Rules for living in Japan
Residence cards and student IDs
Always have them with you every day. Be careful not to lose them. Also, never lend them to someone else. They are sometimes used to commit crimes.
My Numbers
My Numbers are personal numbers that are given to everyone who lives in Japan.
A card will be sent by mail from the ward office. Please keep it safe.
Personal information
You must not simply give people information such as your or someone else’s address, telephone number, email address, residence card number, or My Number card number.
Alcohol and smoking
By law, only people aged 20 or over are allowed to drink alcohol and smoke in Japan. It is prohibited for anyone under the age of 20 to do so.
Traffic rules
Traffic lights must be obeyed. You must not cross the street once they have turned yellow. When riding a bicycle, turn on the lights at night. The following are prohibited: two people riding the same bicycle; using a smartphone; headsets. Please obey the rules, and prevent accidents. You must also take out bicycle insurance.
When sick or injured
You will enroll in the national health insurance system when you enter Japan, so you can receive treatment at a hospital for 30% of the total treatment cost. However, you will have to pay 100% of the cost if you forget to pay the monthly health insurance fee, so please be careful.
How to put out the trash
Always separate trash into burnable, non-burnable, and recyclable. Put it into the trash bags designated by the municipal government, and put it out on the designated day, at the designated time and trash collection point. The rules vary from area to area, so check them beforehand, and follow them.
Be quiet at night
In Japanese living environments, household noise and commotion can lead to trouble with the neighbors. Especially at night, please refrain from doing things like talking in a loud voice and listening to loud music. It is good manners to be as quiet as possible.
* There are a lot of other rules for living in Japan besides these.
The school will also provide support for things you need help with.
