#7 Kameo

Hello. When I returned to Japan a few years ago,
I was able to connect to Softbank with Tmobile so I didn't have to rent a router
.
You might want to check with your local Tmobile store to see if they still offer the same service
.

I recommend a cheap SIM called Google Fi （ They use T-mobile's signal in Hawaii ）. Here is a referral link.
https://g.co/fi/r/9KP0AW

I was a T-mobile user for many years because it was easy to use in Japan and overseas, but I'm glad I switched. eSIM is also available so you can switch online. The basic plan is $ 20/month ＋ $ 10/GB, but in my case I use Wifi a lot, so $ 40 ～ 50 per month for one person. There are other plans available if you use more data. The best part is that I can use my high speed data in other countries like Japan for the same price ＆ data plan without having to do anything. In Japan, when I was back this month, they changed to Softbank signal.

For example, if you use 3GB this month in Hawaii and then use 3GB in Japan in the middle of the month, you would be charged the same rate for a total of 6GB. I don't see or hear many ads for Google Fi in Hawaii, so when I learned about it last year, I wished I had known about it earlier ・ ・ ・ ！

By the way, I use dual SIM and Rakuten Mobile in Japan with the same phone. I also use Rakuten Mobile in Japan, but the signal is very bad, so when I switch to Google Fi signal at those times, I was comfortable with Softbank. If you are in Hawaii a lot, Rakuten Mobile is also recommended to have a Japanese cell phone number because you will not be charged for the months you do not use it, Google Fi alone or Google Fi + Rakuten combination is the best for Japanese in the US, but I think all the companies are changing their plans due to competition. If you have any other recommendations, I'd like to know too ！.

I am a T-Mobile user and I am temporarily back in Japan.
To sum up, if you are just on the go and check LINE or email, I don't think you need a Wi-Fi router.
However, it's very slow😅It takes a long time to open normal news sites, and you can't watch videos on Youtube.
I don't want to be frustrated when I'm out of town, so I apply for a Wi-Fi router rental before each departure and have it delivered to my parents' house on the day of arrival.

After the plane lands in Japan and you turn off Airplane Mode, you will receive a text from T-mobile a while later and you will be able to use the internet.
By the way, ↓ is the text I received.

Welcome to Japan! Your T-Mobile plan gives you unlimited data at up to 2G speeds and texts at no extra cost! Visit t-mo.co/intl-roam1 to learn more and view additional calling/data options.

I recommend a sunscreen called unseen sunscreen from a brand called Supergoop ！
SPF 40, I think.
It is a transparent sunscreen, very light and uncomfortable to wear.
You can buy it at SEPHORA or Ulta Beauty.

Hello.
I don't think there is a Japanese golf club in Hawaii
as far as I know. There are some women-only groups or groups where a few golf enthusiasts
get together.

I recently returned to Japan with my 3 year old. I checked with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and was told that infants do not need a negative test, so I returned to Japan without a PCR test for my child. However, at the airport in Japan, the child was also tested ！ My friends around me also returned to Japan without a negative test result for their infants ！.

I am glad to hear that you have confirmed with the airlines that you can travel.

During the corona, it would have made the news if someone had broken the hotel quarantine, but
the mood in Hawaii is now that the corona is a thing of the past （ evil ） and
I wonder how strictly the quarantine status is checked. I wonder how strictly the quarantine status will be checked in this situation.

But since this is just a personal guess, it would be nice to have a contribution from someone with experience.

Yesterday, 4/20, my friend arrived in Honolulu under the same conditions. I also thought lightly that since the atmosphere in Hawaii is no longer the Corona disaster, it would be okay to ignore the self-quarantine ？.
But in fact, the hotel where my friend is staying has been informed that she is under quarantine and that her card key can only be used once when she checks in, and once she leaves the room and the door is closed, she can no longer use the card key and the police and immigration will be notified. Perhaps, as in the case of the Corona Disaster, the hotel seems to get some kind of reward if you report it properly. I was surprised that they were quite strict.

Out of curiosity, I read the revised rules effective 4/14/2012, which are the Amended Order (Amended Order ⌘) and the Certificate of Attestation ⌘(Attestation ⌘).
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/CDC-Vaccine-Order-04-04-2022-p.pdf
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/ATTACHMENT-A-COMBINED-PASSENGER-DISCLOSURE-AND-ATTESTATION-4-4-2022-p.pdf

With regard to allergies. Vaccines are exempted from vaccination if they are contraindicated (p. 16).
Contraindications include anaphylactic shock after the first dose of vaccine,
or a known allergic reaction to the contents of the vaccine.
For more information, please see.
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#contraindications
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#appendix-e
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#appendix-f

This Medical Contraindications section states that a licensed physician must determine that the traveler exhibits symptoms of a medical contraindication to the coronavirus vaccine.

From the above, a food allergy is not a reason not to receive the corona vaccine, but
a vaccine-related allergy, diagnosed by a physician, is.
We are sorry to hear about your friend, Loco, but it does not seem to be a reason for not vaccinating due to a disease not related to a vaccine allergy.


With regard to immigration, I apologize for my lack of study, but I do not know if an immigration officer would deny a form in accordance with CDC guidelines on the basis of being unvaccinated.
Do they now ask if you are vaccinated or unvaccinated at immigration ？
By the way, immigration inspectors certainly have authority over immigration, so any traveler can be denied entry.

On the other hand, p. 27 of the revised regulations states that the airline must verify that the traveler is an exception to the vaccination requirement.
I hope the airlines are familiar with the rule, but
I suspect that they will not simply say yes, considering the procedures to be followed if a person is denied entry.

Finally, regarding quarantine, I read Attestation for the first time.
Since you will be signing and submitting this form stating that you are going to self-isolation,
please be aware that if you go out while in isolation and are questioned by the authorities and they find out you went out while in isolation,
there could be some bad consequences.

And that's a long story, but I think that's about all I can read from the relevant documents.

if you have an unvaccinated child under 18
does that mean that even if the parent has completed the vaccination … it's not allowed?

RoccoMoco mentioned the iHealth Antigen Rapid Test.
I thought it could not be used for travel, but
I see that it can be used for entry into the U.S. if you follow the procedure below and take the test with online guidance.

This was under the light.
It's convenient not to have to go to the inspection station.

Thanks for the great information.

Hanamaru-san,
Maybe there are two points,
1. whether the pharmacy's free antigen test meets the CDC requirements,
2. whether the form they prepare meets the immigration requirements,
I think.
1. seems to have a wide opening based on the posts in this thread.
As for 2., for example, I copied from ANA's information page （ https://anasalesa.com/covid-19_update/ ） but the following is a requirement:
The Kinoshita Group is a group of companies that are in the process of developing a new business. In the case of Kinoshita Group, everyone should add their date of birth and passport number in some way in the "personal details" section.
As for the language, I believe that either Japanese or English is acceptable as long as the airline company can determine it, but
I remember that English or a translation is preferred in case a CDC official needs to examine it upon entry into the U.S.
（ Sorry for not posting primary information ）

I am not familiar with the free tests available at pharmacies in Japan, so I can't say much more, but
I hope this helps.

① Personal details ： In addition to name, personally identifiable information （ Date of birth or passport number, etc. ）
*Note: Name and personally identifiable information on the negative certificate must match "passport". must be consistent.
② Date of specimen collection
③ Laboratory information （ Name and contact details of the medical institution where the test was performed ）
④ Test results must be listed as follows.
・ "Negative"
・ "Undetectable"
・ "SARS-CoV-2 RNA Not Detected"
・ "SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Not Detected"
・ "COVID-19 Not Detected"
・ "Not Reactive"
⑤ If the test method is one of the following CDC-approved approved by the CDC and approved in the country in which the following methods are used.

Regarding the language of the negative certificate, I think I understand the above description (#24).

Q: Do test results need to be in English? Will the airline require a hard copy of the test results? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/covid-19_testing_required_US_Entry.html

Most of the places that do this in local pharmacies are not able to provide travel certificates as far as I could tell. They are only supposed to be used as a security check for domestic travel and are treated as free of charge in each region.

As for the Kinoshita Group, it is written in English and there are some missing parts, but it is issued as a certificate, so if it meets the airline's standards, it is qualitatively acceptable.

I believe that only family members living in the same household are originally allowed to register.
However, I think it is possible to add members to your account, although it is outside the terms and conditions.
There is a customer center just to the right of the store, so why don't you go there and check it out?
