While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.

Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.

Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.

Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.

Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.

It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

Server Chip

Problem / Need advice

I am currently a lunch server at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is open all night with no lunch break, but servers rotate with dinner servers at 4:30pm.
Since there is one server for both lunch and dinner, each server gets a tip.
However, the customers around 4:30pm are more subtle; it is the lunch server who is in the middle of the meal, and the dinner server who takes the check and lowers the plates.
The dinner server gets a tip for that customer.

Is this a normal part of the server duties ? I have a few questions about the subtleties of the shift times.
I do not place a check on a customer while they are eating before I come up, as it is against the rules.

Please let me know if there are any differences in calculation between Japanese and American restaurants.
Thank you very much.

It's not a restaurant that started yesterday, and the rules have been established for a long time. It's not orderly for newcomers to complain about it
Then, we should discuss it and say that currently each person is supposed to get one, but from now on we will collect them once and distribute them equally, wouldn't that be digging a grave ??

That is correct. It can be disruptive for a new employee to challenge an existing rule. If the current rules are considered fair, it may be wise to follow them.

If you feel there is room for improvement, it may be beneficial to have a quiet discussion with your manager or to exchange ideas with other colleagues.

Thank you all for your answers. The tip is of course split with the kitchen staff at the time. It is not the sole responsibility of the server.
However, since only servers rotate between lunch and dinner shifts, the kitchen staff is not affected. I am a little uncomfortable with the service I give being passed on to other servers as I believe the service I give is included in the customer's tip, but I will try to come to terms with it somewhere.
Thank you !

The explanation apparently lacks consistency. It is understandable that there is some confusion as to whether each server receives tips directly or whether the restaurant collects them once for distribution with the kitchen staff. Perhaps it would be best to reconfirm this frankly with the staff.

If you have around 100 million yen, you should have a certificate of residence in Japan and maintain a bank account
If you are a Japanese with a bank account, you should be able to open a securities account
Of course you should get your own number
I don't think the yen will stay weak for long
but if you think so, that's a plus for Japanese exporters

some people praise Abenomics
but the current weak yen is
frankly a clear reflection of Japan's decline

What happened to the Japanese people ??

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.

Bank account registered with treasurydirect

I am a former Union Bank user.
I had an account at treasurydirect.gov and had Union Bank registered, but now that US Bank has absorbed it, my bank number and account number have changed and I need to change them.
treasurydirect's system is cumbersome and I have to go all the way to the bank to change my bank account, have a document stamped like a notary seal and mail it in.
The first US bank branch I went to refused to do the paperwork, another branch rejected it on treasurydirect's side because it was stamped with something like a regular rubber stamp at first, and on the third try, even though I had it properly notarized and mailed, treasurydirect The reason was that the bank could not confirm it. The reason was that they could not verify the bank.
It said to check if the bank number or account number is wrong or if the bank supports ACH, but I have checked the routing number and account number many times and they are correct, and I honestly don't think UA bank does not support ACH, and I am at a loss.
Can anyone who is familiar with financial matters please advise me ?.

No, it seems treasurydirect is doing something on its own.
I just got an email telling me that my account could not be verified, and to check my bank number, account number and whether it is compatible with ACH.
I just went to CITIBANK to give up and open an account at another bank and register there, but they told me that they cannot stamp ( the medallion stamp ) which is like a notary stamp until more than 6 months after the account has been opened, so I'm in an all-or-nothing situation.

No really anymore, how I wish I had an office somewhere where I could complain directly ・ ・ ・ .
Online, if I try to delete a US Bank account that is HOLD and delete it once and start over, I get a warning that I can't delete it because it's HOLD.
Phone calls are not working.
When I send an email from the website, I get an auto-reply saying that they do not answer email questions. ( Then what's the submit form for ? ! )
TreasuryDirect's system, how shitty is that?
But somehow I have a feeling that the interest from TreasuryDirect will be sent to US Bank with the Union Bank account number, since they said I can use the checks from my Union Bank days until they run out, so I'll just wait and see. There is nothing else I can do ・ ・ ・.

Well, if you've already paid and got it successfully, just be careful next time.
The following is from the U.S. Embassy website.
All Visa Waiver Programs ( VWP ) Travelers must pay a $21 application fee when applying for ESTA. The fee can be paid by credit card through the ESTA application website.
