Mr. Genki today

Thank you for taking the trouble to check us out ！
Thank you very much.

As a matter of fact, there was a kind-hearted person who contacted me directly and said "I will give you a car seat that you no longer use", so I don't have to rent anymore. ^##^)

I'm glad I posted this on BibiNavi.

Thank you very much to the person who gave it to me and to Genki-san for taking the time to check it out ♪

I had no problems then.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say
1, you can't set a specific date and time for pickup and drop off, and I remember having to be flexible for a week or two for both.
2, I chose to meet them at a large location because they would come to pick me up in a large truck that carried my car. It seems like you can't move within a small residential community that is gated or something.

#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.

Hello. I feel that there are more cars and more aggressive drivers. I am wondering if they are people who have moved here from other states. …

As for the condos, our condo is in the Ala Moana Ward Kakaako area, but we only see them about once a year because both of our neighbors have them as their vacation homes. The higher the floor, the more people use the condo as a vacation home. I heard that the lower floors are often occupied by residents because there are many rooms that are rented and not occupied by the owners. Our condo is still a Japanese vacation home, and there are many rooms that are used by people from the mainland, and many of the residents are elderly. Of course there are people with children, but they are not noisy or dirty. I think it depends on the condo.

By 2035, Honolulu car dealerships will be required to sell 30% EVs.

Currently, The Bus in Honolulu is almost exclusively biodiesel; by 2035, it will be Zero Emission vehicles only
. By 2035, the buses will be Zero Emission vehicles only , which means they will be EVs or PHVs. Biodiesel is not Zero Emission
after all, so it will be replaced in the future when the fleet is updated.

By the way, biodiesel emits almost no exhaust gas. They are retiring old cars as they go.

The Bus currently has maybe 16 EV vehicles （ one of which had an accident and damaged the driver's seat, not including this one ） and
in the future, they will have a total of 78 vehicles. The rest will be PHV vehicles.

Also, to those who say Post is a monorail, it is not a monorail, it is a train.

Topix, you are not driving a gasoline car yourself, are you? If you are driving a gasoline-powered car, and you are forced to post a topic like
this one, it would be a complete disaster.

Also, if possible, please contact the city council member of your district and make a suggestion.
Honolulu City Council members listen to citizens seriously.

I have never spoken to them directly, but I have attended several Town Hall Meetings
of the District Council members in my area, and I am subscribed to their Facebook and Instagram pages.

Please see if you can make a suggestion to the councilman once. They may reply to you.

It may not bother you if you live in a small area, but
I live in a very congested area,
I am in traffic morning and night.

For example, if you have parents and 3 children, you need 5 cars.
If you think about it, this traffic jam is unavoidable.
I would love to see fewer cars, but
I don't think it will happen.
I can't imagine my life without a car.

Dear Topix

You only made a suggestion, but there is no
response to what everyone has responded to.

I think you should read what has been replied and respond to it.

We are a car-oriented society, and it would be a good thing if we could reduce the number of cars. However,
the reality may be close to impossible.

However, the city of LA, CA has built a subway, light rail, and commuter rail system,
Metro, which seems to be contributing to some reduction in cars.

The construction of rail lines
to the north, south, west, and east, with Downtown LA as the hub, and the deployment of bus routes to connect to these lines, seems to have led to a certain
reduction in the number of cars.

Skyline will open its
second phase to Kalihi Transit Center this October 16. Then, in 2031,
the third phase will be opened up to the Civic Center in Kakaako.

After that, it is still undecided, but they would like to open
to UH Manoa and extend the line to Kapolei Kommon, a shopping
center located beyond Kapolei station.

If the number of users increases, it is possible to extend the line
to UH Manoa.

＃ 2 Momose
Hello.
Thank you very much for your kind and detailed feedback. Your analysis based on numbers and current data was very helpful.

First, let me add some background on my proposal.
My strongest concern is that the deterioration of Hawaii's natural environment will degrade the quality of life for residents and visitors alike, resulting in a decline in tourism. This is not so much a short-term problem, but rather a concern that Hawaii will lose its brand as a "paradise" in the future, with serious economic consequences. The reason for the proposed temporary tax increase is not to proceed with permanent systemic changes all at once, but to first implement them on a trial basis to verify the effects and issues. The idea was to position it as a "pilot program," so to speak, and to move on to a full-fledged policy based on reactions and data after implementation. I think you are right in pointing out that the $60 million increase in revenue is certainly not enough in terms of numbers, and that it is a burnout as a supplement to Skyline's budget. However, my intention is not so much to "secure financial resources" as to encourage a gradual shift to public transportation by making people feel the cost of car ownership and use. Ultimately, I would like to achieve a shift away from a car-dependent society, but as you point out, I also understand that we need to first increase the convenience of public transportation first. We have keenly realized that the point that the order should not be reversed is exactly right. Also, I think you are right in pointing out that there is insufficient data support for the gasoline smell. We are aware that this is based solely on personal feeling and that we are not able to present objective measurements. In the future, I would like to examine the data in this area as well to make the argument more persuasive. After reading the comments I have received, I realize once again that my own proposal could be perceived as emotional and that it lacked viability. Nevertheless, I still feel that the status quo will eventually become irreversible.


#3 Mr. Vans

You are right, the number of Electric cars will definitely increase in the next few years. I am also really concerned about the exhaust emissions, especially from public buses. It sometimes makes me feel suffocated when I am near a bus stop, and I strongly hope that they will be electrified as soon as possible. It is also interesting to hear about the subsidy system in Japan. If such subsidies spread to Hawaii, it will make it easier for many people to switch to electric vehicles. The perspective that the increase in Uber and Lyft has led to an increase in the number of vehicles is also certainly true. While they are necessary for the tourism industry, they have a huge impact on traffic congestion and the environment.

My proposal may seem a bit strong, but I would like to work with you to ensure that Hawaii does not move toward further environmental degradation and more serious traffic congestion.

#5 aloha

I usually only use my bicycle. I only use buses when I travel and use the airport. Sometimes I take a cab.

#Kani2
You have lived in Hawaii for 19 years, you have seen Hawaii change over the years.
As you said, the monorail construction has been on the agenda for a long time as one of the traffic congestion countermeasures. Although the skyline has actually started to move, I feel that there are still many issues to be addressed, such as parking around the station and the expansion of the line. In terms of the increase in the number of people moving from the mainland since the pandemic, I really think that is true. Around me, I often hear that condos that used to have many Japanese-owned villas are now fully occupied by migrants with their families, and the atmosphere has changed dramatically. These changes are partly responsible for the vitality of Hawaii, but at the same time they have a big impact on traffic and the living environment.
That is why I was reminded of the urgent need for measures to reduce the number of cars as much as possible and to improve public transportation.

＃ 10 Pianist
Hello.
You are really right, I feel that more and more people are driving aggressively these days. In the past, there used to be a lot of slow drivers, which is unique to Hawaii, but now I see a lot of accidents, stirring up drivers, pedestrian agitators, and pedestrian obstruction, and the atmosphere has changed a bit. I also wondered … if it was the effect of many aggressive people from the mainland moving to the area. Basically, the local people are gentle in character.

Thank you for the details about the condos. It is true that the atmosphere of the residents and the state of management differs greatly depending on the location and building. I think places with good management, cleaning, and security are comfortable and really great. With the increase in the number of people and cars throughout Hawaii these days, the differences between areas are probably becoming even greater. That is why I feel again that we all need to think about how public transportation and urban development should be done.

＃ 11 Mr. Hawaii
Thank you very kindly for the detailed information about the current situation of TheBus and the plan for zero emission by 2035. It is also helpful to know the difference between rail and monorail, as many people confuse the two.

Regarding your point, I do not own a car and use a bicycle for my daily transportation. I use a bus only when I travel off-island. I use a rental car when playing on the island. Of course, rental cars and public transportation are necessary for the development of Hawaii's economy. The comfort and convenience of tourists is an important foundation for Hawaii's economy. The problem is that there are too many self-owned cars, and the noise from motorcycles and other vehicles should be dealt with. Because I am in a position where I usually suffer from the mental anguish of witnessing the damage of agitation by cars, exhaust gas, dead animals hit and killed, and traffic accidents, I strongly feel the environmental degradation caused by the increase in the number of private cars and exhaust gas, and I wanted to share this issue with you, so I submitted this message.

Thank you also for your advice regarding my proposal to the city council members. I myself feel it is important to not just raise concerns, but to actually take action. I am considering taking my comments directly to the City Council and the relevant agencies in the future.

#12
Traffic jam is every day

Thank you for the information. It is true that in some cases, if there are more family members, they may each need a car.

Just what do you mean by "if you have parents and three children, you need five cars" ？ Do you envision a situation where all the children are already adults and each owns a car for their own living and commuting ？
Of course I understand the need for cars, but I think it is clear that if the number of cars continues to increase, traffic congestion and air pollution will continue to worsen. That is why I feel that we need to strengthen public transportation, car sharing, and other "mechanisms that make it convenient to get around without using a car.

#13Hawaii

Thank you for your remarks regarding the delay in my reply.
You are right, it is not easy to "immediately reduce the number of cars" in the reality of a car-oriented society. However, as in the case of LA, if we can create a situation where people "have other options than cars" by improving public transportation such as railroads and subways, we can certainly reduce the use of cars, right?

As you point out, Skyline is being extended in Hawaii, and if it is connected to UH Manoa and Kapolei in the future, many residents may be able to live without a car.

That is why I feel it is worth considering the mechanism of additional funding ＝ and increased taxation on private cars to further increase the convenience of the railroads and TheBus. It is not in the direction of "taking away" cars, but in the direction of creating an environment where people don't have to have them.
