P.S. I'm not sure if you can get it through the official U.S. government website.
Come to think of it, I think it's $ 21 if you go through the official US government website. 8690 yen is also a vendor fee somewhere ？
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.
Note ： Beware of counterfeit websites where third parties request unauthorized information or application fees. These businesses and websites are in no way affiliated with the U.S. government.

Not to answer your question, but my parents are coming to the U.S. soon and ESTA is something that all people coming from Japan （ tourism ） must apply for ？ or is there something else I should know about?

Normally, they do not close your account out of the blue due to their business practices.

Since they are also a commercial company, they have a means of saying, "In this case, here is what you should do" and they will probably send a "warning" to your registered E-Mail

address, etc.

You should act according to that warning.

As a Showa-era person like myself, the first meal is cooked at home and served in lacquer ware for the first meal （ and the child in a formal kimono is made to imitate eating ）, but this custom may have changed. It is a family ritual for children, so I don't think it is the purpose of going to a restaurant to please adults in the first place.　 Small snapper can easily be found in Asian markets and are easy to roast in the oven.

Did anyone see the FCI Japanese news broadcast on the morning of May 18? ？
In between the news footage, there was a voice that had nothing to do with the content of the news. I'm glad to see you again", and twice.
This voice had nothing to do with the news that was being broadcast at the time.
Is this a broadcast accident? ？
Was it on other people's TVs as well? ？
I didn't pay much attention the first time, but since it came in twice, it was like a psychic phenomenon and scared me a little. If anyone says they heard it too, I would be glad if you could respond.
If it was just in my house, it would be too scary ・ ・ ・

The last time I brought my stuff back from Hawaii by myself, I was charged a huge overage fee and it ended up being too heavy and not worth it.

Most of the contents are Hawaiian clothes, bags and souvenirs.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ！ Thank you very much ！.

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare.
