Here is an announcement for all foreigners living in Fukuoka. Do you know about Rainbow Plaza, located in the Tenjin IMS building on the 8^th floor? At Rainbow Plaza, staff, able to speak not only Japanese, but also English, Chinese and Korean, are present to offer all kinds of useful and important information to help with your daily life in Fukuoka.

Also, attorneys, clinical psychologists, administrative lawyers, called gyou-sei-sho-shi, doctors, and other specialists are available to provide advice to foreigners in Fukuoka, and consultation services are held regularly free of charge. Furthermore, if you register as a member, you can also make use of the message board to exchange information, as well as use the Internet and literature corners.

Rainbow Plaza is open from 10 AM to 8 PM.

Rainbow Plaza would also like to let you know that they offer free consultation regarding immigration, residency and citizenship for foreigners living in Fukuoka.

To maintain a safe and comfortable life in Japan, it is necessary for foreign residents to have correct knowledge about residency status and term of stay regulations. Do you have any concerns or anything you don't understand and would like to ask about? This is your chance!

A gyousei-shoshi, or administrative lawyer, from the Fukuoka Gyosei-shoshi Lawyers Association who specializes in such matters will answer your questions and offer consultation about topics such as the Japanese immigration system and residency status.

Consultations are held every second Sunday of the month. In April it is scheduled for the 14th from 1 to 4 PM. Please note you are required to register by 3:30 PM.

There are English and Chinese translators present, and so consultation in English, Chinese and Japanese does not require a reservation. For consultation in other languages, please contact Rainbow Plaza at least one week prior to your visit, as an interpreter might be arranged.

Also, please rest assured that your privacy is completely guaranteed. Ask any questions you may have, no matter how small you think your concern may be.
