Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau
If you’re in Tokyo, you will be dealing with the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau office. This is place you go to pick up and deliver forms and get those all-important stamps in your passport. Unfortunately it’s in Shinagawa, not near the station, which is very inconvenient unless you actually live nearby. The Immigration Information Center inside the Bureau has a useful telephone help line though.
They have staff speaking a variety of languages. Every time I phoned, I got an English speaker, and of course they also have Korean, Chinese and several others. However, while the information staff tend to be multilingual, many of the people who actually process your forms speak Japanese only. If possible, take a Japanese speaker to help. It’s not essential though — I managed all right by myself, so it can’t be too hard.
If you’re not near Tokyo,you’ll have to find your own local Regional Immigration Bureau. The Ministry of Justice has a list of immigration offices throughout Japan.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Japan immigration policy is not fair. Some fool & quite mad staffs are
working in immigration. So crimes by foreigners rising in Japan. About
200,000 illegal foreigners living here due to japanese mismanagement
of immigration. I find some true businesspeoples from around the world
deported from Japan airport. Otherside some extreme criminals are here
doing every crimes due to lack of checking misconduct by immigration
officials. It is shame for Japan. I have evidence to challange corrupt

I post a comment previously informing your office about an entertainer his name is ALBERT BONGA about his identity and disguising as a GAY wherein in fact he is not a gay his a real man and had a girl friend name KAREN who is also an entertainer of same place (Tokyo) to prove this confiscate his cellphone and read his text messages to his girlfriend Karen, he post danger in your country and letting you know and believing that he is a GAY is like mocking your country and making you a laughing stock. But I think your office did not made any action about this because since he got a visa and he is now in Tokyo particularly with this address CLUB IMAGINE #4021 Komemachi Banchi, Ryugasaki City, Ibaragi Ken. Also, one of the entertainer at the given address her name is ELEONOR S MALLARI who entered in your country last November 28, 2008 and as you know she is a first timer since she is using her real name right now but believe it or not she is a timer in your country as a talent. As I know she was there first last 2001 and ended her contract sometime in the year 2006 using the name of ELAINE M MACAPAGAL it’s her cousin’s name she‘s fluent in Nihongo and even read Kanji. ELEONOR falsified her documents which she submitted in your Embassy in the Philippines and I believe it is a criminal offense in your country. And as divulge by her friends in the Philippines that she was planning to run away before the end of her stay in your country on May 28, 2009 and to stay with her friends in Japan whom married to Japanese. In addition, not knowing to Immigration Officers that 3 of 4 of her female talents staying at the 2nd floor of the Club as reported to me by one of their co-talents, that at about 5 am they leave their place meeting with costumers for sex and money and be back at around 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning which is prohibited as I know by Immigration. And sometimes when their Mama Sang and Sacho is not around they use their place as hotel letting their costumers to get in and same having sex for money. A new information which I received they change their strategy in meeting their customers, it seems that their mama sang and the arobaito’s have connivance. They are chaperoned by arobaito’s so as to confuse immigration officers and to think that they are with arobaito’s and will not meet customers for sex and money or worst boyfriend. And also they divided the group into three (3) so that immigration officers who are manning them do not know whom to follow, but I think your not doing your job well? And I advice you conduct STD test to them, I believe one of them has. Hoping for a favorable action and hope that this information helps you. Thank you.

Another of those Filipino crab mentallity. I hope Filipinos get a better chance in life so that they wont be biting each other like rabid dogs. Sick and tired of this things especially when I tried living once in the Philippines. I guess they’re really miserably poor that is why they wouldn’t mind selling their souls and their “kababayans” to others. May God have mercy on these people.
