Foreign residents in Hokkaido can get free help with everyday questions at Kyogoku Community Hall on Sunday 29 November 2026, from 11am to 3pm.

The Hokkaido Foreign Residents Consultation Center will offer advice on health insurance, pensions, driving licences and work issues. Niseko Town’s announcement, published on 13 November, gives the venue as 160 Kyogoku, Kyogoku-cho, and says general consultations do not need advance registration.

There is a separate booking requirement for speaking with officials from the Sapporo Regional Immigration Bureau. According to the organiser’s event page, residents seeking help with matters such as residence status, re-entry permits or permanent residence should reserve by Wednesday 25 November.

Use the reservation link on the organiser’s page if you need an immigration consultation. The event is free, and the centre’s staff can help with a range of practical questions about life in Hokkaido.
