Daily Life Consultation Service

We have a consultation service where foreign residents can ask about daily life problems.

" I would like to study Japanese but...", "What are the procedures regarding international marriage ?" etc.

At the SIC, our multilingual consultants (English, Tagalog and Chinese) provide support and advice for foreign residents living in Shimane. We also provide support for Japanese people in Japanese.
