Why would the Japanese Treasury release a 500 yen coin that doesn’t work in most machines? And what is the technical reason it doesn’t work?
Looking for a good size (2m x 2m maybe?) storage locker but live in central Tokyo. Any recommendations for where I should look that’s no more than 2hrs drive from Roppongi?
Is it true that process a japanese company to not fulfil the contract is very difficult for a foreigner ?
Is it actually mandatory to work on your working holiday visa? Everything I’ve found online says that your priority should be travelling and not working and there’s been no mention of mandatory working hours or anything (Idk if it matters but I’m Australian)
I’m trying to connect my SBI securities account to VPass but it is failing due to a mismatch between my SBI personal details and my SMBC card personal details (お客さまの口座と三井住友カードの会員情報が一致しないため受付できませんでした。)
But when I check the two they *seem* to be identical, plus they should be the same given that I opened the SBI account at the same time as doing the SMBC account (my SMBC account application form details were sent direct to SBI, I never filled the form out for them, only confirmed the details in a prefilled form).
Has anyone else had similar issues and been able to resolve them? Or any tips?
The katakana and alphabet names are both the same, and are also truncated at the same point on pages that can’t handle the full length of my name. Phone number and addresses also seem to be the same (can’t be sure though since sometimes it’s listed as X-XX-XX and other times it’s X丁目X X 番地X X号)
I paid my rent in konbini with cash (i’m waiting for my bank account to open) and the slip i got had a stamp glued to it. Do i need to send it or…?
​
And note, it’s literally just that 10cm x 2cm slip with the stamp attached. That would get lost if i were to put it into a post box, no?
Can I deposit cash into my Yucho acc at 7/11 atm?
Can someone floss my teeth for me
