Where should I setup a bank account in Enoshima?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Enoshima what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Enoshima, should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and healthcare. They should also know that Japan has a national healthcare system, but it may not cover all medical needs, so additional private insurance might be necessary. Understanding and speaking Japanese is crucial for daily life, as English is not widely spoken, especially among the older population. Expats should also be prepared for a different work culture if they plan to work during retirement, as Japanese work culture is known for its high levels of dedication and long hours. Japan has a unique and rich culture, and expats should be prepared to respect and adapt to local customs and traditions. This includes understanding the importance of harmony in Japanese society, the role of hierarchy, and the value placed on politeness and respect. The climate in Enoshima is temperate, with four distinct seasons, including hot, humid summers and cold winters. Expats should also be aware that Japan is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons. Japan's public transportation system is highly efficient and reliable, but driving can be a challenge due to the language barrier and different rules of the road. Finally, expats should know that while Japan is generally safe, they should still take standard precautions to protect their personal safety and belongings," said another expat in Enoshima, Japan.
