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.

Chubu,

I very much appreciated reading your information on 2022 and 2023. It is valuable information that last year you had to travel and stay overnight because of the PCR test, and that you had to pay for it yourself.
Even though there is no PCR now, it is still possible to ・ ・ ・ pay for it the next day on your own if you don't have enough time. This time, I was lost in a flight with a 1.5 hour connection at Haneda, but I was a little worried so I decided to take the flight after that.
I would be very happy to receive such information as whether or not there is room to stop at stores and how well stocked they are.

Thank you very much.
Thank you very much ！ ！ ！

Koji,

I thought it was a long time ago that I had been through Narita and had to go through immigration at the final destination (in my case Nagoya ）), but I guess it could have been because I went through Narita. At that time, as you say, the flight between Narita and Nagoya was treated as an international flight.
If you have to go through immigration in Nagoya and arrive in the evening, it will be late if you have to go through immigration there, so it would be nice to go through immigration at Haneda.

This time, I took a JAL flight to Nagoya via Haneda.
Thanks to the information I received about the immigration check at Haneda, I thought of staying overnight at Haneda, but ・ ・ ・ I had plans right after my return, so I had to take a same-day flight to Nagoya. ！

As for the return flight, as you said, the connection time at Haneda or Narita is long.
I decided to depart from Nagoya after 2:00 p.m. because with a morning flight from Centrair, I would have to consider an overnight stay at the airport the day before.

I wonder why the JAL counter is so hard to connect ・ ・ ・
It is really inconvenient. I have to wait for hours with the phone connected and listening to that music ・ ・ ・ I would like to avoid that, but I really hope it will improve somehow.

Delta removed from Centrair? ！
I didn't know that.
I had a bad experience with Delta in the past, so I try to fly JAL as much as possible, but it is not easy to change when I think about convenience and miles ・ ・ ・
You can never predict what will happen in the future, even in the airline industry.

Thank you very much for your frequent and varied information ！ ！ ！

nuiloamama,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience of Haneda transfer.
After hearing that, I wanted to stay overnight in Haneda and visit many places ！ but I had to give up this time because of my immediate schedule after returning to Japan. I couldn't get the flight I wanted this time, but thanks to the information you gave me, I will be able to stay overnight and see Tokyo, which is an exciting and gratifying experience for a countryman from a rural area.
Even if I have to pay for the change on the way back, if I think I can save the cost of the Shinkansen, I am thinking that an overnight stay may be possible ・ ・ ・.

The information of May 25th is very latest ！
It is full even at this time of the year ・ ・ ・
The return flight is in the middle of summer vacation and Obon, it is surely full.

Thanks a lot for your valuable information ！ ！ ！

Momo-san,

Thank you very much for raising this thread with Bing's timing.
I am glad to hear about various people's experiences. I'm finally going to be able to schedule an appointment here in the next few days.
（ It looks like the fuel surcharge is going down a bit starting today or tomorrow ）.

I am almost certain that I will be using JAL, and I will try to decide whether to choose a direct flight date or a via flight to give me more flexibility in my itinerary. If the itinerary is good enough to eat a lot of ramen noodles in Tokyo on the way back, the Nagoya flight after 2:00 p.m. is just right. I wondered if Delta is a company that takes a very serious review . Honolulu-Nagoya is not an option, but
Honolulu-Haneda has been postponed several times. There seems to be a plan to make Incheon Airport in Seoul into an Asian hub, so maybe Japan flights are on the back burner.

Have a nice trip, Momo-san!

By the way, I'm looking up HNL-NGO on JAL's booking site, and
there seems to be a bug with the recent system update.
https://www.jal.co.jp/ar/ja/

It is a bug, but the correct date is not selected when I click on the outbound and inbound date tabs.
For example, if I want to select 6/23 (Fri.) for return, I have to select 6/24 (Sat.) ） and
if I want to select 7/3 （ Mon. ） for outbound, I have to select 7/4 (Tue.) for return.
Chrome and Microsoft Edge confirm this.

Even if I want to tell JAL, I can't call or connect ～.
In the meantime, I reported it on the online form.
If anyone from JAL or JAL PAK is reading this, please contact the relevant department.

It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to make monthly savings. You may choose to keep your money in your IRA and not set aside any funds. You can have more than one IRA account, so you can open a new account at a different financial institution if the product you want is not available at that institution.

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

Question

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 don't know if it makes noise or not, but …
I think it was a store on the King Street side.

I used to go to Chinatown a lot, but since the baby was born, I haven't been there because it looks dirty, but I'll have my husband go look. I have someone who has approached me about a nice used Japanese beanbag chair, but I am looking for it as inexpensively as possible.

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.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 65 years of age or older, younger and have certain disabilities, or end-stage renal disease （ ESRD ）.

Immigrants can also enroll in Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements. Since Medicare is an individual health insurance program, an individual cannot be enrolled in Medicare for his or her spouse or parents.

Can assist parents and spouses in obtaining permanent residence in the U.S. so that they meet Medicare residency eligibility requirements. According to USCIS （ USCIS ） a green card is required for permanent residence and may be applied for through family members. If an individual is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, the parents or spouse of that individual may apply for a green card through their relationship to that individual.

Please begin by checking your eligibility for Social Security.

Below are the eligibility requirements

How long do you have to be in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
Learn more about credits at www.ssa. gov/planners/credits.html.
Although you need at least 10 years of work (40 credits) to qualify
for Social Security retirement benefits , we base the amount of your benefit
on your highest 35 years of earnings.
（ How long must I stay in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
For more information on credits, visit www.ssa.gov/planners/credits.html.
You must have at least 10 years of service (40 credits) to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but
benefit amounts are based on up to 35 years of earnings. ）

As you can see, Social Security eligibility requires
a minimum of 10 years of employment.
This can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/のサイトで個人のアカウントを作成する事でわかりますので
Please create and check your records. You can also check Medicare on the same site
please check this site.

What is the Social Security 5 year rule?
You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five of the last ten years
In addition, see explanation above.
In other words, even if you live in the US, you must have paid Social Security
taxes and Medicare for five of the last 10 years.

I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, and when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.

I think you can check the website first and if you are eligible for Social Security, you can apply for Medicare
.

Thanks for the quick information. My phone is an iPhone 11 64GB. Like Mr. Koji, I can only insert one SIM card. Just yesterday I changed my contract to SPECTRUM and now I have eSIM. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if it is possible to use an eSIM and a physical SIM card to support a Dual SIM, as Koji-san said. If I can't use my US phone number while in Japan, I don't think it will be a problem, so I am planning to buy a data SIM card for Japan from Amazon in Japan. Thank you for your continued support.

LoveKihei,

I'm an android user myself and iPhone is a bit of a challenge, but
according to the Apple information below, iPhone 11 will have dial support with eSIM and physical SIM.
（ My phone does not support eSIM （ crying ） ）

https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/guide/iphone/iph9c5776d3c/ios#:~:text=%! E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB,eSIM%E3%82%92 %E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82

Also Spectrum's plan, a quick check shows the following for international travel
https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans/international

If you enter "Japan" in the "Calling and Data Rates by Destination" field, you will get the rates while in Japan.
Talk Talk Calling and Data Rates by Destination Talk $ 0.05 / min, Text $ 0.02 intl, Data $ 0.01 per mb.
1 GB = 1000 MB, so $ 10 / GB, which is rather expensive.

The detailed settings are probably on the Apple site above, but
Make sure your data communication is through a physical SIM purchased in Japan, and
be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication through an eSIM. Please be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication via eSIM.

I don't drive very far and I don't have many miles on the car, so I always contact the rental car agency to buy it back. Now the car rental agency has sold out of cars in Corona and seems to be short of cars to rent out, so why don't you contact them?

I recently came to Hawaii again and was amazed.
Prices have become so high that I can't even pay my rent with a regular job.
Homelessness has increased dramatically
There is a shortage of police, buses, and tour drivers
All infrastructure is unprofitable and collapsing
The city stinks and the residents who lack food and clothing have lost their reason and have become ravenous beasts.
What is going to happen now? What is going to happen to Hawaii now?

＃ 33 Topi Rocco

Sorry for the sidebar.

I'm not a fictitious person. There is a lot of disparity among locals and Filipinos just as there is a lot of disparity among Japanese. Ask the housekeepers in the major hotels. Many of them are homeowners and renters.

They are saving money wisely by doing 2jobs from when they are young so that they can be rich in their old age.

People who can only think of now will not be able to live on their pensions alone in their old age and will probably return to Japan or move to the US mainland.

That is the current situation in Hawaii.

I think you all are being too aggressive with Rocco who posted this ？
I can't believe that in a free talk forum there are people who say that you don't have to live in Hawaii if you say things like that...there are so many people with bad character

I understand what you are saying Rocco
. There are many places in Oahu that are full of homeless people and smells in some places.
With the current cost of living in Hawaii, it's hard to make a living with a normal job

If you live in Hawaii and don't know this, you must have bad eyesight ？
. ？
There are many unsafe places in Hawaii, do you live in those places and don't you know it ？
Those who don't know and are attacking Rocco, please go around Oahu by car or bus and see many places.

I know how you feel ？ about Hawaii
If you are very rich, you won't mind the rising prices, but unfortunately I am a commoner too.

Town, especially around Waikiki, is already a zombie town
What will really happen to Hawaii ？?

I don't know how you came to live in Hawaii, but if your salary is not enough, it is because you are not good enough. If the company needs you, they will pay you accordingly. You can't work 50 hours a week for minimum wage. If you can do that, more people will want to live in Hawaii.
People who live in Hawaii without hardship have had a good job and hardships.

Mr. Rocco, you say outlandishly that "residents who lack food and clothing are in the state of being ravenous beasts because their reason has collapsed"
I think you are just being smoked out.
I have never encountered such a beast in my own neighborhood.

#42 Waikiki

"Before Corona, there were so many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and bus stops around Waikiki, but now I never see them "

I have lived in Waikiki for over 10 years, "and now I never see them< " This is a mistake ！ You should not make false and misleading statements ！

It is true that the number of homeless people seems to have decreased since Corona started, but I work in Waikiki from afternoon to night, so I walk to work and to my apartment. I usually get home from work around 10:00 p.m. ！ During the daylight hours, I see homeless people begging for money near the Cheesecake Factory ！ And there is a small lawn at the bus stop where the Princess Kaiulani statue is located. ！ There are also homeless people sleeping around the bus stops ！ I bet you never walk around Waikiki at night, so you don't see any homeless people

There are many of them ！ along the Ala Wai Canal and around Waikiki Health. There was a big incident this year at a 7-Eleven in Waikiki. There are homeless people living in tents near the bus stop 😭 😱 and behind the police station in Waikiki... I think it's because there are toilets and showers available there ！ I walk to work and back every day, so I might know better than you 🤣

By the way, I was surprised to see a homeless woman doing her business on the street in the daytime around the Waikiki Health Center 🤦 🤦 I've seen this before. I think these people are beyond embarrassing
I think they are the cause of the stench.
