Last week, I researched about the general issues about foreign workers in Hamamatsu. In the article, author said that the resolution by the officials was only “On The Surface” solution.
This week, I looked over the website of Hamamatsu official. There are various kinds of websites for foreigner. At first, there are the sites for foreign residents in English, Portuguese and easy Japanese. They are made only for foreign residents, so there are a lot of methods that they have to do to live in Hamamatsu. Second, there are the sites for visitors in English, Chinese and Korean. There is the introduction of Hamamatsu like famous place and festival. Finally, there are the sites used Web Page Translation in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Tagalog. These sites are only thing that general official website in Japanese are translated into other languages used some systems, so there are some strange translation. However, I think that there are few places that have such various kinds of websites for foreigner, like Hamamatsu.
Of course, the general knowledge about foreign workers that Japanese have is not enough compared with other countries, but in Japan, I think that Hamamatsu may be one of the best cities that foreign workers live in.
