

Maybe because you are a man.
Most of the victims are women. I can only recall a Japanese man wearing a Rolex watch who was the victim of a theft
on Kuhio Street.
I once had three young local women have their handbags stolen
from one local man on Ala Wai street, I guess they thought they were safe because there were only three of them.
I thought it was better for women not to walk around with others.
Even private lockers in Waikiki condos that are locked with security
are frequently broken into.
Hawaii has fewer incidents than other states, but I never felt safe and secure.
Tourists should be very careful.

Walking home late at night is dangerous anywhere in Hawaii. As a matter of probability, the Ala Wai area is high. But even around Ala Moana, where the probability is low, the probability is high in some places. And as for location, just like airplanes and car accidents, the more you ride, the higher the probability, and the more you walk around late at night, the higher the probability of encountering a bad guy. I think you can increase the odds of preventing it, though, by being a man, not wearing expensive things, etc.
