Other Warnings
1. Prohibited to possess drugs, etc.
It is a serious crime in Japan to possess, use and sell any type of drug, e.g., marijuana and
MDMA (ecstasy). Drug abuse will not only ruin your student life but possibly your entire life.
Drug abuse may cause such psychoneurotic disorders as hallucination, delusion, andabnormal behavior. It has a devastating impact on your personality. Please never have any
contact with prohibited drugs.

2. Cults
As you may have read in the newspapers, there are some cults who pretend to be friendly
sports or art clubs operating on or near our campus. They behave in a friendly manner andask you to join their “activities” without revealing what they really do. They wait for an
opportunity to take you to their office and gradually brainwash you. Once you join such cults,
you waste your precious time and may have to bear tremendous mental, physical andeconomic burden. Please be aware of such solicitation. When you realize that they are cultmembers, refuse them firmly and immediately inform the Academic/Student Affairs Office ofyour Faculty/Graduate School, the International Exchange Division of the International
Affairs Department, or the Student Support Division of the Student Affairs Department.

3. Traffic Accident Notification
Please obey traffic rules and try not to get into traffic accidents. If you do get into a traffic
accident, please notify the office of your Faculty/Graduate School as soon as possible.

Drinking under the age of twenty is prohibited in Japan. Incidents of acute alcohol poisoning inparticular are increasing. Make sure that you do not force others or yourself to drink excessive
amounts of alcohol.
5. Smoking
Smoking under the age of twenty is prohibited in Japan. At Kobe University, smoking is
prohibited on all campuses in order to provide a comfortable environment for education andresearch, improve the health of students and faculty members, and prevent illness. In addition,a Kobe City ordinance states that "citizens must try not to smoke on the street." Please refrainfrom smoking outside the university grounds or leaving cigarette butts (littering) so as not toinconvenience local residents and people walking along the surrounding roads.
վ Career Support / employment support
Alongside the University’s Career Center, each faculty and graduate school provides employment support
to our international students. The Center for Global Education offers Business Japanese classes as wellas preparation classes for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and the Business JapaneseProficiency Test (BJT). In addition, various events related to career education and job hunting are held,such as the "Global Job Fair," where students learn about prospective employment directly from Japanese
corporations, the "Global Career Seminar for International Students" that teaches students about job
hunting in Japan, and the "Joining the Workforce Seminar" for students who have already secured a job
and are about to embark on their career. The Global Nada Village Project at Hyogo International House(G-Navi) also provides students with various kinds of career development support.
The typical employment process for new graduates takes a while, so students will need to start their
preparations early. (e.g. For positions starting in spring 2025, the job hunt commences in spring 2023.) The
Kobe University Career Center and the Employment Support Centers offer various resources that students
are also free to use.

ճ Private Housing
To check for housing information on the Internet, visit the Kobe University Coop homepage:(https://www.kucoop.jp/room/index.html) or go directly to a real-estate agency nearby.
To rent a private apartment in Japan, one may have to first pay a security deposit and key money(2 to 3 months rent) in addition to the monthly rent. In Japan, a guarantor is usually required
when renting private housing. Kobe University does not serve as an institutional guarantor for
housing lease agreements. If it is necessary to have a guarantor for a lease contract, students
are required to use a private guarantor company specified by the real estate agencies, etc.

մ Glossary of Words used in regards to Renting an apartment(1) Security deposit (Shiki-kin)
SHIKI-KIN is a security deposit that you pay to the owner when you rent a room. If there is no particular
problem with the room and its usage, the deposit will be fully refunded when you move out. If you do not
pay your rent (either intentionally or due to negligence), or the room is damaged or defaced due to use
beyond the normal scope, the unpaid rent and repair costs will be deducted from the security deposit
based on the law. You will be charged extra if your deposit doesn’t cover the costs of repair or unpaid
rent, so please be careful when using the room and clean it on a daily basis.
(2) Key money (Rei-kin)
Rei-kin or “gratitude money” is the amount paid to the landlord when you first rent theapartment. It is usually equivalent to one or two months’ rent and will not be returned when
you vacate the apartment.
(3) Common-area charge (Kyoueki-hi)
Kyoueki-hi is a monthly payment for costs of electricity and cleaning of such common area
as the entrance and hallways of the apartment complex.
(4) Application fee (MOUSHIKOMI-KIN/AZUKARI-KIN)
MOUSHIKOMI-KIN and AZUKARI-KIN have the same meaning. This is the money you pay in advanceas part of the contract fee to indicate your intention to rent a room. If you cancel before the contract ismade, you can get a refund. However, this application fee will not be refunded if you cancel after thecontract is complete. If you are asked to pay part of the contract fee in advance, please make sure you
understand the meaning of this and how it relates to refunds before signing.
(5) Renewal fee (KOUSHIN-RYO)
A rental contract has a contract period. KOUSHIN-RYO is the renewal fee, which is the money thetenant pays to the owner when renewing the contract at the end of the contract period. Renewal fees do
not always occur. In addition, there are differences depending on the region; renewal fees are rarely
required in Hyogo Prefecture. However, you will have to pay if it is specified in the contract.
(6) Broker fee (CHUKAI-TESUU-RYO)
CHUKAI-TESUU-RYO is a commission paid to a real estate agent when renting a room through theintroduction of a real estate agent. It is usually one month's rent. (The upper limit of the broker fee isstipulated by law as one month's rent + consumption tax.)(7) Early termination fee (TANKI-KAIYAKU-IYAKU-KIN)"TANKI-KAIYAKU-IYAKU-KIN" is a penalty charged when you cancel (move out of) the room at shortterm. The definition of short term can vary from 6 months to 2 years. Although it is often not applied inmany rental contracts, it may be applied if the initial cost (key money, security deposit) is 0 yen or
extremely low. Please check carefully in advance.
(8) Guarantor (Rentai-Hoshonin)
In Japan, a guarantor is usually required to rent an apartment. If any events happen to thedebtor (=renter), the guarantor will bear a full responsibility instead of the debtor (=renter).
㸨Try at all costs to avoid causing problems for the guarantor.
(9) Advanced Deposit (Mae-yachin)
Mae-yachin is to pay the next month’s rent by the end of the previous month. A renter should
be aware that this mae-yachin (advanced deposit) system is adopted in most of theJapanese private housings. Therefore, the renter needs to inform the landlord of his/herleaving more than a month in advance, otherwise, he/she will be charged for the extra rent.

յ When Moving within Japan
When you move to a new residence, you must submit a Change-of-Address Notice to the person
in charge of your Faculty/Graduate School and the guarantor.
(1) Contact the Landlord
When you decide to leave an apartment or leave Japan, please inform the landlord 1.5 to
2 months prior to the moving date. If you delay, you may have to pay another month’s rent.
(2) Notification of Moving out/in

Tel (078) 360-8521
Office Hours: 9:00 – 12:00 , 13:00–16:00 Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri[Accident Insurance for Cars]
Car insurance is divided into compulsory insurance (required by law) and optional
insurance. Compulsory insurance only covers injuries and death of the other parties in
accidents caused by the insured. However this form of coverage is far from adequate.
Therefore it is strongly recommended that car owners buy optional insurance, which
provides full coverage against loss, injury due to accidents, and damage to vehicles etc.
This is particularly advisable because pedestrians have the priority in Japan, and theamount of financial compensation for accidents is extremely high. When buying or
receiving a motorcycle or a car, you should carefully consider taking out insurance andcarefully check the insurance policy.

[Mandatory Bike Insurance]
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of accidents involving bicycles
and pedestrians, in which cyclists are not only injured but also accused of causing
deaths and bodily harm to others. In some cases, cyclists are ordered to pay a large
sum of money in damages.
Hyogo prefecture has enforced the mandatory bicycle insurance law and all cyclists
are required to have liability insurance since October 2015.
Insurance can compensate death or injury of another person as well as the cyclist.
Those who use bicycles for commuting or in daily life should check the coverage of
their insurance, if any. If liability insurance is not included in your contract, pleasepurchase bicycle insurance.
If you have already bought Comprehensive Insurance for Students Lives Coupledwith "Gakkensai" for International Students, it is not necessary to purchase bicycle
insurance.

Cars and Bicycles
In order to prevent traffic accidents, drivers of cars and motorcycles must possess
driver’s licenses. Please note that even if you have a driver’s license from your homecountry, you are not allowed to drive in Japan unless you have a valid international or
Japanese driver’s license.
You may find bicycles left on the streets. However they are often parked temporarilyor left after they get stolen in a different place. Therefore please do not take them since
they are not yours.

Theft and Other Crimes (Call the police on the phone number 110)
Dial 110 in case of theft and other crimes.

Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur frequently in Japan. The Great Hanshin Earthquake (January 17,
1995) clearly demonstrated that earthquakes can cause considerable damage in a shortperiod of time. Earthquakes can happen at any time without any warning. You should
always be prepared, both mentally and materially, in order to keep damage to aminimum.
‫ە‬What to do if you feel shaking
࣭If you are at home, hide under a desk. Do not rush outside.
࣭Turn off all gas and cooking or heating appliances, which may be a fire hazard.
࣭If you are outside, stay away from concrete walls and other things that could fall.
‫ە‬What to do after the shaking stops
࣭Open doors or windows to create an escape path.
࣭Wear shoes so you don’t get hurt by broken glass.
࣭Turn on the TV or radio to get the information for aftershocks and tsunami.
࣭If your house looks like it might collapse or fire has broken out nearby, go to an
evacuation center. When you do so, bring your emergency supplies after closing thegas valve and turning off the electricity breaker.

Tsunamis
A tsunami is a tall wave that approaches the shore very quickly. Tsunamis are caused
when an earthquake happens in the ocean. You should turn on the TV or radio to checkfor emergency warnings, warnings, or advisory for tsunamis during an earthquake.
‫ە‬Be aware during your everyday life࣭Check a hazard map (http://www.hazardmap.pref.hyogo.jp/) (Japanese only)࣭Decide ahead of time where you will evacuate to if a tsunami occurs.
‫ە‬When you evacuate
࣭If you are near the ocean, run to a high place far from the ocean.
࣭A tsunami could occur even after a small earthquake.
࣭Tsunamis approach repeatedly, not just once.
࣭Don’t go near the ocean until the tsunami emergency warning, warning, or advisory
has been turned off.

Typhoons
Typhoons approach Japan from approximately June to October. When a typhooncomes, it brings strong rain and wind.
‫ە‬During a typhoon࣭Put potted plants, trash bins and other items that could be blown away inside.
࣭Close the curtains so that you won’t be injured if the windows break.
࣭Stay inside as much as possible.
࣭Pay particular attention to the weather forecast. If you are advised to evacuate, do so
immediately.

Heavy rains, Floods and Land-related disasters
During heavy rain, river banks can be flooded, and water can seep into homes. If you
are in a low-lying area where water could collect, escape to a higher place. Stay awayfrom rivers and streams. Heavy rain can also cause landslides. Check the hazard maps
made by Hyogo Prefecture or your city (http://www.hazardmap.pref.hyogo.jp/) (Japaneseonly).
