Declare foreign bank account interest for permanent tax resident

Hi all,

I recently became a permanent tax resident in Japan after completing 5 years here last September.

I have been maintaining a bank account in my home country with some money where I frequently earn interest (with tax already deducted at source by the domestic bank as per local law). However, this interest is very low – around 2000-3000 JPY per year in total, as the balance in the account is very low just enough to maintain a minimum balance.

So do I need to report even this meagre interest amount to NTA, now that I have permanent tax residence status?

Thanks
