We will have a 49th day in Hawaii for a relative who passed away in Japan at Hongwanji next month. There will be only two participants, a husband and wife.
We have already paid an offering at Hongwanji temple in Japan, but if we have it done in Hawaii, how much should we pay ？ Since our relative died in Japan and we cannot attend, we will have it done at the same Hongwanji temple.
We would appreciate it if you could help us.

Since no one seems to have written about this, I will.

I also held the first anniversary of the death of a relative who passed away in Japan
at a temple of the same denomination here.
I remember it was expensive in Japan, but here
I heard it was about half the price in Japan.
However, since this is a memorial service for the deceased,
I don't mind paying more than that if you want.

At the restaurant where I work, the manager receives
tips.
I believe that managers are not allowed to
receive tips, but I would like to know
if you are familiar with this.
If you are not allowed to accept tips,
please let me know where I can report it
so I can help.

Even if you are a manager, it depends on your employment system, so it is not necessarily true that you should not receive tips because you are a manager.

I think the manager there is in need of money. Don't make such a big deal about it, why don't you at least tip him?

He must be a poor guy. I think you should get out of that place and start a business.

It is a common practice in Japanese-owned restaurants.
In the restaurant where I work, the tip is divided among everyone working that day, including the owner, not just the manager. The owner works hard and there are many customers who come because of the owner, so I give up.

Correction of mistake It was ginger and ginger paste that was kept with garlic paste.
The white lid. The red lid is the garlic paste and the white lid is the ginger.
Sam's, Donkey, and Cosco do not sell this size. By the way, what else I buy here is 1.8 liters of yakisoba sauce or something else.

Go to the Hawaii State Department of Helth website and search for

The FOOD SAFETY CLASS
.

I got it before Corona, but it still seems to be held daily.
When I was there, it ended with a 2 day class at Aiea. It was free.

Seat Assignments for ZIPAIR

Question

We are planning a trip to Honolulu by ZIPAIR at the end of September, and although it seems that ZIPAIR only allows seat assignments after tickets have been purchased, we are concerned that after purchase there will be no seats available and our family of five will be split up. （ We have a preschooler ）
So I would like to ask those who have recently traveled to Honolulu by ZIPAIR, how were the flight crowds ？
I have seen posts saying that the LA flight was a rarity. I would like to ask you how was the crowded condition of the flight to Honolulu recently. Thank you in advance.

We took the Zip home for our kids' summer vacation. The trip to and from the airport was uneventful, but the return trip was full. Recently, I also purchased a trip home for winter vacation on Zip, and both the way there and back, the seats were already pretty full. There were only a few full-flat seats left. I think it would be available if it wasn't in season, but at the end of September, it's hard to say since the kids' fall break is coming up.

I used zipair this summer.
Preschoolers could be assigned to sit next to an adult for free, I believe. You could specify this before purchasing the ticket. I paid only for the seat when I bought the ticket, and added options such as meals and checked baggage later.

I don't know if this will help you, as it is difficult for expatriates to open a new account in Japan now. When I was living in Japan, I got fed up with the high fees for money transfers from the US, so I opened a dollar deposit account at a bank. I would send money from my US bank (Citibank) to that dollar account in dollars. In that case, it is just a wire transfer fee $ 35 only. You then withdraw from the dollar deposit account in yen, but at the TTB rate of that day. （ Mitsubishi UFJ Bank ） If you have an account with Mitsubishi and you are a member of Global Direct, I believe you can open a dollar deposit account while living abroad, but I am not sure about this. Please check with your bank. Or, SMBC Trust Bank's overseas direct service may be able to do so, but again, please check with the bank. As far as I know, this method has the lowest exchange fee except for Wise.

It's dangerous to carry that kind of cash around.

ZIP Air has economy flights to/from Narita for less than 30,000 one way. If you don't add luggage and meals as options, you can go cheaply.

Just a few days ago I returned from Narita by ZIP.

Checked baggage and carry-on baggage are all weighed.
I added the
value set ？ which includes seat selection, one piece of checked baggage, and an in-flight meal, because it would have been more expensive if I had added the options separately.
I bought an amenity set with a blanket because I can't sleep if the cabin is cold
The cabin is relatively warm and I may not have needed it.
No drinks are served unless you order a meal, so once you get through baggage check
you might want to buy a drink.

I was in a similar situation. It's tough. I sympathize with you.

I used ZIPAIR. It was quite good. The price is probably 90,000-110,000 yen round trip including meals, checked luggage, and seat selection. I think it is linked to the fluctuation of the yen. Also, I think it is much more expensive on holidays and special days. When I boarded, most people had the meals they ordered. And since it was empty, everyone was using 3 or 4 seats by themselves. I didn't see anyone using blankets. It wasn't that cold. I really appreciated the free wi-fi and saw many people watching Netflix and such.

If you don't have checked luggage and don't want to select a seat, I think you can do without the package. But if you have checked luggage, I think it would be more economical to get the value package, which allows you to choose your seat and includes food. The meal and water are also included.

I used Zip

When I used it, I asked the CA to switch seats because for some reason other people were sitting next to me even though there were empty rattles around me.

All the meals were very salty and tasted only of salt. So I recommend you to bring snacks instead of in-flight meals.

Everyone slept on the plane using 3 seats next to each other. I didn't think it was too small, and I didn't feel inconvenienced at all.

Health insurance for children when returning to Japan.

I am planning to bring my child, 3 years old, to my parents' home in Japan for about 2 months from the end of the year.
I am planning to register my child at my parents' house during this time, and I would like to include him in my health insurance during this time.
For those who are returning to Japan with their children for a few months,
Do you include your child in your health insurance plan or do you pay separately only during this time? ？ I am not sure.

It is not easy to get a response. As for enrollment in the Japanese National Health Insurance while temporarily returning to Japan, each local government has a different view ・ on how to handle the situation. If you are living abroad and temporarily return to Japan and then go back abroad again, you may not be eligible for the transfer in some areas. I always return to Japan for a few months every year, but in my case, I am the head of the household and move in at my parents' address, and my children are my live-in family. When moving in, there is always a confirmation of the landing date on the stamp page of my passport, so I always have my passport stamped with the landing date after the automatic gate at the arrival airport. If you enroll in the National Health Insurance system, a payment slip for health insurance premiums will be sent to your parents' house in a lump sum. I have told my parents to pay all the premiums before I return to Hawaii and to ignore any mail addressed to me that arrives at my parents' house after I leave because they say that they cannot refund the premiums once paid. Now that we are in Corona, travel restrictions are stricter than they were before Corona. Before Corona, my family used to travel between Japan and Hawaii with only US passports for my husband and children, but now I think we need both Japanese and US passports, green cards, and visas.

I have never used this method to switch licenses, but ・ ・ ・

Bank Statements should be Printable if you log into Online Banking.
There you should be able to print a statement with your name and address ・ even if it is set to Paperless.
At least FHB and CPB can do it.

I think you can use statements from your cell phone company as other proof, but I don't know. ？
You can also print statements from Papaerless if you go to your account.
Similarly, I think I could use Statements from my credit card, but I'm not sure.

I was OK with the statement I printed out from the bank office last month and the documents from when I applied for my SSN.
When I asked the consulate to issue the certificate, they told me that it will be invalid when the SS card is detached, but would you like to try ？
and I was worried, but at the license center, the document that accepted my SSN application is fine.

It's not easy to make an appointment now, so I recommend getting in line at 8 ： 00 in the morning.
If you're lucky, you can be in the room in about an hour, and it takes about 30 minutes.
