Field notes
The resident-tax tool organizes tax years and payment dates, then calculates a remaining balance from an official notice; the moving checklist is described as saveable in the browser and printable. Other listed tasks include converting Japanese eras, turning postal codes into Japanese and English address labels, and estimating pension lump-sum refunds. The page says tools based on official figures link sources and last-checked dates, though those references are not present in this extraction.
