Shops & product availability
Stock, purchase limits, store-only items, and current sales conditions.
“Does this shop still have the blue model in stock?”
Service scope
Japanese phone calls and information checks
Focused, factual questions about a place or organization in Japan. I review every request before accepting it.
Workshops & cultural places
Visitor access, demonstrations, photography rules, and English support.
“Can visitors watch the craftsmen at work?”
Restaurants & local facilities
Opening details, ingredient questions, luggage policies, and practical access. For ingredients, I pass on what the restaurant says; it is not a safety guarantee.
“Can they store my luggage before check-in?”
Temples & shrines
Current visiting hours, events, reception rules, and photography conditions.
“Is photography allowed inside this hall?”
Japanese websites
What the current Japanese page actually says, including important fine print.
“The English page is different. Which one is current?”
Public information
General information published by city offices and public organizations. This is what the office publishes, not legal or immigration advice.
“Which documents does the city office say I need?”
Clear boundaries
