Japan Profile
Capital: Tokyo
Currency: Japanese Yen.
Language: Official language is Japanese. Service industry staff such as those working in hotels, restaurants, and stations are often able to speak some basic English. However, the general population rarely uses English.
Population: 126 million (as of March 2021), with a population density that is the second highest in the world, at 7.5 times the average global density. The aging of the Japanese society is a serious issue, and Japan ranks first in the world with a life expectancy of 83.4 years per capita.
Geography:
- Japan is an East Asian country located northeast of mainland China, east of the Korean Peninsula, and south of Siberia.
- Consisting of thousands of islands that form an arc-shaped chain, it is completely surrounded by the sea and does not have any land connection with any other country.
- Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen frequently in this country as it is located at the intersection of four tectonic plates. Among all the earthquakes in the world, approximately 20% of them occur in Japan's vicinity.
- The time zone in Japan is UTC+9.
Climatic feature: Japan features a temperate maritime climate with distinct difference in temperature between the four seasons. March to April when the cherry blossoms, and October to November when the leaves turn to red, is the best time to take a Japan tour.
Transportation:
1. It is convenient to reach Japan from any corner of the world. Currently, Japan has international flights to over 150 cities worldwide. A direct flight from Japan to China takes only 2 - 4 hours. Therefore a Japan and China tour is a perfect choice for those who want to explore both countries.
2. For domestic transportation, Japan has a well-developed transportation system with various travel modes. The best way to move around cities is by Shinkansen or JR railways, while urban transportation is mainly served by metros and public buses.Best things to do in Japan:

0ReplyReplyWhere in Tokyo do I process my documents for my Work Permit Notification? At the Chinese Embassy in Azabu? At the Consulate in Takanawa? Another location?
00Reply00ReplyReply00ReplyReply00ReplyYou should be given a receipt after submitting the requirements, which tells the time to collect the visa. Do you have it?
00ReplyAnd I received a call from the visa center once in May 25th to say they still haven't received anything from the embassy yet. And since then no contact and it's very hard to get through to the Chinese visa center in Tokyo. Although in their website they have updated that I can get my passport back in May29th, but when I visited them they said(Visa center) they still haven't received any response from the embassy yet again.
I would like to recall for my passport as it's already nearing 2 months since submission for this July 11th. And I'm very disappointed in the services I have received so far, as this caused an impact at my workplace, as I had to cancel on the overseas trip and it's frustrating not being able to connect through to any related officials and not knowing what's happening and what's causing the delay.
I would be very grateful if you can guide me to know about the progression and how to get my official documents(passport etc) back?
