Living in Aoyama-itchome as a Foreign Resident

Minato City provides everyday-life consultation services for foreign residents and other foreign nationals active in the city. Information current in 2026 states that consultations are available at the city office or by telephone on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition to English, interpreting is available for languages including Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese and French. Aoyama-itchome's three subway lines make districts with large international business and foreign-resident populations, such as Roppongi, Akasaka, Omotesando and Shibuya, easy to reach. Housing applications should be assessed property by property, as landlords and guarantor companies may examine residence status, employment, income documentation and other conditions. For questions involving local procedures, waste collection, disaster preparedness or childcare, Minato City's multilingual information is a reliable first reference.
