What's the most economical mobile phone family package?

My kids are clamoring for their own phones as they enter high school. I want to grant them phones for connectivity without going broke over monthly and hidden charges.

Just as a reference point, have a look at NTTdocomo's シェアパック / share pack plans. 30GB a month at ~ 22,500 yen going down to 5GB a month at ~ 6,500 yen (for families with 3-5 members). Here's the link: https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/charge/new_plan/bill_plan/packet/ If you can handle the Japanese you can do a payment simulation on their site, here: https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/charge/new_plan/simulation/index.html This post (in Japanese) compares docomo with IIJmio, with a family of 4 coming out at 6,400 yen a month.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
