How you throw away the garbage in Japan…!

Did you know that there is a rule to throw away the garbage in Japan?

 

There is a rule that everyone follow in the area- to make the community organized and clean. (-And is nice to the earth too : )haha )

 

It depends on the area where you live,
But usually you have to throw the garbage away in a particular date.

For example, where I live is…..

 

(1) Every Wednesday, Saturday… Burnable
(2) Every Friday… Recycle
(3) First and Fourth Monday… Unburnable

Like this : )

 

It’s not that there is a penalty when you didn’t follow the rule,
But if you didn’t follow the rule, it will cause all the people who live in the area (and even yourself) a big trouble. And it will make the area a not good one.

 

That’s the point.
We got to cooperate and communicate each other, to make our life nice and comfortable.

 

It’s where you live, so let’s make the town you live a nice and clean, friendly one : )

Before you have a contract… what you need to prepare!

Hello!

 

How was your Valentine’s day?
Tokyo was full of VALENTINE’S DAY and CHOCOLATES…!

 

Well for me, I gave one to my dad ;P
This ‘Valentine’s day’ might be a JAPANESE culture.

 

Anyway.

 

When you have a contract in Japan,
usually you need to have a HANKO to sign the papers.

 

Ever heard of it?

 

‘HANKO’

 

It’s a stamp of your name.
And in Japan, instead of signing the paper you need to put the stamp on it.

 

So after you decided where to live-
before you sign the paper,
you need to prepare your HANKO!

 

Do you know how to make one?

 

Leave it to us!

 

We can help you do all the process to make a HANKO too.

 

And of course you can use the HANKO to other contracts – other than the apartment contract too.

 

I know it is really a ‘Japanese’ traditional culture,
but we will do our best support to help you get used to it ; )!
