If you work at us bank, you can speak Japanese.
What do you think you have to go to some branch to be able to speak Japanese

You're a fool.

In ancient customs and cultures, it was common to refrain from celebrations in the year of the death of someone close to you. In Japan, in particular, there is a period of mourning （ called momochu ） during which it is customary to avoid celebrations and fancy events. The mourning period usually lasts one year from the date of death.

However, in today's society, individual families and communities may differ in their responses. While some people honor tradition and observe the custom of mourning, others choose to continue with their daily lives while remembering the deceased.

It is important to be respectful of your neighbor's feelings and cultural background when dealing with Christmas gifts. If you have concerns, you may want to ask for confirmation beforehand or choose a modest, heartwarming gift.

I would like to know everyone's thoughts or experiences. I am currently pregnant with my second child and considering having the baby in Japan for various reasons. Our first child was born in the U.S., so we are dual internationals. We are both Permanent Residents and I have a current renewal receipt that allows me to come and go from Japan to the US until 2027.

I know that if I give birth in Japan, my child will be a Permanent Resident when we come back together, but has anyone raised a child in the US as a Permanent Resident ？

Have there been any inconveniences ？ I have not had any inconveniences so far. I have not experienced any inconvenience with permanent residency so far, so I don't know of any disadvantages that I am familiar with. I would like to know before deciding that I will give birth in Japan.

Please help me ！

I think the most important point is,

Once you get citizenship, unless you renounce your US citizenship in the future,
you have to pay taxes to the US for the rest of your life, even if you live in Japan or other countries outside the US.
Even if you don't live in the US.

Tax returns are required even for U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

You need to change your nationality after returning to Japan.

Filing a tax return in Japan and filing a tax return in the US are
the same as filing a tax return. Once you do it, they are all the same.

If you live in a foreign country with permanent resident status, depending on the length of your stay
permanent resident status will no longer be available, but
taxes will follow even if permanent resident status is no longer available.

My dual nationality child's Japanese passport expires in six months. When I tried to purchase a ticket to Japan for next summer, I was unable to make a reservation because my passport information is about to expire. Since my U.S. passport is valid until 2026, can I travel to Japan with only my U.S. passport this time? I originally traveled between Japan and Hawaii with only one U.S. passport, but when travel restrictions were established in Corona, I got a Japanese passport as well.

Now you can still renew it at the consulate in a week or so
so why not do it at the consulate ？ and you can do it a year before it expires.

Excuse me, I missed reading that. You have a period of time until the year after next.
I think you can use an American passport out and a Japanese passport in and out of Japan ？
I don't think you have to make a reservation either way ？.

Thank you for your answer
I was able to purchase a ticket successfully with my American passport information. Even though I purchased the ticket with an American passport, when I arrive at the airport in Japan, should I get in line with the Japanese and enter the country with a Japanese passport? On the way back, do I leave the Japanese airport with a Japanese passport and enter with an American passport when I arrive in Hawaii?

Please let me know which airline you all use when returning to Japan

Basically, I want to return home cheaply, but I recently became an ANA frequent flyer member. I recently heard that with JAL, if you book a Japan domestic flight at the same time, the Japan domestic flight is free.

How do you decide which airline to fly with when returning to Japan?

JAL VS ANA
I think what you want to know is JAL vs ANA, then you should write "cheap airlines"
If you're looking for cheap flights, frequent flyer membership is just a drag.
ANA and JAL are expensive, so it takes a long time to accumulate mileage.

＞ Recently JAL offers free Japan domestic flights if booked at the same time

Ho, this is new to me, but I think the period or conditions must be tight.

There used to be such a benefit for LAX - HND/NRT in business class.

I fly JAL or ANA once a year to/from Japan and always fly Haneda ↔ Shikoku on domestic flights.

Please tell me more about that free promotion.

These days, one way ￥ is almost always over 10,000.

I used to use wise, but when I looked at it after a long time, I found that it charges a remittance fee.
I remember it didn't charge me before …

What do you use now ？
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

There was a fee before Wise.
I don't think it is possible for international money transfers to be free of remittance fees.
When I was put on hold due to a mistake in operation when I temporarily returned to Japan, customer service helped me out with their quick response.
So far, I think Wise is the fastest and cheapest.

It is best to get a referral.　　You can get a recommendation from a real estate agent, someone in the construction industry, or someone who has experience doing some construction work.

You can get an estimate from Home Depot first.
You can also get quotes from other local contractors.
The actual work is done by Mexican workers, but they are like supervisors, so they care about the workmanship. The actual work is done by Mexican workers, but they are like supervisors, so they are concerned about the quality of the work. You can also complain to them.
