① We aim to reflect the unique spirit of Japan in our products and bring smiles and peaceful feelings to the people who visit our store and to those who take them.

② Various peoples arrived in the Far East after a long journey, and over time became an "island" and a small country.
The wisdom to live peacefully in the island nation of "Japan" is "to accept others, to know enough, and to give in.

It is this spirit that made Japan the longest lasting peaceful country in the world with a single dynasty.
The Japanese sense of aesthetics, with its love of natural beauty and eye for detail; the creativity and flexibility to adapt and change ideas and forms from scratch, like furoshiki and origami. While there is a nerdiness in pursuit of perfect precision,
there is also a Japanese grace in extreme cutting and simplicity. Can we please

reflect this unique Japanese spirit in our products and bring smiles and peaceful feelings to the people who visit our store and to those who take them.


I would like to translate this Japanese into English, but I am struggling. If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know.

I tried Google Translate and found

"At our store, we aim to reflect the unique Japanese spirit in our products and bring smiles and peace of mind to those who visit our store and those who pick them up. to reflect the unique Japanese spirit in our products and bring smiles and peace of mind to those who visit our store and those who pick them up.

The company became.

"Reflect the unique Japanese spirit in our products and bring smiles and peace of mind to those who visit our store and those who pick them up" is a uniquely Japanese expression and English speakers may not understand it.

For English-speaking people in general, "the spirit of the Japanese" means "what is it ?? It is like a Japanese soldier who runs right into enemy fire shouting "Banzai for the Emperor!" Therefore, it is doubtful that the Google Translate translation is really meaningful.

I just can't bring myself to move the yen right now because of the amazingly weak yen situation.
At the moment, I would like to buy a house in Japan to secure a place to stay in Japan, as I would like to live a hybrid lifestyle in the future.
In addition to the property tax in Japan,
are there any other taxes that would apply if I owned land in another country in the U.S. ?
Are there any documents that I need to obtain from the consulate or other authorities when I purchase a house in Japan?
Do I have to file a tax return with the IRS for deposits in Japan,
or do I have to file for land, houses, etc. ?
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had similar experiences, any problems, good or bad, etc.

AI predictions say it will eventually reach 230 yen per dollar. If I don't move now, I will lose a lot of money.

I heard that property tax in Japan was deductible in the US until a few years ago although I don't have to. I heard that if you rent out your house in Japan, you have to declare your rental income in the US.

>hybrid living

Do you have permanent residency in Japan? It would be miserable if you have a place to live in Japan but not the right to live there, like the Chinese who buy a bomb of Japanese real estate but cannot live in Japan.

I had no idea what a terrarium was, so I googled it and found that it is a thing that creates a super miniature natural world inside that glass aquarium.

I don't know where you can buy them because I'm not interested in them at all, but those glass aquariums are in pet stores that sell killifish and tropical fish. There is a large pet store near my house called Petco that sells tanks of various sizes and shapes. Is that soil special? I would use soil from my own garden, but looking online, it seems that this is not just any soil.

Has anyone been Reinstated after Green card abandonment?

I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. ( I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. )
I am a citizenship holder ( I became a citizen about 15 years ago ) but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term ( 3-year ) visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. ( I now live in Hawaii )
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. ( It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. )

Showa Otouta-san has a Japanese passport, so he can prove his survival at the consulate.
Baikinman can't prove his existence at the consulate because he has already returned his Japanese passport.

Use your head and understand the difference.

If you also return your Japanese passport and clear your mind, you don't need a notary or consulate like Mr. Baijinman, you can prove your survival just by showing your electric bill.

It doesn't have to be difficult: NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is just an ordinary traffic violation. Speeding, jaywalking, passing under a certain traffic light, stopping at a certain point, and so on.
On the other hand, a CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is a ticket for a light violation, a cracked windshield, or any other vehicle defect that cannot be prevented, but you can fix the defect and go to the CHP to prove that it was fixed. No violation points will be given. However, there is a $25 fee.
