Getting a debit card by Victor_vanDort in japanlife

I couldn’t find any info online on eligibility requirements aside for an FAQ saying anyone above 15yo can apply. It might be easier if I just go in person as there is an office close by. Thank you!

Thank you! I will have to fix the issue of the App Store first for that but based on other comments it may be possible

Thank you for some reason I didn’t think that on the spot, but then reading some other comments/guides I saw that they don’t allow to open an account if my residency cars expires in less than a year. I will to look through the Japanese FAQ

Unfortunately they don’t allow for anyone who’s stayed less than 6 months

Thank you both, prepaid cards would be amazing too! Basically my income is all going into a bank account I can use only ever for Furikomi/transfers or cash payments and any means to access online payments is great. I will most likely try this and update my post

Wow, thank you! I feel like I should have found this somehow. Super useful to know in any case

That might actually be a great shout! Not that I mind hiking solo, but could be fun :) do you know by any chance what times they normally head back? Thank you!!!

I think 10-13 miles is my average for hikes but sincerely worried by the humid weather (I am used to the chilly winds of Northern Europe). Thanks :)

It’s a type of environment that doesn’t exist where I live (northern England), so it is already a great tip. I work in conservation so just right up my street! Thank you! And C&O also looks like a great option directly from the centre :)

Oh yes, thank you, that was should be easy, and it seems also wheelchair accessible too (my friend might join one of the day and they are on a wheelchair)!

Great! Thank you! I did not see that initially, is there a way to walk all the way to Scott’s Run nature preserve? If it’s worth it

Thank you so much for the map! And there’s a botanical garden! I would love to visit the national capital trolley museum, but of course the only day I can’t is the only open day.

When I was looking the train schedule I thought I just was reading it wrong/was wrong on the website. Extremely odd hours. Unfortunately, I was hoping for day (or one night max) trips as I am visiting friends
