Living in Nagoya
Application and Collection of Resident Tax (Jūminzei )住民税の課税・徴収について

Resident Tax (jūminzei / 住民税) is a regional tax, levied separatelyfrom income tax (shotokuzei / 所得税), which is a national tax.
Jūminzei is comprised of municipal tax (shiminzei / 市民税) andprefectural tax (kenminzei / 県民税) on a per capita levy (kintōwari /均等割) and income levy (shotokuwari / 所得割). Municipal andprefectural taxes on individual residents are levied and collected
together by the local government of the municipality in which one
resides.
Foreigners who have a domicile within Japan as of 1 January (basedate for assessment) must pay jūminzei based on their income for theprevious year to the municipality in which they were residing on 1
January.
In addition, an individual who owned an office, place of business, or
dwelling within a ward as at 1 January, yet was not a resident of thesame ward, will be subject to the per capita levy only.
Jūminzei is usually paid in four installments, in June, August, October,
and January of the following year, using the Tax Notice (nōzei
tsūchisho / 納税通知書) or Tax Payment Slip (nōfusho / 納付書) sent
by a municipal tax office.
In the case of salaried company employees, jūminzei is divided into
12 installments and withheld from one's monthly salary from June until
May of the following year, as per a notification from the City of
Nagoya.
Those currently living in Japan as of 1 January each year and who
had income during the previous year must prepare a resident tax
report (jūminzei no shinkokusho / 住民税の申告書) and submit it to
the municipal tax office with jurisdiction over the area in which they
live not later than 15 March of each year. If, however, your salary wasyour only source of income in the previous year and your employer
carried out a year-end adjustment (nenmatsu chōsei / 年末調整) on
your behalf, or if your declaration of total income was filed on yourfinal tax return (kakutei shinkoku / 確定申告) by 15 March, you are
not required to submit a resident tax report.
Please check your mail for your resident tax notice. For
more information on the contents of the Tax Notice inEnglish, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Portuguese,please see the City of Nagoya website via the QR code.

Be Prepared for Storm and Flood-related Disasters
風水害に備えようTyphoons (taifū / 台風), localized torrential rain (shūchū gōu / 集中豪雨) and tornadoes (tatsumaki / 竜巻) are examples of meteorologicalphenomena that often occur at this time of year that can cause storm
and flood-related disasters (fūsuigai / 風水害).
Don't wait until a typhoon approaches, heavy rain begins to fall, or you
are told to evacuate, to prepare. There are steps you can take in youreveryday life to help yourself to be prepared if an emergency situationarises, such as picking up something you might need in an emergency
when you go shopping. Resources such as flood hazard maps areavailable to help you find out the risks beforehand and prepare

Living Q & A: My employer asked for a medical certificate before I return to work after I had COVID-19
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「コロナ療養後、復帰するために診断書を要求された」

I had COVID-19, and was restricted from working, and have now recovered. Once the recuperation period was over, I
was told by the health center that I was able to work again. But when I asked my employer about returning to work, I
was asked to provide a medical certificate certifying that I didn't have COVID any more. Do I have to provide a medical
certificate?

When a person is infected with COVID-19, the health center (hokenjo / 保健所) will determine where the person should recuperate according to
the individual's condition. In addition, the individual is restricted from working (shūgyō seigen / 就業制限). An individual who has been restrictedfrom working due to being infected with COVID-19 is considered to have met the requirements for cancellation of the work restriction once they
have met the requirements for ending their period of recuperation (ryōyō kikan / 療養期間), whether they spent it in hospital, at anaccommodation facility, or at home.
Although it seems that you were notified by the health center that the restrictions on your working had been removed, these restrictions are
removed when medical personnel have confirmed the individual's condition. According to an administrative communication from the national
government dated 1 May 2020 (amended 31 January 2022), 'when resuming work at one's place of work, etc. following removal [of work
restrictions], submission of certification (e.g. certification of discharge by a medical facility / health center, certification of recuperation at anaccommodation facility or at home, a negative result of a PCR or qualitative antigen test kit, etc.) to the place of work, etc. is not required'. Thisis also considered to apply to the ending of the isolation period (taiki kikan / 待機期間) for people deemed close contacts (nōkō sesshoku-sha/ 濃厚接触者).

In order to obtain the understanding of your employer, it might be helpful to discuss the situation with your employer and ask that they contact thehealth center with jurisdiction and confirm the policy concerning removal of work restrictions. It seems that some health centers issue a document
certifying a patient's recuperation period. If your employer persists in requesting a medical certificate, please consult your nearest Labour
Standards Inspection Office (rōdō kijun kantokusho / 労働基準監督署). The Labour Bureau has also been notified by the Ministry of Health andWelfare regarding this issue, and should be aware that submission of certification is not required.
On the other hand, an employer has a responsibility to ensure the safety of its workers, and your employer may be requesting a medical
certificate in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. In this case, as the medical certificate is required for the employer tofulfill their obligation, the cost of obtaining a medical certificate should be borne by the employer. It should also be noted that, amid the demandon resources resulting from the high number of COVID-19 cases, the national government has asked that people refrain from making requests tohealth centers and medical facilities to issue certificates and other documents.

Read Place Names: Dōtoku

地名を読もう「道徳」

Travellers on the Meitetsu Tokoname Line who find themselves on a local (stopping-all-stations) train may
be surprised to find a station with the name Dōtoku (道徳).

道徳

dōtoku (morals).

Also found in 道徳教育 / dōtoku kyōiku (moral education), (非)道徳的 / (hi-) dōtoku-teki ([im-]moral; [un-] ethical)

From the name, one might assume a connection to religion or philosophy that has made outstanding virtue a pointof local pride. But the origin of the name can be traced to efforts to divert the flow of the Tempaku River in the 18th
century. A number of farmers displaced by the diversion were relocated to a section of reclaimed land known as
Okaechi Shinden (御替地新田, lit. replacement new rice field), which had been developed at the expense of the
Owari domain authorities.
When agricultural administrator Higuchi Yoshifuru (樋口好古) visited in 1812 and heard the history of the area's
development, he is said to have been moved by this exemplary realization of the Owari Tokugawa clan policy of theapplication of benevolence with moral principles (dōgi o motte toku o hodokosu / 道義を以って徳を施す). Borrowing
the characters 道 (dō) and 徳 (toku) from this phrase, the Okaechi Shinden was renamed Dōtoku Shinden (道徳新田).
Much of Dōtoku Shinden has now been renamed Toyoda (豊田, lit. plentiful rice field); the area now referred to as
Dōtoku, west of the Meitetsu Tokoname Line, is actually another section of reclaimed land once known as
Dōtoku-mae Shinden (道徳前新田) which adjoined Dōtoku Shinden.
Sold by the Tokugawa family in 1925, Dotoku-mae Shinden was developed as a residential area by the Nagoya
Wharf Warehouse Company. A number of leisure attractions were also developed, including Dōtoku Kannon-yama(道徳観音山), an 18-meter-high concrete mountain with a 2-meter statue of the bodhisattva Kannon enshrined on its
peak (later replaced with a 6-meter version), a waterfall and pool, and an ice-skating rink inside. Restaurants, cafes,
milk halls, geisha houses and a hot spring resort made the area one of Nagoya’s popular leisure spots in the earlyShowa period.
Dōtoku Park’s concrete whale fountain, dating from the park’s opening in 1927 and designated a National Tangible
Cultural Asset in 2021, is one of the few existing remnants of this period.

The Intricate, Fascinating World of Cloisonne Ware

「細密の世界で魅了した 七宝の美」

クリエーターズマーケット vol.46

Persons aged 18 and 19 are now legal adults
2022年4月1日から18・19歳も大人です。

Under an amendment to civil law, the age at which one is legally recognized as an adult was amended from 20 to 18 years old.
If you or a family member are 18 or 19, it's a good idea to check what 18- and 19-year-olds can and can't do as of 1 April 2022.

Things you can do from your 18th birthday
Make a contract to rent an apartment
Purchase a smartphone
Have a credit card issued (*You may not be issued a credit card after an assessment of your ability to repay.)
Take out a loan to make a purchase (*You may not be able to take out a loan if the repayments are assessed as
exceeding your ability to repay.)
Obtain a 10-year passport (if you have Japanese nationality)

Things you still can't do until you turn 20
Drink alcoholic beverages, smoke
Participate in government-controlled gambling (horse racing, cycle racing, boat racing, motorcycle racing)At 18 and 19 you are now able to make various kinds of contracts on your own, without the consent of a parent or guardian. However, as
you are no longer a minor, you are no longer able to rescind a contract made as a minor (a contract made by a minor without prior consent
from a guardian). It is up to you to decide whether to make a contract, and to bear responsibility for upholding the contract. It is therefore
important to make sure you acquire knowledge to avoid being taken advantage of as a consumer.
