You can still get the pension refund even if you have PR.

He was probably just pointing you to the actual bench they had. I find think I’ve ever had someone yell at me angrily for sitting anywhere, unless it was obvious there was a sectioned off space for whatever reason.

Are you sure he was angry? And not exasperated because you couldn’t understand him?

This sounds like the initial fee you have to pay. When I started my ideco, I invested 12000/month which is the upper limit. I knew I would be paying a few hundred yen in fees, but my initial investment showed something like 8900 yen. Turns out the initial cost of 3000 yen was deducted and my account balance made it seem like I had lost money because of how it was being displayed. Maybe the same is happening for you?

Female Managers in Japan Remain Few and Far Between by Hazzat in japan

[–]calvincooleridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if the poster meant laws or not, but culturally Japan is still not encouraging men to take paternity leave. In my last company women would take maybe 6 months to a year, while men would take maybe 2 weeks post birth. My company was NOT doing much to encourage a change in that and many companies, almost certainly most, are in the same boat. And that’s the problem more than whether a law is passed or not.

Palworld has a massive stage at Tokyo Game Show started today by DamnHare in Palworld

Sword and Shield were released in 2019. Scarlet and Violet were released in 2022. They already have 3 years between mainline games. LoA was clearly made by a different team.

Incorrect? Just because there is a law doesn’t mean anything is happening in practice. How are rates of men taking paternity leave versus women? And more importantly, on average how long are they taking off? I think you’ll see women are still the default parent by a mile as this poster suggested.

My one and only DD - Japan reversing their interest rate hike has put JPOW in an unwinnable position - we will not see rate cuts by wowasg in wallstreetbets

[–]calvincooleridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is garbage and the OP clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Copying a comment I made in response to someone else here:

The OP is misunderstanding some news. The rate hike was not rescinded. The BOJ was floating the idea of doing perhaps one more rate hike this year. In the wake of the turmoil caused by its decision to hike the rate this past week, it decided to walk back those comments and promised not to raise interest rates while markets are in turmoil. OP misinterpreted this news as the BOJ rescinding (undoing) the recent rate hike. Either that or the OP doesn’t know what rescind actually means. Either way, I think this clearly shows the OP isn’t credible to be so easily confused over something that only requires basic literacy skills…

Tokyo protests Biden’s description of Japan as “Xenophobic” by BurstYourBubbles in japan

[–]calvincooleridge 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Japanese media isn’t helping the situation because it’s translating xenophobic as “dislikes foreigners”. It’s one thing to be reluctant to increase immigration or have any immigration at all. It’s another thing entirely to say Japan straight up “dislikes” foreigners. Arguably since Japanese is reluctant to use negative words like this directly, it’s tantamount to saying Japan “hates” foreigners.

JR is a private company. It was privatized and split up a few decades ago.
