After a wonderful and happy class on Monday, and Tuesday, this day we have an outdoor activity, make the Gaikoku Jin Torokusho (Alien Registration Card - why Alien ???). This card is an identity card for them who willing to stay on Japan more than 3 Months, and because all of us in this program will stay more than 3 months, we make this Alien Registration Card. Before to Toyota Shi Admninistration office, there's something that we have to prepare first :
  • Passport
  • Self portrait photo with size 3,5 x 4,5 cm, 2 pcs.
We have to prepare it before we go. The most strange things to prepare is the self portrait photo, the size is uncommon for Indonesian People, usually in Indonesia the size is 3x4cm, but this size is common in Japan, for the photobox machine (machine which we can take our photo inside and get the result instantly) this size included in the option of size. I have bring my 3x4 photo from Indonesia, so I did not need to take a photo again.

Before we go, all of us gather at the 2nd Floor, and receive explanation from the man who responsible of our class program in AOTS, he is Mr. Shin Tanabe. This is the first time we meet him, he's an interesting and full responsible man. In that time we get explanation of the form needed for apply the Alien Registration Card. And to make the process faster, we fill the form in that time. This is the form, and my friends.

After we finish fill the form, we're heading to Toyota City Administration Office, located in Toyota City. We go from Kaizu Station, using train to Toyota Shi Station, it cost 220 Yen and takes about 15 mins. After we arrive at Toyota Shi station, we walk about 10 minutes until we arrive at Toyota City Administration Office. It was a big administration office, and well arranged, we went to Alien Registration Card area. All of the service there have a notable sign, and even we're for the first time going there, it wasn't difficult to find the location. After waiting for my turn, i went to the desk, gave my documents, and wait for the passport give back to me. After waiting we got our passport back, and also a receipt that stated that we have made the Alien Registration Card. We have to back to this office on July 7th, to take the Alien Registration Card (its about 20 workingdays). Here's some screen shoot of the Toyota City Administration Office.
