Japanese bank account

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.

I also lost my parents' house last December, so when I returned home, I went to the bank to ask about changing my address.
I had signed up for online banking a few years ago, so I was able to change my address to my sister's online, but my children had not signed up for online banking, so I went directly to the bank and was not able to change it because they did not have ID that they lived in my sister's house.
I asked the bank if I could stop the notices to my children, but they told me that they could not stop the notices and that even if they mailed the notices, they would send them back to me under a different name and that would be fine.
I had no choice but to return to the US.
I had a Japanese car license so I could apply for net banking, but my children only have passports so I don't know if they can do it.
Since they have to go to the bank to apply for it, I will try to apply for it next time I go back to Japan with them.
Since you said you don't use the address of relatives or friends, my reply is irrelevant.I'm sorry for goofing up on something unrelated. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Thank you for your reply, Blue Hill.
By the way, regarding the notice to the children, you are saying that the notice will be sent back to the bank. If it is returned, will the account still be frozen?
I am curious.In the meantime, I am going to call the bank tomorrow to discuss this. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

koko,
I think it probably means that the money will be sent back to the bank.
A few years ago, I heard something about freezing accounts that have been inactive for more than 2 years, so every time I go back to Japan, I deposit a thousand yen into my daughters' accounts.
I don't know if this is true or not, but ・ ・ ・ ?

I called two credit card companies the other day and told them everything honestly.
One credit card company said if I could change my address to a relative's house, etc. that would be OK, but
if I couldn't do that, it would be difficult to keep it.
If you use a PO Box type service you might be able to do it, but you would be on your own there ( I am guessing here ).
The other credit card company is a big okey-doke and has an expatriate service, so
they want me to change it online to a US address.
I did it and it was easy.
They also transfer your card to the US when you renew your card ( I think the fee was about 1500 yen ).
Then there is the bank, but I called general customer service and they said
it is handled by the individual branch where the account is held, so talk to them there.
I haven't done that yet, so I will let you know here when I call.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If you are going back to Japan permanently, cancel the credit card you are using in the U.S.
and apply for it in Japan once you are back in Japan and settled.Since you are going back to Japan permanently, there is no benefit in dragging your American life to Japan.
I don't intend to return to Japan permanently until I leave it to others.
I am ready to bury my bones here.
I've thrown it all away. Even if I only stir up the annoyances that I have to deal with
I remember the days in America that I passed through, and I miss them
Since the American and Japanese governments do nothing when I acquire American citizenship
because my family register is still in my home country. There are people who proudly say they are dual citizens.
I went to the city hall where my permanent domicile is and came to report that I have acquired American citizenship.The person in charge said that was great. Congratulations on your dual citizenship. I wonder if he will say.
If you have become an American citizen, we will cancel your Japanese citizenship. I guess they will just say, "If you have become an American citizen, we will cancel your Japanese citizenship.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

As far as I know, Mitsubishi UFJ Bank's Global Direct and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank's Prestige Service can maintain Japanese accounts even if the account holder resides overseas ( and the address can be changed to an overseas address and documents sent to the overseas address. ) I think it should be possible. The reference URL is as follows
https://direct.bk.mufg.jp/global/index.html
https://www.smbctb.co.jp/banking/overseas_usage/
Of course, before transferring your address overseas I have an account with Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and I used to have a bank account with Mitsubishi UFJ Bank. I am with Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and I switched from Global Direct to regular online when I previously lived in Japan for about 4 years, and I continue to have no problems accessing online from the US. However, documents will be sent to the Japanese mail forwarding service as mentioned earlier. In any case, as long as the account was already opened and transactions were ongoing, the bank did not question my nationality. Recently, the bank seems to have become stricter regarding account usage, and once a year, we are asked to sign and respond to a document titled "Request for Cooperation in Confirmation of Purpose of Transaction, etc.".This text has been translated by auto-translation.

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.
