So, this US military trash, offs a Japanese girl.

Takaichi goes and apologizes to the public while the regional commander doesn't even say sorry??? Wtf is u apologizing for???

So why are these patriotic MJGA netuyo clowns not going haywire now?

Just imagine, what if it was a Vietnamese/Chinese national instead smh. Food for thought.

Edit: This kinda feels like the time when sanseito got caught red handed for that NHI thing and nothing happening to them

There are parts of Chiba where you need to use the ETC to travel but for the most part it is fine. They had a great tourist year in 2025-26 because of the bears in mainland but it all died after the storms.
You can still visit Chiba with very little issue. Just had an amazing dinner for ¥9,000 that would have cost ¥30,000 any where else.
Visit Chiba.

Hey, this is more of a message in a bottle type of post. I'm wondering if any redditors in this sub are from Algeria. Just wanna ask how y'all are doing and if there are any Japan Algeria specific communities especially around Tokyo/Chiba.

I am a MEXT scholar living in Kyoto for 1.5 years, started my phd this April after finishing 1 year as a research student.

My husband lives in my homecountry and we are doing long distance marriage ever since I came here. He applied for a relative visiting visa after 6 months I came, and was rejected.

I am from Bangladesh and our passport is very weak, so rejection without explanation is a very common thing. And if you are rejected visa , you cannot apply for the next 6 month lol.

I applied CoE for him and I got it. I wanted to apply dependent visa for him but I found out if he comes here on a dependent visa, he has to live here for more than 3 months and cannot frequently go back to our country. (Apparently it will be red-flagged by immigration officer). My husband is a businessman and at this moment, he cannot live with me for more than 3 months to take care of his business.

Applying for a Relative Visa is an option but applying for it does not ensure visa acceptance where as chances are higher if he applies through dependent visa.

I've been flyning back and forth in every semester break, as much as I could, but I am afraid, with my academic pressure increasing day by day, it may not be an option for me anymore.

Can anybody give me any suggestions on which visa should we apply here?

Any help desk information or Visa agency information will also be appreciated.
