International and Multilingual Life in Hamamatsucho

Direct Tokyo Monorail service to all Haneda Airport passenger terminals is a significant advantage for foreign residents and business travelers who make frequent international trips. The surrounding district contains international companies, hotels and meeting facilities, while the World Trade Center redevelopment is intended to strengthen its international business and MICE role. Minato City Hall in Shiba-koen 1-chome is also within the wider Hamamatsucho walking area. Its foreign-resident consultation service operates on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Listed languages include English, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, Tagalog, Nepali, Hindi, French, Vietnamese, Portuguese and Russian, with remote interpretation used for some languages. Minato City also operates multilingual three-way calling and publishes administrative information in multiple languages and Easy Japanese. Private landlords, banks and medical providers do not necessarily offer the same language support, so individual arrangements should still be verified.
