Tokyo: official information for international residents
Use Tokyo Metropolitan Government resources for daily life, work, emergencies and multilingual consultation.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government publishes a resident information page for international residents with links covering procedures, housing, daily life, transportation, education, work, taxes, welfare, health, emergencies and consultations. Use the linked official resources to identify the responsible bureau or service.
Tokyo includes metropolitan, ward and municipal responsibilities. A metropolitan information page may direct you to a ward, city or national authority for the actual procedure. Confirm the responsible level of government before applying.
