💸 Japan Is About To Give ¥20,000 To Everyone – Including Foreigners Living There,But some do not like it

If you’re living in Japan right now, we’ve got some very good news.

The Japanese government is officially planning to give away free money to help people with the rising cost of living – and yep, foreigners are getting it too.

🤑 So, what’s the deal?

Every single resident in Japan – no matter your nationality – is set to receive ¥20,000 in cash from the government.

That’s right. You don’t need to be Japanese. You don’t need to be a voter. If you live here legally, you’re in.

And if you’ve got kids or you’re on a low income? You could be getting ¥40,000. Yes, seriously.

💁‍♂️ Why is Japan doing this?

Japan’s been dealing with some nasty inflation recently – groceries, gas, rice… you name it, it’s gone up in price.

So, to give people a break (and maybe win a few votes along the way 👀), the government’s decided to spread some cash around before the next election.

🇯🇵 Who’s eligible?

If you live in Japan and you’re registered with your local city office (that means you’ve got a residence card and all that sorted), you’re good to go.

Foreigners, students, factory workers, teachers, interns – doesn’t matter. You’re getting paid.

🏦 How do you get your money?

Japan’s keeping it simple:

If your My Number ID is already linked to your bank account, the cash will just land in your account.
Not linked? Don’t panic. Local city halls will tell you how to apply or collect it manually.

You’ll most likely see the money before March 2026, but exact dates will depend on your local city.

😤 Not everyone’s happy though…

Some Japanese taxpayers are fuming about the idea.

They say it’s unfair that everyone, including foreigners and part-time workers, are getting the same amount – even if they haven’t paid much (or any) tax.

There’s been a bit of online rage too, with people calling it a “cheap political bribe” before the election.

But hey, we don’t make the rules – we just enjoy the free money 😎

🎉 Bottom line?

If you’re a foreigner living in Japan, this is your sign to:

Update your My Number details
Keep an eye on your local city website
And get ready to cash in when the handout drops

This doesn’t happen often – so don’t miss out!

Why Japanese People Don’t Love Electric Cars Like Europeans Do?

If you’re a foreigner living in Japan, you may have wondered:

“Why don’t Japanese people drive electric cars (EVs) as much as in Europe or other countries?”

That’s a smart question — and the answer is not just about technology, but also about culture, lifestyle, and even natural disasters.

Let’s break it down 👇

1. 🚗 Japan Already Loves Hybrid Cars

Japan is the home of hybrid cars like the famous Toyota Prius. These cars use both gasoline and electric power — and they’ve been around for over 20 years.

Japanese drivers trust hybrids and believe they are already eco-friendly.
Many people feel, “Why switch to a full electric car when my hybrid works just fine?”

2. 🏠 People Don’t Drive Long Distances

Most people in Japan use their cars for short trips — to the station, supermarket, or daycare.

Japan has great trains and buses, so many people don’t need a car every day.
Small cars like kei cars are cheap, fuel-efficient, and easy to park — perfect for Japanese cities.

So full EVs feel like more than they need.

3. ⚡ Charging Is Still a Problem

Electric car charging stations are not everywhere in Japan.

Many people live in apartments (called “mansions”) with no space to charge a car.
Public charging stations are growing, but not as fast as in Europe.

🛢️ 1. Check Your Oil – It’s the Car’s Blood!

Oil keeps your engine running smoothly. But over time, it gets dirty and loses its power.

What to do:

Open the hood and pull out the oil dipstick.
Wipe it, put it back, then pull it out again to check the level and color.
If the oil is too low or black and dirty, it’s time to change it.
Do this check once every 2–4 weeks.

🛠️ Bonus Tip: Even if you don’t drive much, oil still ages. Change it every 6 months or 5,000–7,000 km.

🚨 How Donald Trump’s Tariff War Is Shaking Up Japan’s Car Industry – And What It Means for You

By Hiroshima Cars News Team

If you’re working in a car factory in Japan or love driving Japanese cars, here’s something you should keep an eye on: Donald Trump is back in the headlines—and this time, his tough stance on trade could hit Japan’s auto industry harder than ever.

So what’s going on, and why should you care? Let’s break it down.

Why Did Trump Go After Japanese Cars?

Back when Donald Trump was president (2016–2020), he believed that the U.S. was losing in global trade—especially with countries like China, Germany, and yes, Japan. He claimed Japan was sending too many cars to the U.S., while American car companies struggled to sell their vehicles in Japan.
