RoccoMoco mentioned the iHealth Antigen Rapid Test.
I thought it could not be used for travel, but
I see that it can be used for entry into the U.S. if you follow the procedure below and take the test with online guidance.

This was under the light.
It's convenient not to have to go to the inspection station.
I'll put it in one of the suggestions.

Ehh ！
Is the free antigen test that pharmacies and other places in Japan offer
good ？
Kiki
Thanks for the great information.
I have some friends around me who are coming back this week
I will tell them ！ They all booked the Picapara PCR test for almost 10,000 yen, so it will be a big help if the free test is good.

Hanamaru-san,
Maybe there are two points,
1. whether the pharmacy's free antigen test meets the CDC requirements,
2. whether the form they prepare meets the immigration requirements,
I think.
1. seems to have a wide opening based on the posts in this thread.
As for 2., for example, I copied from ANA's information page （ https://anasalesa.com/covid-19_update/ ） but the following is a requirement:
The Kinoshita Group is a group of companies that are in the process of developing a new business. In the case of Kinoshita Group, everyone should add their date of birth and passport number in some way in the "personal details" section.
As for the language, I believe that either Japanese or English is acceptable as long as the airline company can determine it, but
I remember that English or a translation is preferred in case a CDC official needs to examine it upon entry into the U.S.
（ Sorry for not posting primary information ）

I am not familiar with the free tests available at pharmacies in Japan, so I can't say much more, but
I hope this helps.

① Personal details ： In addition to name, personally identifiable information （ Date of birth or passport number, etc. ）
*Note: Name and personally identifiable information on the negative certificate must match "passport". must be consistent.
② Date of specimen collection
③ Laboratory information （ Name and contact details of the medical institution where the test was performed ）
④ Test results must be listed as follows.
・ "Negative"
・ "Undetectable"
・ "SARS-CoV-2 RNA Not Detected"
・ "SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Not Detected"
・ "COVID-19 Not Detected"
・ "Not Reactive"
⑤ If the test method is one of the following CDC-approved approved by the CDC and approved in the country in which the following methods are used.

Regarding the language of the negative certificate, I think I understand the above description (#24).

Q: Do test results need to be in English? Will the airline require a hard copy of the test results? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/covid-19_testing_required_US_Entry.html

Hanamaru-san
Most of the places that do this in local pharmacies are not able to provide travel certificates as far as I could tell. They are only supposed to be used as a security check for domestic travel and are treated as free of charge in each region.

As for the Kinoshita Group, it is written in English and there are some missing parts, but it is issued as a certificate, so if it meets the airline's standards, it is qualitatively acceptable.

If the job and the job offer don't match, the temp agency won't send it.

Temp agencies do not give a good impression.
Temp agencies that handle various types of jobs all together, temp agencies for nursing care, temp agencies for manufacturing and warehousing... They are desperate to attract people and try to introduce jobs somehow without saying anything but good things.
I have registered with several temp-staff agencies and have been referred to them, but I still feel that it is better to look for a job by myself.
I also know some temp-staff agencies that do not ask for the name of the client company in advance, and I wonder how this system works.

I believe that only family members living in the same household are originally allowed to register.
However, I think it is possible to add members to your account, although it is outside the terms and conditions.
There is a customer center just to the right of the store, so why don't you go there and check it out?

I would like to refer to the emergency situation of living in a foreign country.
Of course, there are many things that are unclear from the little information that is leaked out, but it is a very worrisome situation for those living in a foreign country.

I have lost touch with a friend who lives in Shanghai,
and from a Youtube video of an ANN expatriate in Shanghai,
there seems to be a hard lockdown against foreigners
and a sense of crisis in everyday food.

I just recently applied for a Re-entry permit to return to Japan temporarily this fall.
I did it myself.
The cost was $ 660 including biometric.
You can apply from the following link.

Every year
in places with a lot of Chinese, Latinos, etc., I get the flu
which is so bad that even flu shots don't work, so I still wear a mask.

Another increase in infections

Stupid government and stupid people take off their masks so they can swing back

Stupid humanity that hasn't gone away completely and does the same thing every year and never really learns

In public transportation （ Commuter trains, buses, subways, cabs, rideshares ）
Train stations, airport terminals, bus terminals, other terminals, etc.
All persons over 2 years old are still required to wear masks.　
Vaccination is not required.
General business travelers are also required to wear masks if the business requires it.

Mask wearing seems to have become mandatory again, not optional.

Since the corona epidemic, people's true feelings have come to the fore. I left my friend of 10 years because of it.
I'm the one who says I don't wear a mask because it's bad for me, I'm the only one who needs to be healthy, and I force my opinion on people not to believe in corona because it's fake. I'm almost always stuck at home and ､ I'm confident that I won't get infected because corona is fake ？ I told him to wear a mask and he said I was a corona believer, anyway I was appalled by what he said and did.

Per capita, you are counting everyone from babies to bedridden old people.

Hello. I went to Hawaii for the first time last year with my children. We found a place to stay on Vivinavi Hawaii and had great memories. The place we stayed for 2 weeks was with a person named Miya who posted on 3/24/2012. Please be assured that it is not a room share. It was very convenient because almost all the kitchen utensils and utensils were provided. It was about a 10 minute walk from Waikiki Beach. It's not minutes away from the beach, but it wasn't noisy at night and I slept well. There was also a small convenience store right below where we stayed, which was very helpful. The staff at the hotel, Miya, who manages the property, was very kind and helpful when I had a lot of questions.　I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to stay.
