You can use it all over the world, whether it's Sonicare or Aura B. You don't need a transformer.
If you think about it simply, most of the things you would take on a trip can be used both in Japan and in the US.
You can use your PC or whatever ？.

Every time I go to Japan, I bring an electric toothbrush that I bought here, and since it is battery-powered, I do not need a transformer. I did not know that there are electric toothbrushes that require a voltage machine. Is it rechargeable?

I am currently applying for a green card.
I recently went for a physical and was told that I need two vaccinations.
I heard that it is possible to get the vaccinations at Longs or Costco, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get them cheapest?

About a year ago,

I don't know which vaccine you need, but in my case, I needed an additional tetanus vaccine.
I got it at Long's and it was covered by my insurance.
If you go to the Longs website and enter your date of birth, you can see a list of which vaccines are available at which Longs.
There were about 10 vaccines available at Long's.

However, at the Longs near my house, I had to make an appointment.

I found the price list I looked up at the time and will repost it.

The one I got was the triple vaccine including tetanus Ǿ(Tdap Ǿ).

Long's $ 48
Safeway $ 55
Walmart $ 51
Cosco $ 51

For reference.

Thanks for the information.
I was told that my insurance would not cover it and when I checked the cost at Longs I was told Tdap was $85 ・ ・ ・ .
I didn't realize how much of a difference a year makes ・ ・ ・.

Mr. G.

Does it change that much in a year ？
so I did some research.
Then I found a site where I could find out how much at a nearby store.

https://www.goodrx.com/tdap

This shows that even Long's is $ 56.
I'm puzzled that Cosco is $ 75...

It says that the price is without insurance.
Maybe the price of the vaccine is $ 56, and the fee or injection fee ？

doctor will charge a doctor visit, so in any case, I think the drugstore is cheaper.

About Japanese Language School

Question
#1
  • Rak
  • mail

My child is still very young so it will be a while before he/she attends, but I am looking into it. I think the most famous Japanese language school is Rainbow Gakuen, but what is the difference between Rainbow and Sakura Japanese Language Preschool that I found while researching ？ I know that Sakura is from 2 years and 10 months to about 5 years old ？ and Rainbow has a kindergarten (from what age, I'm not sure) to middle school.
Either way, these are the only ones that I know of. In any case, these are Japanese language supplementary schools, not like pre-schools where you leave your child ？ I wonder if most people who send their children to these schools send them to both pre-schools and Japanese language schools ？ My old boss's child used to say Rainbow only on Saturday I think I read somewhere that if a child cannot speak Japanese to some extent, he/she cannot even enroll in Rainbow. Is it difficult to get in ？
Various questions themselves are vague, but if you know anything about these facilities, please let me know.

About the Japanese Community

Hello ！
I am a newcomer who just landed in Hawaii 3 days ago ！
I am here to work for a couple of years for a job.

Hawaii is a very nice place, but …
I still don't know what's right and left and I'm still worried.

To those of you who live in Hawaii, could you please tell me of a Japanese community where I can exchange various information
？
I think it would be a waste if I stay in Hawaii ！
I would appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you ！
There are probably many different genres of Japanese communities in Hawaii.
I don't know what you recommend because I don't know your gender and generation, HARU. There are many Christians and Soka Gakkai in Hawaii. There are also many network business invitations. There's a lot of interaction between moms and dads. Many people are in the real estate business.
I meet Japanese acquaintances when I go to izakaya.

I think everything is like friends, so as you make friends through common interests
you will meet various groups and friends.
I hope you enjoy living in Hawaii!

T-mobile phone with a Magenta55 plan.

Question

I have a question for those on the same plan.

Is it correct that it is 0.25 per minute $ to call a landline in Japan from Hawaii ？
and is there a charge for the other party as well ？
is this the same amount to call a landline in Japan or is this the same amount when calling a Japanese landline in Japan? ？

One more thing, when I travel to Japan with this phone, will it be
as easy as before to connect to a local carrier and use international roaming ？

If you know, please help. Thank you very much.

That's about the price. I call my mother every day and it's never too expensive or difficult.
I don't think she calls the other end. I have only called landlines.

T-Mobile: Welcome to Japan! Your plan includes coverage that gives you unlimited data On Us now at faster speeds up to 256Kbps, plus unlimited texts at no extra cost. Calls are $ 0.25/min. Want high-speed data and unlimited calling? Get an International Pass: t-mo.co/intl-pass1 Enjoy your stay!

When you arrive in Japan and turn on your phone, you will get this message.

Postscript ： I think it was Softbank ？ I called my parents' house and
I called the hotel. I made a call in the same way as I do in Japan.
No area code within the same city, or something like that.

Dear Halo

Thank you for your prompt reply. If it can be used in this way, it is very helpful for the low price.

How to call a Japanese landline from Hawaii on your cell phone

Question
#1

I use a prepaid account with a company called MYSTAR GOLD to call Japan.
I have been using this company for a long time and have no problems, but from the time I first started using them until now
the company name has changed about twice. I think the first one was called MYSTAR123.
I decided to recharge my account because my balance was getting low and when I looked for the website
I found that the website was gone.
Periodically I get text messages from this company saying 50% off or sale if I recharge today
so it seems I can recharge if I call them.
However, I am concerned because the website that used to be there is gone.
I would like to know if anyone has used this company and recharged over the phone and had any problems.
Or what other methods （ or companies ） do you recommend for calling Japan?
Thanks in advance.

I buy a PennyTalk prepaid card at Longs. Each time I buy a card for $ 25, it says 4 ¢ per minute for calls to Japan. I rarely have the opportunity to make international calls to Japanese phones, but I always have it on hand for calls to hospitals and other places where I can't reach someone without a phone call.

I am on Skype's Japan Unlimited Min Landlines plan. I pay about $ 11 every 3 months and I think the annual fee is even more discounted. That's what you get with Unlimited. Useful for calling my parents' house. When I call from Skype, I just run the Skype app on my phone and call directly from there to a landline in Japan （ 81- number. ）. It's easy and convenient.

Thanks for the training

information.
In my case, I would prefer to use
a prepaid card rather than paying ＄ 11 every 3 months since I only call Japanese landlines 3-4 times a year.
but I will refer you to it. Thank you very much.

To attach a photo to a post to the information board

Also, I don't know how to attach a photo to a response post to the board, but you can ask the other person to reply to your e-mail and If you receive an e-mail from the other party via Vivinavi, you can attach a photo to the e-mail reply.

I just tried to do it again and found that I can do it the same way as attaching to a regular email ！ I usually only text and don't use email much, so I was wondering if there was a special way to do it because it was an email for vivinavi. Thank you.
