For foreigners who want to work and study in Japan for a period of time, it is by no means a matter of successful entry after getting off the plane.

There are still a series of urgent legal procedures to be completed.

Take Ning Weimin as an example. At this time, he must first complete the resident registration procedures in accordance with Japanese laws and regulations within fourteen days.

You should know that the alien registration certificate he received when entering customs at the airport was not a complete version.

Currently, his name only has English letters on the certificate, and his address is blank.

So he must first go to the Immigration Bureau to change the letters into Chinese characters for his name.

Then go to the ward office where you live to add your address, get your health insurance card, and apply for seal registration and resident card.

Once all these are completed, the resident registration procedures for entering Japan will be officially completed.

Secondly, since Ning Weimin obtained a business operation visa, he came to Tokyo to open a restaurant.

Therefore, there are still a series of business procedures that require his intervention to complete.

In this regard, he first had to go to the Legal Affairs Bureau to complete the information about the president of the catering company he had applied for in Japan, as well as the registration materials that had not yet been submitted, in order to obtain Fujimoto, which is equivalent to a domestic business license.

Then go to the bank to apply for company and personal bank cards and get back the registered capital.

Then, in order to open a restaurant, you have to make an appointment at a health center to study and obtain a "Food Hygiene Responsible Person" qualification certificate before you can apply for a formal business license.

In the end, you will inevitably have to hire a tax accountant to help you file your taxes.

Only after reaching this point can he really get busy with the store location selection, decoration, preparation of kitchen utensils, stoves, tableware, manpower, and other specific practicalities of opening a store.

But having said that, whether you are completing the resident registration procedures or completing the business procedures, you need to have a fixed address.

Moreover, it is not allowed to register this address in a hotel, hotel or office.

Even the requirements for bank card processing are even more difficult.

Because many banks require customers to provide a landline phone number.

Therefore, Ning Weimin would not be able to go through any formalities unless he gave priority to solving the problem of renting a house.

What's more, some urgent matters cannot even be postponed.

If you fail to complete the resident registration procedures within the time limit, the consequences will be serious.

Most Japanese people are very conscientious in their work, and their level of legal seriousness is not ordinary.

If Ning Weimin fails to strictly follow other people's rules, he might be deported.

At this point, I have to mention the difficulty of finding an apartment in Tokyo.

The rental market in Tokyo is actually a world of deep water and huge pitfalls.

Since Tokyo has become a first-class international city, almost everyone, both Japanese and foreigners, wants to go here.

This results in the rent here being much higher than the average in Japan and the cost of living being extremely high.

Real estate agents have no worries about having no one to rent, so they always deliberately sell houses with high remuneration regardless of the actual needs of their clients.

And he likes to play some shady tricks more and more.

For example, the more urgent the customer is, the more they promise to do something good, but in practice they are perfunctory and slow.

The purpose is to prevent customers from being too picky and move in as soon as it suits them.

Yes, the Japanese are world-renowned for their service attitude, and the attitude of real estate agents is also very good on the surface.

But I can't help but hide my knife behind my smile.

If no one else told her, Rinko Kagawa had been severely cheated.

I remember that when she graduated from the Design Department of Tokyo University of the Arts, she wanted to stay in Tokyo and work.

After choosing from thousands of options, I finally settled on a house with a good size, good location, and a very cheap price.

But I never expected that what I moved into turned out to be a "house discounted for special reasons."

Later, when she learned the truth from her neighbor, she was almost too scared to sleep, so she had to find another place to move.

This time I met an intermediary who didn't mean what he said.

He obviously promised that he would be able to move in by then, but in the end he broke his promise.

The other party realized that the moving date was not included in the contract, so they just said "I don't know" to shirk the responsibility.

However, Rinko Kagawa, who had already hired a moving company, was faced with the embarrassing situation of having nowhere to put her moved things due to the irresponsible agency, fearing that she would have to sleep in a park.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask her classmates in Tokyo for help and temporarily store her things in other people's yards.

The only good thing is that it didn't catch up with the rainy season.

In addition, just like the darkness of the Japanese agency is like a strange flower in the high-quality Japanese service.

Japanese landlords have also changed the trust mechanism of the entire society. They are extremely picky about their tenants and have almost become the most troublesome creatures.

Especially for foreigners, they are completely distrusted.

Many Japanese are unwilling to rent their houses to foreigners.

People who are willing to rent must also be wary, requiring a guarantor, and sometimes even signing a contract with a third-party guarantee company.

So the reality is that it is not easy even for Japanese people to find a house at a suitable price and location in a short period of time.

Not to mention foreigners who are subject to many restrictions.

Then there is no doubt that Rinko Kagawa, who was sent to assist Ning Weimin in handling these matters, also understood this situation.

With a serious and responsible work attitude, she must give priority to solving the issue of Ning Weimin's address.

I'm afraid that if one thing is not handled well, it will become a vicious cycle with no solution.

So after meeting Ning Weimin in the club lounge.

In addition to handing over the taxi ticket that Ishikawa asked him to forward, and the guarantee information needed by Ning Weimin for service.

She also explained in detail the importance of Ning Weimin renting a house.

Then he acted vigorously and immediately took Ning Weimin to see the real estate agency.

To be honest, in this matter, Ning Weimin is much happier than others. It is not difficult for him to secure the rental place as soon as possible.

Because Supervisor Ishikawa was willing to use the name of Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd. to guarantee him.

And they sent someone to go through the real estate agency one month in advance to help him find a place to live.

Right now, the real estate company has provided two houses for Ning Weimin to choose from, and he can move into them within a week.

The first property is in the port area.

A renovated apartment built in 1972. The landlord lives on the seventh floor.

The room size is okay, with 11 sleeping areas in addition to the kitchen, toilet and sleeping area.

(1 tatami = 1.6562 square meters, the size of a tatami mat).

The landlord is an old couple, and since all the cleaning of common areas is done by the landlord, there is no commonwealth fee, and there is no need to share public health expenses equally.

The house is ten minutes' walk from the subway station and behind the shopping street, making it convenient for shopping.

If it rains or snows, you can go a long way out of the station without getting wet.

The room also comes with furniture, electrical appliances, a security door, and a bicycle parking lot. The rent is 98,000 yen a month.

Speaking of things that can be faulted, apart from the balcony being a bit small, there is a tavern downstairs where there will be conversations between Mama Sang and the drunkard uncle in the middle of the night.

As for the second house, it is not in Minato City, but in Meguro District, which is further away.

Although the distance is far away, it suddenly became a lot cleaner, safer and less noisy.

This house is a high-end apartment in a relatively high-end residential area. It can be regarded as a place where Tokyo's old-fashioned petty bourgeoisie and young people gather together.

The people who live here are either rich people or artists.

Moreover, the Meguro River here is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan. You can see the river from the balcony of the house.

Once the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery will definitely be particularly beautiful.

Speaking of the layout and area of ​​the room, it is better than the one in the port area.

It has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with an area of ​​10 square meters (1 square meter = about 3.31 square meters).

The balcony outside is very large, almost 1.5 square meters.

The toilets and bathrooms are fully equipped. Apart from the fact that there are no furniture or household appliances, you can move in almost with your bags.

The bad thing is that in terms of daily necessities and convenient transportation, it is not as convenient as the houses in the port area.

Moreover, the rent is also higher. The landlord demands 120,000 yen a month, leaving no room for negotiation.

In addition, an additional monthly management fee of 18,000 yen is required.

All in all, the conditions of these two houses are really good.

From Rinko Kagawa's point of view, the price is very reasonable.

This is probably because the real estate agency sells Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd.'s face very much.
