Bulletins

As part of their role as service providers, municipal bodies also provide information through regular bulletins. These bulletins are distributed via the local chonaikai ( >> Local Neighbourhood Association ). However, these bulletins are in Japanese only, so if you cannot read Japanese it is a good idea to ask someone to let you know the important information.

The Iwate International Association ( >> Iwate International Association ) publishes an English language newsletter. Some municipal international associations may also publish foreign language newsletter. If you are a foreign national, they can be delivered to you for free, so please subscribe. Suggestions for articles are also very welcome.
