March ①Make the most of life with your dog! ②We are all residents of Naka Ward, Yokohama’s multicultural community!

We help people fill out application forms, etc., provide interpretation at various counters in the office, and show those visiting the ward office where they can get the advice they need.

We are involved in planning content for Naka Ward Town News, allowing us to reflect in the newsletter the issues we hear about from non-Japanese residents in the course of our daily work and the information they require.

We translate and check documents and sample application forms prepared by each department of the ward office.

Naka International Lounge has English- and Chinese-speaking staff on hand to provide non-Japanese residents with information on daily life and consultation services in many languages.
We also offer Japanese language classes and study counseling.

Naka International Lounge serves as a bridge to encourage non-Japanese residents participating in Japanese language classes and other activities to get involved in community cleanup activities, flower planting, and other local events.

We dispatch multicultural volunteers to local communities to promote exchanges between non-Japanese residents and Japanese residents and communities.
Volunteers work as interpreters and translators, assist in the organization of international exchange events, support Japanese language study programs, and provide study support for young people with overseas roots.

We are looking for volunteers!
Would you like to participate in volunteer activities to support non-Japanese residents by using your language skills, etc., or to cooperate in multicultural events? People of all nationalities are welcome. If you are interested, please contact Naka International Lounge!

A place for young people of all ages with overseas roots, from elementary school to university. In order to help young people with cross-cultural backgrounds or who are experiencing difficulties or worries to expand their future potential, we provide training, hands-on activities and learning support, as well as expressive activities such as film production.

The core members of this group are graduates of a learning support class for junior high school students. They are involved in a wide range of activities that contribute to the local community, such as planning and managing Rainbow Space and using their language skills to interpret and translate materials for the benefit of others.
