Ward Office Locations and Registration Information
Upon entering Japan, you must submit a document known as a “Notification of Moving-In” (“Tenyu-Todokede”) to your local municipal/ward office (“kuyakusho”) within 14 days of moving into your long term accommodation. By submitting this notification at your local ward office, you effectively become a registered citizen of that particular area. You will need to bring your residence card, or a certificate showing you have submitted an application for the residence card.
People who live around the area of the university live in Kita-ku and thus should complete this procedure at the Kita-ku Ward Office (“Kita-kuyakusho”).
