If anyone can help me out, please let me know.
I was a housewife in Japan. I came to Hawaii with my husband and have been working for the past 3 years
and have been earning income through payroll.
I have a question on this condition.
I heard that you have to work more than 10 years to get pension in the U.S. I also heard that the period of time you worked in Japan can be added to this 10 years
I wonder if that is true ？
I would appreciate if you could also tell me how to check my current status, etc. I would appreciate it if you could also tell me how to check my current condition.

Which is the best way to send packages to Japan ？?

I would like to send a package weighing 10 to 20 kg to Japan, which is more economical, taking it to the post office or hiring a private company such as Sagawa Express ？ or how long does it take ？ The size will be about 50cmx20cm and 40cm high.
I would appreciate your advice based on your experience.

Have you ever used or know of a reliable affair investigation or box office?

Hello I am posting this to get some information and opinions from you all.

My husband is a US military man.
He divorced me a few months ago.
I put a recording device in his bag because I was suspicious of his actions and behavior.
（ I have already checked with my lawyer to see if this is against the law. ）
As a result, we were able to hear the scene where he went into the woman's house and the conversation that lasted over 3 hours.
I know cheating and adultery are not usually covered by alimony in Hawaii, but
my husband is active duty military, so if we have proof, he will be court-martialed and given a dishonorable discharge or demotion, and
the other woman is also active duty and will be punished in the same way.


If you have hired a detective before or have had the same experience as me,
please let me know.

Hi, I was injured while working. The owner of the small business is very kind and says he will do what he can to help me, but this has never happened before and I would be very grateful if anyone knows of any procedures or information about labor insurance （ procedures for injuries sustained while working ）. Thank you in advance.

Is immigration at Haneda ？ Honolulu Haneda - Nagoya

Question

Hello.
I live in Hawaii and will be purchasing an air ticket from Honolulu to Nagoya via Haneda. I am also considering staying overnight in Haneda, since most of the ticket choices were for an overnight arrival at Haneda and a morning flight from Haneda to Nagoya the next day.

In that case, can I go through immigration when I arrive at Haneda from Honolulu, and then I can move freely around Haneda until my flight the next morning?

By the way, I would be very happy if anyone who has made a connection to a regional area and stayed overnight in or near Haneda Airport could give me any recommendations.

Thank you in advance.

Momo-san,

I'm not an experienced transferee, but according to the Haneda Airport website, you go through immigration at Haneda, receive your baggage, and then check in for your domestic flight （ to Nagoya ）.
https://tokyo-haneda.com/text/flight/int/arr_step.html https://tokyo-haneda.com/text/flight/int/arr_step.html

By the way, I am also interested in the Honolulu - Nagoya route, which airline are you considering ？
JAL's Honolulu-Nagoya direct flight is once a week for a while, so I thought it would be good to float the cost of the Shinkansen if the fare is reasonable with another airline.

Koji,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Thank you very much for your site. I used to fly from the US mainland to Nagoya via Narita, but I wondered about Honolulu-Nagoya via Haneda because the immigration check was at Narita, Nagoya, Narita-Nagoya was treated as an international flight, domestic flight, and so on. I am considering JAL as the airline.
Yes, it is inconvenient because direct flights to Nagoya now fly only on Thursdays.
From July 14, there will be 3 flights a week.

Thank you again for your kindness.
Thank you very much.

Information for 2023.
I have been to Honolulu → Narita → Chubu twice on JAL.
I entered Japan at Narita.
Then with checked baggage, I checked in for a domestic flight to Chubu. There was only 1.5 hours between arrival at Narita and departure from Chubu for domestic flights, but I was able to make both connections. I didn't have time to stop at a store in Narita.

When the same itinerary required a PCR test for entry into Japan in 2022,
I could not transfer on the same day because of the time required by quarantine at Narita.
After arriving at Narita, the only flight to Chubu the next day was an evening flight from Haneda, so we had to carry our checked luggage to Haneda and stayed overnight at the Royal Park Hotel in Haneda Airport. （ I had to pay for my own transportation ）
I think Haneda has more stores in the airport than Narita, so it was a good place to buy Tokyo souvenirs.

For your information.

Momo-san,

If you take a flight via Narita, you have to go through immigration at the final destination.
Perhaps "domestic" flights to/from Narita are only available to international passengers and are treated as international flights.
On the other hand, in the case of Haneda, I think it would be a connection to an existing domestic flight, so it would be an immigration inspection at Haneda. Also, you are considering flying home on JAL, I am planning to stay in Japan from late June to early July, and JAL is my first choice.
The trouble is that when returning to Honolulu from Nagoya, except for direct flights on Fridays,
many flights depart from Centrair first thing in the morning and you have to spend time at Haneda or Narita （ although there are late flights that depart from Centrair after 2:00 ）.
I am currently looking into Honolulu-Nagoya outbound and Haneda-Nagoya inbound tickets, although it is a hassle.
The drawback is that I have to pay extra for the bullet train, and if I want to pay a little more to buy a ticket that can be changed, I have to call the JAL counter, which is notorious for not connecting.

JAL's three flights a week starting July 14 will be great for people in the Tokai region.
I used to be a Delta Honolulu-Nagoya user, but with Delta's withdrawal from Centrair and their reluctance to operate Honolulu-Haneda flights, I wonder ～ if I will have to change where I accumulate mileage these days.

I am looking for a place to buy a baby beanbag chair.

As the title says, do you know where I can buy a beanbag chair in Hawaii ？ It is a baby chair with a lightweight pipe frame. It's a cute old-fashioned chair that could be used as a set with a chabu-dai. I'd be very impressed if it made a popping sound when you sat on it.
I thought maybe there might be some in Chinatown or Korean stores, but who knows ？.

I would like to have VIO hair removal treatment because I originally thought it was bothersome and I am thinking about the future with age.
I would appreciate it if you could recommend a salon and tell me the approximate cost, including your own experience.
Thank you very much.

Medicare is a medical insurance that can be applied for from the age of 65, but is it limited to permanent residents or citizenship holders ？

If anyone has applied for it who has lived in Japan for more than 5 years with E visa for example, we would appreciate if you could share some information with us.

Thank you very much.
