Hi. I did a quick search and it seemed like most questions relating to leaving Japan and having the bank account open is related to some privately-owned bank but not the yucho bank. What would happen if I leave Japan without closing the bank?
It will probably get frozen when your residence card expires, just like private banks.
In my case it got frozen, i left in 2019 without closing it. Came back this year, and a quick show to the JP Bank office to update residence card and i could use it again right away
It’ll eventually be frozen, either due to your card expiring or because they attempt to contact you via post and are ignored for too long.
