As a postscript, Japanese people are generally thought of as stupid and good-natured, and Korean criminals think that committing crimes against Japanese people is a rather natural punishment for them. They approach us pretending to be nice, and the worst part is that they are always neat and clean, drive nice cars, and you would never know that they are criminals by their appearance. They are always waiting for you to bring them food or to be your off guard, so be really careful.

I put my food waste in the green waste can.
I put my daily food scraps in a special container （ given to me by the City ） I don't know about other cities, but
I put them in organic bags that I buy myself for a week and throw them in the green waste can on the day of garbage collection.

When we followed the directions, it smelled bad and had maggots in it. We have been tying the garbage bags tightly shut before throwing them out, and we only put lawn clippings and weeds from gardening in the green area, boxes, cans, bottles and PET bottles in the recycle area, and all food scraps and regular garbage in the trash area. I put all food scraps and regular garbage in garbage bags and throw them away in the trash.

#50 American,

＞ How can a US citizen go to Japan ？ please tell me.
＞ By the way, I have not been vaccinated. I have never had corona so far.

I heard here at Vivinavi Exchange Plaza that if we have proof that our relatives in Japan want us to come back to Japan, we can get a visa to enter Japan. I called the Japanese Consulate in Los Angeles directly and they said that if we apply to the consulate with all the conditions and documents, we can get a visa.

Please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare page for more information on vaccines for entering Japan. Please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare page.

According to the consulate website, "A copy of one of their family registers is required to prove relationship to immediate family or relatives.

＞ According to a friend of mine who frequently travels back and forth between Japan and Japan, Japan's border control measures have become much more relaxed

than in the past, and only requires proof of vaccination within 3 days here.

My friend said that the Japanese border control measures are much more relaxed than before. Also, I heard that you have to install an app called something on your phone.

Mr. Mansei,

＞ They seem to have loosened up a lot, I think it was within 3 days here, they only need proof of vaccination.


My apologies...you meant the proof of PCR test. However, you cannot get on a plane even with Japanese airlines unless you show

proof of vaccination when you leave this country.

I have applied for a green card without a lawyer before, and when I had a problem, I used the above method to solve it. I was told that the process takes time, but there were steps that took so long that I thought they might have forgotten about me, so I tried to contact them.

I have lived abroad for a long time, but I also maintain a Japanese account and credit card.
I am able to do this because my permanent address is my parents' address, but before Corona, I used to return to Japan once or twice a year, so I deposited money into my account each time ＆ I did passbook entries, etc.

Since a few years ago, I have registered a Japanese credit card for automatic debit since e-books cannot be purchased with credit cards issued abroad. Since I was unable to return to Japan until last month due to the Corona disaster, I had to inquire about my balance online several times a year.
Since my balance was getting low and I did not know when I would be able to return to Japan, I started to send money to my Japanese account in WISE, but I still make sure that the balance is less than 1 million yen to avoid taxes.

Many people who live overseas but have parents or siblings in Japan maintain a Japanese bank account.

Thank you for your experience.
I think you mean the balance inquiry on the internet, right? ？ Japanese banks don't allow you to check your balance on the internet ？ I don't really know what's going on with Japanese banks these days.

#10 I was slightly concerned about the expression "to avoid taxation". Basically, there is no taxation on the transfer itself between the individual's accounts in Japan and the US.
However, when there is a remittance ／ of 1 million yen or more at a Japanese bank, a copy of the transaction is automatically sent to the tax office. Also, when a U.S. bank receives a remittance of $10,000 or more ／, a report is automatically sent to the IRS. Especially in Japan, remittances to non-permanent residents are required to be reported on the individual's tax return, so that the IRS can check the information with the tax office. If the frequency of remittance is too frequent, the tax office may conduct an investigation under the title of "Inquiry concerning foreign assets.
In addition, if you have financial assets （ or accounts ） outside the U.S. of $10,000 or more, you are required to report them on Form 1040, and you are also required to report the account information on FinCen114.
The above is to prevent Money Laundering, as explained by tax man, and as long as the information required by the IRS is reported correctly, it does not matter if the account balance is over $10,000.

You can lose up to $3 ， 000 in stocks for
years until you recoup your losses.

This is for the entire US, not just Hawaii.

Furthermore, it appears from your question itself that you have no
experience with tax returns in the US, so there are other rules and regulations, so

you cannot handle your tax return with the knowledge from the board, so
be sure to file your tax return. If you are going to file a tax return, we recommend you to ask a professional to do it for you.

Please refer to the following English explanation and translation.

How many years can you claim stock losses?
You'll always have the annual $ 3,000 limit on ordinary income deductions, but the losses can be as much as $3,000 per year.
（ What years can I claim losses on stock?
How many years can I carry forward capital losses ？ I can carry forward capital losses for as many years as I need until I can use the capital losses for tax purposes.
There is always a $3,000 annual limit on the ordinary income deduction, but losses may offset future capital gains. ｝

Thank you very much tax man.
Normally, I only sell stocks that I have made a profit on, but this time I wanted to liquidate individual stocks other than Roth IRAs and asked my CPA if I could offset the capital loss. I have lived in Hawaii for about 20 years and make tax returns every year, but I'm embarrassed to say that it seems to have been a very basic question. I need to study more.

Now it is omicron, so there is almost no PCR test positive after one month, but many people who are infected once are infected twice.

First, a consular letter,
which is valid if you are still positive 2 weeks after infection.

If the PCR test is positive 72 hours before returning
you will be quarantined in a hotel for 5 days.
If the PCR test is taken again and is negative, you may return home.
If positive, you will be quarantined for another 4 days.

If the PCR test is positive after 9 days.
You can apply for a consular letter here.

When you test positive for the first time
Call the doctor for a consultation and consultation.
After 9 days, you will receive a letter from the doctor certifying your recovery
Submit the proof of positivity and recovery to the consulate

These are the circumstances when a friend and his wife came to Hawaii two weeks ago
only the wife tested positive and was unable to return home.
