This season is perfect for both indoor and outdoor events, which are held across the country. With the arrival of the sightseeing season and seasonal autumn foods, many people head to shopping centers and other attractions to make the most of this time of year.<\/p>\r\n

Featured Services at the Event<\/h2>\r\n

MobalPay<\/h3>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

M<\/strong>obalPay provides a prepaid card solution that doesn\u2019t require a Japanese bank account nor phone number, making it perfect for foreign residents in Japan.The MobalPay card is a prepaid card issued in Japan, available to any foreign resident with a residence card. It can be used for online, offline, and app-based payments. You can easily top up the card with cash at convenience stores, and use it up to the amount you\u2019ve loaded. Best of all, there\u2019s no credit check required for issuing the card, unlike a regular credit card.<\/p>\r\n

Mobal<\/h3>\r\n

M<\/strong>obal offers a range of services for foreigners staying in Japan for short, medium, or long-term periods, including data-only Japan SIM\/eSIM cards, Japan SIM\/eSIM cards with a Japanese phone number (070, 080, or 090), and pocket WiFi devices, all using Japanese mobile networks. Mobal provides a simple application process, specially designed for foreigners, with no complicated paperwork required. Our Japan SIM\/eSIM cards with a local Japanese phone number are very popular due to their simplicity, ease of application, and convenient pick-up options.<\/p>\r\n

W<\/strong>e also introduced a non-profit organization selling Malawi coffee, with 100% of the profits being donated to support local communities in Malawi.
WHCC, operated by the NPO Seibo, sells Malawi coffee online and at events. All profits from the sales of Malawi coffee are donated to Malawi, supporting initiatives such as school meal programs for children in one of the world\u2019s poorest countries.The Malawi coffee, made from beans grown at an altitude of 2,000 meters, is a high-quality coffee known for its authentic taste and excellent reputation.The operational costs of their activities are covered by the sales from MobalPay, Mobal, and other group companies under Mobell.<\/p>\r\n

The Impact of the Event<\/h2>\r\n

\"\"<\/h3>\r\n

At our booth, it was a pleasure to meet many of our users and hear your feedback firsthand. Right next to us, the NPO Seibo was offering samples of their delicious Malawi coffee. As you enjoyed the coffee, we were happy to share how much of our sales go towards supporting Malawi, helping you understand how your purchase is contributing to a meaningful cause.<\/p>\r\n

Why It Matters for Foreign Residents in Japan<\/h2>\r\n

Many foreigners who have just arrived in Japan face challenges due to the language barrier and unfamiliar cultural customs. Many of them, unable to speak Japanese, are forced to give up on many things. We aim to provide services that are simple, convenient, and available in English, to support these newcomers. Our mission is to help them integrate into life in Japan, while also continuing our support for children in Malawi, Africa. This remains our top priority.<\/p>\r\n
