Answer 1

Once you are settled, you can use your city hall or 区役所 or 市役所 as a resource. They can assist with some basic information regarding your local city and community services offered to residents.

Some tidbits of information that seemed to help us as we learned over our 3.5 years in Japan thus far.

The word Hospital is used to refer to clinics and actual hospitals　病院 sometime the word clinic is also used. In Tokyo there are many English speaking doctors and hospital staff members that can speak English.

Internet connections are fast and very cost effective. Most people use IP based phones services provided by the internet providers. This makes for really cheap long distance and overseas phone calls.

For Tokyo and the Kanto area the winters are cold and freezing, the summers are hot and humid. Autum and spring are mild transitional periods. It does snow in the Kanto area.

Prices are high in Japan. There are places that you will find that are cheaper than other places. It takes some looking and searching.

Answer 2

Apa Khabar, Japan is a very peaceful country. Still good for foreigners. Prices are high but salaries are also good if have a good job. Japanese currency is called Yen. Today One US$ was around 117 or 118 Yen.

Japanese Culture is good. Food could be problem for foreigners in the beginning but there are many shops for other food too. Weather at present is cold. Often it rains. But depends in which area do you live.

At job those who work hard be in time Boss like them no matter big firm or small factory. Recently position of Trainees and Technical trainees from other countries are not good.

Is this enough for you? I guess so.

Answer 3

You will find people in Japan very cultured and helpful. The currency used in Japan is Yen. The climate varies widely from one region to another region. During summer it is hot and humid. In winter it snows a lot on Sea of Japan but dry on on the Pacific Ocean side. Good times to travel in Japan is early or mid-April or late-October

Answer 4

you will get lost easily since there are no names for the streets, but don't worry, ask a police or try to look a the map really carefully.
for trains, there are many companies, different speeds,
just don't get on to the train that don't stop at the station you want.
for food, you can find cheap foods (as well as expensive) anywhere, just go to one of the fast food resturant like sukiya, matsuya...(yellow)..and so on.

i think its hot in japan, but if you are from malaysia, then maybe little bit cold for you.
many companies like to give out tissues for free (just to promote their products or services), feel free to take them.
