On August 29, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan released a video on its official YouTube channel urging people to submit their “Tabiregi-Register” and “Notification of Residence” forms. It features actresses Hikari Ishida and Ai Moritaka.
Tabiregi-Register is a service that allows users to register their destinations for overseas travel and receive safety information from local embassies and consulates general via e-mail in Japanese. The service also provides warnings in the event of emergencies such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks.
In addition, if a person stays overseas for more than three months, he/she is required by law to submit a residence report, which is similarly used to distribute safety information by e-mail and to confirm the safety of the person.
