Kuwana City, Mie: Concierge Service for Foreign Residents Opened in Kuwana City Hall

Various initiatives launched in aims of becoming a “Foreigner-Friendly City”

Beginning mid-June, Kuwana City started a “Concierge Service for Foreign Residents” providing support, such as daily life consultations, in multiple languages. This will be the first step toward reaching our goal of becoming a “Foreigner-Friendly City” by mitigating the difficulties for non-Japanese speakers to conduct administrative procedures and receive services.
