Where should I setup a bank account in Kamogawa?

"Expats planning to retire in Kamogawa, 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 private health insurance is also available. Understanding and speaking Japanese is crucial for daily life, as English is not widely spoken in Kamogawa. It's also important to understand the local customs and etiquette, as Japanese culture is deeply rooted in respect and tradition. Japan has a four-season climate, and Kamogawa, located in Chiba Prefecture, experiences mild winters and hot, humid summers. The city is known for its beautiful beaches and natural scenery, offering a peaceful environment for retirees. Expats should also be aware of Japan's strict immigration laws. To retire in Japan, one must have a visa, and these are not typically granted for retirement purposes. However, there are other types of long-term visas that may be applicable. It's also important to understand the tax implications of retiring in Japan. Japan has a worldwide taxation system, which means that residents could be taxed on their global income. Finally, expats should know that Japan is known for its safety and low crime rates, making it a secure place to retire. However, it is also prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, so it's important to be prepared for these potential risks," wrote a member who made the move to Kamogawa, Japan.
