Japanese bank account

Question

After obtaining my US citizenship, I kept a Japanese bank account using my parents' address in Japan.
My parents passed away a few years ago, and they kept the house, but now the house is going to be sold.
So my parents' address is no longer available.
There is no option to use the address of relatives or friends.
Please let us know your experience if you are able to keep it otherwise.
The bank is one of the city banks.

Thank you very much.

When opening a new bank account in Japan, U.S. citizens and permanent residents must disclose their information to the IRS, which banks do not like and the process takes time.

Japanese banks have also started 2-step verification, so you will not be able to log in to your account unless you have a Japanese phone number.

There seems to be some uncertain information written down, but for your reference, I will paste the recent publicity pages of the FSA and the Japanese Bankers Association as follows.

In my case, my bank is Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and almost every year since November 2020, I have been asked to fill out ・ and return a "Confirmation of Purpose of Transaction" form. In my previous comment, I once wrote that I have never been asked my nationality by the bank, but that is incorrect, and you need to fill in your nationality on this confirmation form. If your nationality is not Japanese, you are required to submit a copy of your resident card to confirm your status of residence. In my case, I have already returned my residence card, so I did not submit a copy. In addition, I have never been asked for my number card information and have never submitted any information.
I have honestly reported （ the current status of my remittance transaction information to the U.S. I have regularly remitted Japanese pension funds to the U.S. ） and have never been unable to remit funds because of this. In my case, I have been using the same account at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank since （ 40 years ago ） before I came to the U.S. and up to the present, so my transaction record may have been evaluated.
