Foreign residents in the city are members of our local community. We have therefore developed a basic policy in relation to the city's international residents, to help mutual understanding of cultures and customs, as well as to promote co-existence in concert and respect, thereby aiming to provide quality policies for foreign residents and create harmonious multi-cultural society.
Differences in language, customs, social systems, etc. may cause difficulties or inconveniences in the daily life of international residents.
