A comprehensive guide to getting notarized documents in Japan is at: http://www.katuyo.com/ Naturally, if you are later submitting the notarized document to a non-Japanese literate organization, you may then need to get the notarization translated and certified. Countless translation agencies can provide this service for you in Japan and the US.
2 :
An out of state/country acknowledgment for a New York power of attorney should look similar to this: [Name of state, territory, possession, or foreign country] County of [name of county] § On [date of acknowledgment], before me, the undersigned, personally appeared [name of person acknowledging instru-ment], personally known to me or proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the individual whose name is subscribed to the within instrument, and acknowledged to me that [he/she] executed the same in [his/her] capacity, and that by [his/her] signature on the instrument, the individual, or the person upon behalf of which the individual acted, executed the instrument. ____________________________ [Name of notary public] Notary Public My [commission/term of office] expires on: [date of expiration]. [Seal, if any]

I live in Japan, and I just got a driver's license. Where can I purchase one of those "wakaba marks"?
I mean the green leaf that first-year drivers need to post on their cars.

You can get them at any car shop like Autobacs. You can also get them at most 100 Yen Stores.
2 :
You can get it in the home-center like Sakumoto and Meikuman! And I think you can get it in 100 yen shop too.
3 :
Try to drop in any auto-dealer like Toyota or Nissan near you and ask some price quotation of your favorite vehicle there and free gift of (second hand or anyway) Wakaba mark. They will be pleased to give you the mark as respect for potential client.
4 :
Why do you need one?

The grass is always greener on the other side. I was transferred to Japan in 2003 by my company. If there was one job that I would stop and drop from my current career for it would be firefighter. To be honest, you will have a better long term career as a firefighter in the US versus any short term job in Japan. Work as a public servant such as police and fire is pretty much a long shot if you are not born and educated in Japan.
2 :
You need to find a job to get a visa for Japan. But job experience of firefighter in US is not appreciated in Japan at all. And you also need 4 year degree to get a visa. You have to get 4 year degree first of all.
3 :
Sorry, no. In most cases you need a four year degree.You can't move there without a visa of some kind. To get a work visa you need a job offer before you get there.The employer has to sponsor the employee. Sorry,but being a firefighter here won't help you there.You would need native level Japanese to be a firefighter there.And that kind of job will always go to a native Japanese first. Sorry, but now is not a good time to move to Japan.Their unemployment is the highest it's been since 1945.Outside of teaching English, there are few jobs available for Americans.

If you're lucky enough to fall in love with a Japanese citizen, you can move here and live with a Spouse of a Japanese National Visa. Good for 3 years at a time, and you get all the rights and privileges (except for voting) as a Japanese citizen, meaning you can work without needed a four year degree, if you can find someone who'll hire you. Are you fluent in Japanese? If not, plan on being an English teacher somewhere. You're only other route would be in one of the Three "K" jobs- kiken, kitanai, kitsui (or 3 D's in English-dangerous, dirty, difficult).

Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture is gorgeous.. awesome Nagara River and close to famous hot spring place, Gero. It is such a quiet and fun city.. You could have the best of both worlds. There is countryside close by to the city.. it is surrounded by mountains.. there are enough foreigners there.. I used to work at Sunnyside International School.. check for their website.. The owner, Mr. Watanabe is great! Look into it. :)

Okinawa. Its more calmed than in Tokyo and other big areas. There are awesome natural beaches, mountains and fields. Also if you're American there's the Kadena city where there are a lot of stuff for you to do there! Besides most japanese people in Kadena speak understandable English. The thing is that there aren't many job opportunities there, since it's away from the rest of Japan. My second choice would be Gunma. The mountains, the springs... it's awesome to wake up in the morning and realize how beautiful Japan is. And Tokyo is not that bad. If you don't like the city, maybe Saitama would be a nice place for you, you could take the train to Tokyo and be there in like an hour. Saitama is a nice region, mostly with fields and has an awesome view of the Mt. Fuji in winter.

I recommend Nagoya. It's a big city and at the same time it is near the nature. You can find your job in the city and you spend a time enjoying to play in the nature in every weekend. Nagoya is located the center of Japan, then you can trip to Kyoto, Osaka or Tokyo easily.
