Since I’m getting older, I’d like to leave a will for my sons.
What’s the typical fee for a consultation? ？
Is there a system like the one in Japan where the first 30 minutes are free? ？

If anyone has had a similar experience with Global Entry and TSA, please let me know.
This was my first time using Global Entry to return to Japan. While I was able to use Global Entry without any issues when returning to the U.S., I was unable to use TSA PreCheck.
When I checked at the JAL counter, I was told that the issue might be because the name registered with Global Entry didn’t exactly match the name on my passport.
When I applied for Global Entry, I couldn’t apply using my Japanese passport name, so I applied using the name I’m registered under in the U.S. As a result, although the name differs from the one on my passport, I entered my Japanese name in the “Other names （ Other names ）” field, and my application was approved based on that information.
If anyone has had a similar experience or knows how to handle this situation, I would really appreciate your advice.

I think I’m in the same situation. Just the other day, when I went to Japan, my flight ticket was under my passport name, but my Global Entry information didn’t match because I changed my last name after getting married, so I couldn’t use TSA. However, I’ve been able to use TSA when traveling to remote islands.
When I returned to Hawaii this time, I asked a Global Entry representative which name was on file for me, and it turns out it was the one on my passport, not the one in the Global Entry system. I still don’t quite understand how the system works.

Wi-Fi in Japan Travel

I am planning to go to Japan for the first time in a long time. Before Corona, I used to rent a Japanese cell phone or portable Wi-Fi when going to Japan. When I went to Canada, I used Verizon's Travel Pass. I used Wi-Fi in hotels in Canada to access the Internet. I would like to know what you do when you go to Japan ？ I would like to get your advice because I am not good with tech. I would like to confirm that
I can make phone calls and text when I use Verizon's travel plan, but I can only use the Internet in hotels and shopping centers that have Wi-Fi. It is enough, though.
If I use eSIM, does it mean that I can only use internet in Japan or do I need Verizon travel plan at the same time ？ ？
If I use Verizon travel plan, do I turn on roaming in Japan? ？
Sorry for all the stupid questions 🙇‍ ♀ ️Please advise me 🙇.

Unlimited is good if you don't mind slowdowns ！

I don't know anything difficult, so I can always use it normally. I can expect to panic if it suddenly slows down or stops while I'm driving, so I'm excited to get unlimited.

I think people who understand how much they use, GB and capacity, can save more.

Last year I don't remember my battery running that low if I charged it in the morning and went and used it occasionally on the road, but this year I was often frustrated because I just used it a little and it ran out of charge quickly.

Last year I didn't carry a mobile charger with me, but this year if I didn't have a mobile charger, the battery was completely dead before the evening.

It is quite heavy to carry mobile charger, smartphone, and pocket Wi-Fi. But I think it is a sacrifice to make my stay in unfamiliar Japan as convenient as possible.

＞ I turned it on only when I wanted to make a call, since there was no incoming call.

This is too old a story to be of any help, but it was around 2012 when I stayed overnight in Dogo Onsen Town in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture on a walking pilgrimage to Shikoku on a trip to Japan, and the next morning I was walking through the city to the next temple, No. 52, Taiyama-ji. The next morning, I was walking through the city to the next temple, 52nd Taisanji Temple, when my cell phone rang through my pocket WiFi.

When I picked up the phone, it was a friend of my wife's (XX) and she said, "I tried to call you but you didn't answer, so I called your husband. \If you are there, can you please take over the phone?

That's not good. I picked up the phone and said, "I'm walking around Matsuyama city in Shikoku, Japan, and of course my wife is not around, so I'll hang up the phone. But the other party didn't seem to understand what I said, so they called me again right away.

I have such memories of Pocket WiFi, and I can still clearly recall the situation.

Thank you all for all the advice. I apologize for not responding to some of them. 🙇‍ ♀️We got back from Japan yesterday, we are here for a week. My husband texts frequently with friends in the US, so we got the Verizon travel pass. It's $12 a day per person. We went to Fukuoka City and stayed at a hotel with Wi-Fi, a shopping mall with Wi-Fi, used LINE with relatives in Japan, and were able to roam and Google where there was no Wi-Fi. Everything went well. Thank you all for your advice ♪ ❤️❤️👍👍🙇

#23 Anna,

I see...that's a way to go. I will use it as a reference for my trip to Japan next spring.

Well, I'm too old to surf the net while traveling in Japan unless I have to. Younger people may have many chances to contact their parents, siblings, or best friends by phone, but I am over 80 years old and my mother, who is over 100 years old, is living in a very good facility, but I have lost my head. I go to visit her at the facility, but I can't get a conversation going, even though my son has come to visit her. I guess that's what she means.

We do Ichihara City Aphasia once each spring, summer, fall and winter. People with aphasia have difficulty in speaking and cannot communicate what they want to say to others, and it makes it hard for them to leave their homes. Some of them become depressed.
Come and talk with us ？
Qualified speech therapists and supporters will help you to speak.

Furiigana in accordance with the revision of the Family Registration Law

As many of you may already know,
the Family Registration Law was revised on May 26th (Japan time), and furigana will now be included.
Those who have a certificate of residence in Japan will receive a postcard from the local government confirming their yomigana, but those who have removed their certificate of residence will not receive any notice.
The following link contains Q&A for overseas residents. I also think that the Consulate General of Honolulu will contact us in due course.
If you have a name that is easily misread （ yourself ） I think it would be a good idea to read it.
