Where should I setup a bank account in Ito?

"Expats considering retirement in Ito 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 in Ito. 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 long hours and high levels of dedication. Japan has a unique and rich culture, and expats should be respectful and willing to adapt to local customs and traditions. This includes understanding the importance of harmony in Japanese society, and the emphasis on group consensus rather than individual opinion. The climate in Ito is relatively mild, but expats should be prepared for the rainy season, which typically occurs in June and July. The city is also located in a region that is prone to earthquakes, so it's important to be prepared for natural disasters. Japan has strict immigration laws, and obtaining a visa can be a complex process. Expats should research the requirements for a retirement visa, which may include proving financial stability and having a sponsor in the country. Finally, expats should be aware that Japan has a high standard of living, with excellent public transportation, high-quality food, and a low crime rate. However, it can also be a challenging place to live due to language barriers and cultural differences," said a member in Japan.
