Recently my eyes have suddenly deteriorated and I'm thinking about getting glasses or contacts.
I don't have insurance that I can use for my eyes, but how much does an eye exam cost ?
I would also like to know if you have any recommendations for an eye doctor or store.

I am thinking of doing a fertility test, but I was wondering if you could recommend any hospitals or doctors ?

I have already had blood tests done at my family doctor, and there were no abnormalities in my numbers.
The doctor advised me to ask my acquaintances and look at word of mouth to decide on a doctor for the examination, and I have been researching on the Internet, but I have no clue how to decide.

I am not very good at English, so I am looking for a hospital with an interpreter.
I would appreciate any information you can give me.
Thank you very much.

For those of you who have recently returned to Japan, what was the situation like wearing masks in Japan? Did you feel like you had to wear a mask from the moment you arrived at the airport?

I am currently back home.

All workers in the airport wear them, but not foreign tourists.

I guess 90% of Japanese are wearing it.

The same applies to malls, where 100% of employees wear them.

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.

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.

Haneda, I have experience with transfers.

I went to
Honolulu → Haneda → Nagoya last May and this January, both on JAL.

Last year, due to PCR search, I found it difficult to transfer to Nagoya, so I stayed one night and took a Nagoya flight the next day.

Arrived at Haneda, went through immigration, picked up my luggage, went through customs,
stayed overnight at a business hotel in Kamata, and headed to Nagoya the next day.

In January, I was able to take a flight to Nagoya on the same day.

I also flew back via Haneda
My luggage went through from Nagoya to Honolulu.
In the morning, I took the 7:30am flight to Haneda, and although the transit time at Haneda was long, I enjoyed seeing Tokyo and meeting friends in Tokyo.

Actually, I am still in my hometown and came here yesterday on a direct flight to Nagoya, but
I will go back via Haneda to have fun in Tokyo.

#Koji-san

I was also a Delta Honolulu-Nagoya user.
I wonder what I should do with my accumulated miles ?

JAL Honolulu ⇔ Haneda, and Nagoya → Haneda → Honolulu and
Since the price is the same, bullet train fare will float.

And the Nagoya flight was also very comfortable with the new 787 and wider seats.

nuiloamama,

I had no idea to spend a whole day sightseeing in Tokyo,
since my first priority was to go to Centrair in the morning. There are a lot of places to stop by in Tokyo, so we won't be bored until the evening .
In that case, I would probably pick up my luggage at Haneda and leave it in the luggage storage
since I have time before my departure flight.

When I returned this New Year's holiday, there were quite a few empty seats on the Nagoya flight, but
now when I look at the available seats in the reservation system, it looks like they are filled up pretty well.
It is good to see people coming and going again, but we need to reset the feeling that we are used to empty and comfortable airplanes.

I hope you have a great time in Japan, nuiloamama.

#Ko no Kanji-san

I also felt it was a hassle to go through Haneda at first.
However, when there was no Nagoya flight, I had no choice but to take it.
I deliberately took the Haneda route last time and this time because I could use the transfer time in Tokyo for good and I did not have to pay for the Shinkansen.

On the return trip, when you check in at JAL domestic flight at Centrair, they give you a boarding pass for
Nagoya → Haneda
Haneda → Honolulu.

And your luggage will go through to Honolulu.
So no need to pick up or check in at Haneda.

When you get off the plane, you can go out normally (it is a domestic flight)
Go sightseeing,
If you want to check your carry-on baggage, you can go to baggage check.

If you want to board the Honolulu flight, use the boarding pass you received at Centrair.
You don't need to check in, so it's easy.

I go through Haneda because it takes a long time to get out to the center of Tokyo if I go through Narita.

In January, there were no seats available, but
This time, I flew to Nagoya on May 25, and
there were no seats available. I looked around and there were no empty seats in economy, and
there were only a few seats in premium comfort.

And the return flight in June, Haneda → Honolulu, was also near full.

nuiloamama,

Thank you very much for the detailed information !
It is very convenient to be able to move around without thinking about luggage when you arrive back at Haneda.
It is very convenient to be able to go to the center of Tokyo and do a lot of things on the last day.
( On the other hand, I would like to avoid the return trip via Narita )

Due to various reasons, I can make concrete plans in June.
I think the seat itself will be fine since I will be traveling alone, but
I'm the type of person who doesn't feel comfortable unless it's an aisle seat.
I'll make a flight reservation as soon as June.

Supplemental
Nagoya for return → Haneda is arriving at Terminal 1.
Haneda → Honolulu departs from Terminal 3.

If you check your carry-on baggage in the baggage check
I would check it in at Terminal 1, pick it up at Terminal 1 first in the evening, have a meal, and then move to Terminal 3 (then take the free bus)

That is a bit of a pain.

The Wi-Fi rental that was mentioned earlier in the topic is
returned at Terminal 3.

I wish Momo-san and Koji-san
a pleasant stay in Japan.

It depends on which company 401K you are using.

The experience I know is that some agents cannot withdraw without retiring and

some agents can withdraw at any time without retiring.

The fastest way to ask is to call or email your topical agent.

I hope you can Carry Over successfully.

You can continue to hold it, but since you can't fund the account, you generally Roll Over to an IRA. Once you have completed the Roll Over, you will be required to deposit into the account monthly the amount you have decided to save ( ) with an annual limit of . 264> to be deposited into that account each month. Ask at the branch for details.
