Summary
Kawaguchi City near Tokyo will open Japan’s first municipal consultation desk staffed by an immigration official in July. The service will support both Japanese and foreign residents with issues related to daily life and living in Japan.

The city, where foreign residents account for about 9 percent of the population, says the new system aims to improve cooperation with government agencies and provide smoother support, not stricter control of foreigners.
