I extend my deepest sympathies to all those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Following the earthquake, our organization has been providing consultation to foreign residents living in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kanto region.
The situation remains chaotic in that area as well.
Our organization provides services for foreign residents and supporters living in the Tokyo metropolitan area and Kanto region.
We have created a collection of links to earthquake-related information. Please make use of them.
(An English version is also available.)
*We have mainly linked to sites that we believe to be highly reliable,
Please be sure to verify the accuracy of the information yourself before using it.
