    Arriving in Japan: Your First 14 Days

    AIC LIFE GUIDE

    A calm, practical sequence for settling in after arrival. Begin with your address and municipal registration, then complete the local and system-specific steps that apply to you.

    Use this guide carefully: some steps are nationwide rules. Others depend on your municipality, employer, school, insurer, household and residence situation. Confirm local requirements before acting.

    What to do first

    • Confirm your address and contact the correct city, ward, town or village office.
    • Complete the address procedure that applies to you and keep your confirmation.
    • Check health insurance, pension, phone, bank, utilities and school or employer steps with the responsible organization.
    • Keep official notices, dates and reference numbers for your own records.
