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.

    This is an important topic and it would be great to have a how-to. But are you referring to the pension lump-sum withdrawal? I assisted a foreign resident leaving Japan, serving as his tax rep to send the remaining 20% of withheld tax. It takes a bit of effort and it was a while ago, so I don't remember the details.

    Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this, but as it's something I'll most likely be doing at some point I'll be eagerly following along to see if anyone else knows the process.

Entrance ceremony clothes

Soon my kid will have his entrance ceremony at school, and I'm looking for those typical Japanese style ceremony clothes for myself. I'm 1.80m, not so skinny woman, which has huge problems to even find normal clothes in Japan. Does anybody have the same problem and might have any advice, where to get those ceremony clothes in a taller size?

Places you recommend in your prefecture

Which places of scenic beauty, historic importance, and modernization do you recommend to visitors to your prefecture? I'm not asking for the "top 10" popularly promoted, but your reccos. Maybe places that visitors from abroad and foreign residents aren't aware of.
