FedEx and USP don't seem to be able to send it …
It seems to be a very difficult procedure for high value items, and I am trying to think of other ways to send it.

Thank you both for your comments.

This may not answer your question, but while you are thinking about it, why don't you take it with you and transport it to Japan yourself ？
since you still can't find the answer even if you do a lot of research anyway.
That would be more reliable ？.

#10 Deliveryman

I didn't know there was another deliveryman. (⌒-⌒; )

Yes, that's right. If you have time, that would be cheaper than the shipping cost. ！
After all, the shipping cost is great.

#11 Dear Mr. Deliveryman
Yes, the fastest way is to bring it when you go to Japan 😌
However, we run a company here and we are not able to go back. I wanted to surprise my family with a gift, so I consulted here.

Thank you for your comment.

It is very kind of you to surprise your family.
If you want to surprise your family, you should ask someone you trust to order a different product and deliver it in Japan. If you want to surprise your family, ask someone you trust to order a different item and have it done in Japan, so that you don't have to bother your management
and can simply make your family happy more quickly. In Japan, everything is available as long as you pay for it.

A visa is required.

My daughter-in-law (Japanese nationality) living in Hawaii and my son-in-law (Korean nationality living in Hawaii) planned a trip to Korea to show my grandson, but my daughter needed a visa and applied for it at the consulate, but they said it would take 4 weeks to get the visa and my grandson's summer vacation would be over, so only my son-in-law and grandson So my son-in-law and grandson went alone. I heard that if you make your plans early enough, you can get the visa.

Thank you for your immediate comments. It was very helpful to hear your specifics. I will inquire at the consulate once.

I am going to Korea.
Currently, a tourist visa is required to enter Korea for travel purposes.
To enter Korea, you need to submit a negative test certificate at least 2 days before departure. Also, it is required to retest within 3 days of entry and report the results.
I applied at the Korean consulate in Japan for a family visitor visa, which is a different type of visa from a tourist visa, and it was approved within a week or so while I was temporarily back in Japan. The tourist visa takes a little longer (about 2 weeks). I think the waiting time from application to approval is different from the Korean Consulate in Hawaii, but just for your information.

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo ・ Consulate's website states the following


Q. How long does it take to renew or issue a passport?

A. Usually about 3 ～ 4 weeks.

Q. Can I expedite the passport application process for a fee, like in the U.S.?

A. We do not offer that service outside the US. If you need your passport earlier than usual for travel or other reasons, please consult with us at the time of application.

When I left the U.S., I was asked to present the certificate at the check-in counter and the gate, and I was seriously checked. When I left the U.S., I was asked to show it at the check-in counter and at the gate and was seriously checked.

I had a PCR check at CVS Walgreens. It may depend on the time of the year, but the results came out faster at Walgreens.

＃ Mr. 2

I guess children don't need it
Thank you
I am considering which child should have the test
I am looking for one in the South Bay

＃ Mr. 3
I see.
I guess it would be more reliable to bring my own
but still, the test Japan is asking for sounds painful
I feel sorry for the children under 6 years old,
I don't know if they can stand it 💦

thank you all! ！ Thank you all!

In the exchange square of Vivinavi Hawaii, the topic "About my return to Japan with preschool experience" is introduced. It would be better to check with the airline company. The Japanese government is not to be trusted because of their constant changes in what they say.

② -1 Inspection certificate for children
We request that children also obtain an inspection certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not have a system of inspection for children who are not yet in school, the quarantine service, after asking about individual circumstances, may require a child （ generally under 6 years of age ） who enters the country accompanied by a parent or other caregiver who lives with him or her to have a negative test certificate. If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate.

Last year, when my 24-year-old son, who has dual citizenship, went to renounce his Japanese citizenship, the consulate advised him to keep his Japanese citizenship because he could renew his passport after the age of 21.
They cannot force you to renounce your nationality, so if you apply for it, they can make you one.

I was able to renew without any problems.
The receptionist told me
that I have to choose my nationality at the age of 21, but since I haven't decided yet, I will go through the renewal procedure, but if I receive a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will give up my Japanese nationality at that time.
Has anyone who has renewed his/her citizenship been told the same thing ？?

My son applied for a passport the year before last and was told the same thing.
but it has been 2 years and no letter has been received.

My acquaintance is in his 40s,
he is Japanese born in Hawaii but he still holds dual citizenship.
He has never been to Japan, so he renews it at the Honolulu Consulate.
However, he said he is trying not to cut it off because if he does, it is very difficult to get a certified copy because his relatives are not in Japan. He said that the letter he was told when he applied for his son's application, he has never been told by the consulate about renouncing his nationality.

Sorry for the sidebar. Has anyone who has taken US citizenship from marriage been able to renew their Japanese passport at the consulate in Honolulu ？?
