    Saturday afternoon class students wanted ！ ★ Japanese language school for children ★ Kinmon Gakuen

    🌸 Kinmon Gakuen's "Saturday After Class" New Start 🌸
    Kinmon Gakuen in San Francisco Japantown will start a new program "Saturday After Class" to provide a place where children can learn Japanese in a more natural and fun way. While the regular morning classes provide a solid foundation for learning, the afternoon hours are a special time to experience the "joy of using Japanese" through culture and fun.
    [January Course Outline]
    ■ Dates ： January 10, 2026 ～ Four times on January 31 （ Every Saturday ）
    ■ Time ： 1 pm ～ 3 pm
    ■ Target 5 years old ～ High School Students （ Age Mix Class ）
    ■ Tuition ： $ 200
    ■ Materials ： No textbooks required.
    A small additional fee may be charged for materials depending on the content of the activity.

    [Sample contents]
    ・ Seasonal crafts ・ Cultural activities
    ・ Hands-on learning incorporating traditional Japanese games, etc.
    ・ Natural Japanese practice through games and experiences and other activities that allow children to experience the Japanese language while having fun.

    [Registration]
    Closes when capacity is reached.
    If you wish to participate, please register using the form below.
    📌 Application Form
    https://pci.jotform.com/form/253155848170157

    The class features hands-on learning that does not rely on textbooks. Activities such as origami, seasonal crafts, and traditional games will be offered with a different theme each time. For example, students can learn about the four seasons and culture of Japan through origami and creative activities such as writing at the beginning of the New Year and playing "fukuwarai" (happy laugh) at New Year, and flower-themed origami and creative activities in the spring. What we value is a learning style that is "fun so you can continue". By using Japanese in play and creative activities, students accumulate a sense of accomplishment of "I did it ！", which leads to self-confidence. These experiences will encourage students to want to use Japanese outside of the classroom and make learning a part of their daily lives.

    The program is open to students from 5 years old to high school students, regardless of age or level. By working together with children of different ages, cooperation and social skills are naturally fostered. This program supports children's growth from many angles, enriching not only their ability to communicate in Japanese, but also their creativity and expression.

    This "Saturday After Class" is more than just language learning; it is a place to experience Japanese culture and have fun with their peers. We hope that families will be excited about this new initiative. Kinmon Gakuen will continue to devise ways to help children feel more familiar with the Japanese language, enjoy and love it more, and gain more confidence.

    If you have any questions, please contact us using the question form on the website.
    We look forward to seeing you all.

    30 year mortgage paid off in 6.7 years?

    （ True Story ） This couple was purchasing a $500,000 home and planned to borrow $400,000 with a 20% down payment at 6.5% annual interest. With this conventional mortgage, the principal and interest payments would be approximately $2,528 per month, and the interest paid over the term of the loan would be approximately $510,177.95. This is more than the amount borrowed. The couple's take-home monthly income totals $14,000, and their monthly expenses account for about 72% of their income.
    That leaves about 28%, or roughly $3,900 per month. So they adopted this new strategy instead of a traditional mortgage. Based on the couple's income and spending patterns, they are on pace to pay off their mortgage in just 6.7 years. For the all-in-one loan, $4,565 is available for principal repayment in the first month alone. This is a huge difference compared to the $361.60 for a conventional loan. Finally, the All-in-One loan can be paid off in 6.7 years, at which point the conventional loan still has a balance of $363,911.70. The result is an interest savings of approximately $388,000 compared to a conventional mortgage. *Figures will vary based on personal finances, the real estate market, and other factors.

    Why 5%-10% instead of 20% down payment is advantageous ？.

    Do you think you need a 20% down payment to buy a house ？
    but that's an old way of thinking, and in fact can cost you in the long run.
    Let me use a real-life example to illustrate. The property price is $800,000.
    A 20% down payment would be $160,000.

    [Scenario 1 ： 5% down payment]
    Down payment ： $40,000
    Estimated closing costs ： $18,000-$25,000
    Total cash required ： $60,000-$65,000
    Estimated Monthly PMI ： $300-400 per month
    Total PMI over 5 years ： $18,000-$24,000

    [Scenario 2 ： 10% down payment]
    Down payment ： $80,000
    Closing costs ： $18,000 to $25,000
    Total cash required ： $100,000 to $110,000
    Monthly PMI ： $200 to $250
    Total PMI for 5 years ： $12,000 to $15,000

    This is the most important point.
    You will pay PMI for several years, but
    you can leave $80,000 to $120,000 more on hand.

    Of course, the lower your down payment, the
    slightly higher your monthly payment may be.
    But compare that to giving up $80,000 to $120,000 on day one.
    PMI automatically comes off when the equity in the owner-occupied home reaches 20%.

    But once you have paid the down payment, you will not get it back.
    It can be used for emergency funds, renovations, investments,
    or household stability.
    Borrowing ratios （ DTI ） as long as the DTI allows,
    you don't have to fear PMI if your down payment is less than 20%.

    [🇺🇸 compares the current status of traffic fatalities in Japan and the U.S.

    Hello everyone, we are Sang Injury Law Firm and we are here to help you.
    I am Sang Injury Law Firm 🧑‍⚖️

    We are based in Las Vegas and provide support mainly for traffic accidents and personal injury cases.
    As we are involved in many traffic accident cases on a daily basis, we are often asked, "What are the differences in accident rates and trends between the U.S. and Japan ？?

    Today, based on the latest data, we would like to compare the current situation of traffic fatalities in the U.S. and Japan and talk about the challenges each country faces 🚗

    ⸻

    🇺🇸 Traffic Fatalities in the United States Accident Data and Background

    The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration （ NHTSA ） reported that 40,901 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2023.
    Preliminary figures for 2024 predict 39,345, down about 3.8% from the previous year, and below 40,000 for the first time since 2020.
    This represents the "11th consecutive quarterly" decline since the second quarter of 2022, and is a sign of improvement.

    However, NHTSA Chief Counsel Peter ・ Simshauser said.

    "It is encouraging that the number of fatalities is down, but it is still higher than it was a decade ago, and the U.S. traffic fatality rate is very high compared to other developed countries."

    The fatality rate per mile driven in 2024 （ per 100 million miles ） is 1.20, which is the lowest since 2019.
    Still, this is still above the average （ of 1.13 deaths ） in the 7 years prior to the pandemic.

    The main causes are
    🚗 speeding
    🍷 drinking ・ drug driving （ DUI ）
    📱 side driving
    🚫 not wearing a seat belt
    listed.
    NHTSA continues to increase enforcement against these dangerous drivers.

    ⸻

    🇯🇵 Japanese Traffic Fatalities Data and Characteristics

    Meanwhile, according to the Japanese National Police Agency, there were 2,663 traffic deaths in 2024.
    This is a decrease of 15 from the previous year and the third lowest record since the postwar （ 1948 ） period.
    Both the number of accidents ・ and the number of injuries continue to decline.

    Notable breakdown.
    Of the total number of fatalities,** the elderly aged 65 and over accounted for 56.8% （ 1,513 ） ** of the total, with many accidents occurring while walking.
    Japan has an aging population, with OECD data showing that the death rate for those over 75 is more than twice that of the general population.

    Also, in terms of the "number of deaths within 30 days," which is used for international comparisons, the number is 3,216 in 2022.
    It is important to note that even in one view of this number, the statistics differ between countries.


    ⸻

    📊 Comparison between Japan and the US in figures

    - Number of deaths per year -
    USA 🇺🇸 - 40,000
    Japan 🇯🇵 - 2,600
    - Number of deaths per 100,000 population
    USA🇺🇸 - 12,84
    Japan🇯🇵 - 2,6

    - Per mile driven （ 100 million miles ） -
    USA🇺🇸 - 1,20
    Japan🇯🇵 - 0,79 persons

    - per 10,000 registered vehicles
    USA🇺🇸 - 1,3 persons
    Japan🇯🇵 - 0,4 persons


    This table shows that the level of road safety in Japan is very high in the world.
    On the other hand, Japan has the highest level of traffic safety in the world. On the other hand, the death rate in the U.S. remains high, about 5 times higher than in other developed countries. This is a large number even when considering the population ratio （ to Japan, which is about three times that of Japan ）.
    While the country's size and dependence on automobiles are behind this, there are also underlying risk factors involved, such as differences in average speed ・ vehicle size ・ and law enforcement.

    ⸻


    🚦Future Issues and Outlook

    In the United States, the crackdown on dangerous driving and safety awareness campaigns are continuously intensified.
    Meanwhile, in Japan, the biggest challenge is to ensure the safety of elderly drivers ・ and pedestrians.

    In other words,
    • 🇺🇸 USA ： How to reduce the high overall fatality rate
    • 🇯🇵 Japan ： How to protect the elderly
    is the difference we see.

    ⸻

    💬 Summary

    Traffic fatalities remain a social issue in the US, although improvements are gradually being made.
    Japan maintains one of the highest safety standards in the world, but faces a new risk: an aging population.

    We must obey traffic rules, refrain from speeding, and wear seat belts.
    And remember to "drive with consideration" for pedestrians and the elderly.
    This is the first step to saving someone's life.

    My insurance policy, this will be fine ？ -An insurance and compensation story that you should know before you get into an accident.

    Hello, this is Sang Injury Law Firm.

    Among those living in the U.S.,
    "I have a car, but I honestly don't understand insurance …"
    There are probably a surprisingly large number of such people. ？

    Even for Japanese who have lived in the U.S. for a long time, the car insurance system is quite different from that in Japan, and it is not uncommon for them to regret "It was not supposed to be like this ！"** when they get in an accident.
    In this article, our Las Vegas-based, Japanese-speaking accident attorney firm will provide you with the basic knowledge of American insurance and compensation that you should know. 🧑‍⚖️


    😳 Even if you have insurance, it does not always mean that you are "fully covered" ？

    American auto insurance coverage varies greatly depending on the type of coverage.
    These two are especially easy for Japanese to overlook ：
    • UM/UIM （ Uninsured ・ Accident with underinsured party ）
    • Med Pay （ Medical Pay coverage ）

    There are a certain number of uninsured drivers in the US, and if the other party in an accident is underinsured, you risk being responsible for your own UM/UIM if you do not have your own.
    Also, emergency room and ER procedures are much more expensive than in Japan, and if you do not have Med Pay, you could be charged thousands to tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.


    ✅ Top 3 "pitfalls" that lawyers often see

    We receive such consultations on a daily basis ：

    ① "The other party was 100% at fault but the insurance
    ② "I have insurance, but the coverage was inadequate"
    ③ "I had pain after the accident, but I accepted the settlement early"

    These are all examples of problems caused by lack of understanding of insurance coverage or failure to retain an attorney. These are all examples of problems caused by a lack of understanding of the contents of the insurance policy or by not having a lawyer.


    📝 "Preparation" you can do before an accident will protect you in the future

    Before an accident occurs,
    • review your insurance （ Declaration Page ）
    Be aware of your coverage
    • In case of emergency, consult a lawyer as soon as possible

    Just by keeping these three things in mind, you will feel much more secure in the event of an emergency.


    🗣️ Japanese-language support for peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

    Our office is available in Japanese ・ English ・ Spanish ・ Korean.
    If you feel that "lawyers seem like a hurdle …," don't worry. Consultations are free of charge, and simple communication via e-mail is also acceptable.

    To protect yourself and your family, why don't you check your current insurance coverage with us ？
    Accidents can happen at any time ・ to anyone. That's why it's most important to be prepared in advance.

    [Why are there so many car accidents in the U.S.? 🇺🇸

    Hello, this is Sang Injury law Firm.

    Today, I would like to talk about the topic of why car accidents are so common in the United States.

    America is known as a car society and much of our daily lives depend on cars ⚠ ️
    However, the number of traffic accidents and fatalities are correspondingly very high, making it a serious problem among developed countries.
    Many factors, from the design of road infrastructure to the behavioral habits of drivers and cultural backgrounds, are involved in this complex situation.


    This article will explain in simple terms why traffic accidents and fatalities are so common in the United States, taking into account data and actual field experience.



    1️⃣ Strong car-dependent social structure

    Public transportation is not well developed in many American cities.
    Almost everything in daily life is designed "on the premise of using a car",
    • commuting
    • shopping
    • picking up and dropping off children
    • accessing medical facilities

    etc, Almost everything requires a car.

    The frequency of car use is high → and the probability of accidents is inevitably high
    .

    ⸻

    2️⃣ Road infrastructure is car-first and pedestrian ・ not bicycle-friendly

    In many parts of the US, wide roads ・ high speed limits ・ are designed to prioritize cars characterized by.
    • few crosswalks
    • right turns allowed （ Right Turn on Red ） many dangerous for pedestrians
    • sidewalks do not exist in many areas
    • bike lanes Many areas have no bike lanes

    This tends to result in many pedestrian and bicycle fatalities.

    ⸻

    3️⃣ Overspeeding （ Culture of Speeding ）

    The US has higher highway speed limits than Japan, with some states allowing 75 ～ 80 miles （ 120 ～ 128km/h ） is normal.
    In addition, the many wide, straight roads make it easy for drivers to become numb to the sensation of speed, making it easy to overspeed.

    Higher speeds also cause the fatality rate in the event of an accident to skyrocket.

    ⸻

    4️⃣ Smartphone Use While Driving （ Distracted Driving ）

    In recent years, the most common problem in America is "distracted driving".
    • Text messaging
    • Social networking sites
    • Operating navigation apps
    • Operating music apps

    Accidents caused by smartphones are becoming more common, especially among young people.

    NHTSA also warns annually of "distracted driving" as a leading cause of death.

    ⸻Distracted Driving⸻

    5️⃣Distracted Driving⸻

    Drunk driving remains a major problem in the US.
    • Bar culture is strong in the area
    • The culture of driving for hire is weak
    • Lack of public transportation makes driving "the only way to go"

    For this reason, This is why there is a spike in drunk driving during the holiday season, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

    ⸻

    6️⃣ Popularity of large vehicles （ SUVs ・ Pickup trucks ）

    The US has a very high ownership rate for large vehicles The U.S. is characterized by a very high rate of ownership of heavy-duty vehicles.

    SUV ・ Pickup trucks are heavier and more destructive in a collision, which can easily result in fatal injuries if the other party is a small car or pedestrian.

    ⸻11569>
    7️⃣ "Delayed treatment" due to medical costs and insurance systems also affect

    A certain number of people do not go to the hospital immediately after an accident, which is a characteristic of the US.
    • High medical costs are a concern
    • The insurance system is complicated and difficult to understand
    • Ambulance fees are high
    • There is a certain number of uninsured people

    This can cause minor injuries often deteriorate into serious injuries, which is said to be one of the factors pushing up the mortality rate.

    ⸻

    8️⃣ "Slow arrival of emergency services" in rural areas due to large land area

    In rural areas, population is sparsely distributed over a large area.
    • Ambulance arrival is slow
    • There are no hospitals nearby
    • helicopter transport is often required

    and fatality rates tend to increase.

    ⸻


    ❗ ️Conclusion ： Multiple factors intertwine to create a "US specific problem"

    Many traffic accidents in the US are • social structure （ car society ）
    • infrastructure
    • cultural factors （ speed ・ drinking ）
    • technology （ The proliferation of smartphones ）
    • The health care system

    and several other factors combine.


    There is no single cause behind the high number of traffic accidents in the United States, but rather a complex set of structural problems rooted in society as a whole. A social system in which mobility is central to daily life, a road infrastructure designed to give priority to cars, driver habits such as excessive speed and distracted driving, the prevalence of large vehicles, and the influence of the medical ・ insurance system all combine to contribute to the high number of accidents and fatalities. have led to high accident and fatality rates.
    In addition, slow emergency response in rural areas also drives up fatality rates, and there are large regional differences.

    In other words, the problem of traffic accidents in the United States is an inevitable risk created by the "car society" itself. In order to reduce accidents, it is necessary to address not only the awareness of individual drivers, but also society as a whole through infrastructure development, policies, and the use of technology.
    As each of us increases our safety awareness, as well as environmental and institutional improvements, this will finally lead to a reduction in accidents.

    The American Holiday Season is "Season of Accidents" ？ - Winter Traffic Risks and Countermeasures that Japanese Should Be Aware of

    Hello. I am Sang Injury Law Firm, assisting with car accident ・ personal injury cases in Las Vegas.

    November through January is the "holiday season" in the United States.
    Although there are more opportunities to get together with family and friends and the streets are full of life, this is actually the time of year when traffic accidents are more common than at any other time of the year.

    In this issue, we have compiled a list of the risks of traffic accidents during the holidays and what to do if you are involved in one, which we would like all Japanese living in the US to know.


    Ὠ Why do accidents increase during the holiday season ？

    According to the US Department of Transportation （ NHTSA ）,
    from late November to early January, drunk driving ・ excessive speed ・ > Fatigue due to long-distance driving is reported to increase sharply, and accident rates are reported to be much higher than normal.

    Particularly increasing factors include: ：

    ● ① Drunk driving spikes

    Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year are often parties involving alcohol
    Nighttime on the way home ・ Accidents are concentrated in the early morning

    ● ② Increased long distance travel

    Example ： California ⇄ Driving between Nevada

    Traffic to 1.5 to 2 times normal
    ● ③ Tourists ・ Unfamiliar roads

    Las Vegas and LA have so many outside tourists that
    sudden braking ・ sudden lane changes ・ more accidents due to misunderstanding of traffic rules


    💥 💥 Accident patterns that Japanese are likely to be involved in

    ✔ Rear-end collision by rental car
    Unfamiliar car ・ Distraction by navigation operation.

    ✔ Parking lot （ Mall ・ Rubbing accident at outlet ）
    Parking lot always full due to holiday shopping.
    "Which one has priority ？" rule is different from Japan in some cases.

    ✔ Accidents due to misunderstanding of "You can go ahead" at no signal intersection
    4-Way Stop which is unique to America is difficult for Japanese.


    📝 "Must do" in case of an accident

    During the busy holiday season, it can take a while for the police to arrive, so
    it is very important that you take action and leave evidence yourself. It is very important that you take your own steps to preserve evidence.

    ① Call 911 first （ Required ）
    Accidents not called in can result in insurance denial later.

    ② Leave photos and video on the spot
    - Entire vehicle
    - Number
    - Brake marks
    - Other driver's license and insurance card
    - Surrounding road conditions

    ③ Go to emergency Go （ Even if you think it is a minor injury, be sure to ）
    see a doctor that day, it will greatly affect the amount of compensation.

    ④ For further treatment, go to a specialized clinic
    Insurance ・ The claim system is different from that in Japan,
    "treatment → proof → negotiation → settlement".


    🇯🇵 Beware of a common Japanese misconception

    ❌ "The insurance company does it all ？"
    → America is a country where "those who have their own evidence are stronger".

    ❌ "You don't have to go because your symptoms are minor"
    → "If you don't go see the doctor that day, they will deny causation" and your compensation will be greatly reduced.

    ❌ "I am worried because I cannot speak Japanese at the hospital …"
    → Japanese interpreter ・ Referral clinic available.


    🧭 If you are in trouble, you can consult in Japanese

    During holidays, information can be confusing due to accident response.

    At Sang Injury Law Firm, we have Japanese speaking staff, multi-state, hospital information, treatment arrangement, negotiation with insurance companies, free consultation ・ and zero start fee
    .

    "I've been in an accident and don't know what to do"
    "I'm worried about hospitals, insurance, police English"

    Did you know that there are also many 'pedestrian ・ bicycle accidents' in the US ❓?

    Hello, this is Sang Injury Law Firm.

    This time I would like to talk about bicycle-vehicle accidents and pedestrian-vehicle accidents, which are frequently consulted by our firm.

    We often hear about accidents between cars, but in fact, in the United States, collisions with cars while walking or riding a bicycle are also very common.
    Especially in car-dominated states such as Nevada, California, and Texas, pedestrian ・ bicycle accidents cause many serious injuries and are an important topic for the Japanese community in the US.

    "I was just crossing the crosswalk …"
    "I was riding my bike to work and the door suddenly opened and I was hit"
    Such cases are actually not uncommon.

    In this article, we summarize the characteristics of pedestrian ・ bicycle accidents and points you should know if you are a victim in the U.S. in an easy-to-understand manner for Japanese living in the U.S.

    🏃‍ ♀ ️ The Realities of Pedestrian Accidents

    It is said that pedestrians are several times more likely to be involved in traffic accidents in the US than in Japan.
    Behind this are the following characteristics ：
    • Many collisions are caused by right-turning vehicles （ because many states have free right turns ）
    • Accident rates are higher at night （ some areas have poor lighting ） • Smart phone driving ・ Excessive speed is very common
    • Hit&Run （ Hit and run ） is far more common than in Japan

    In many cases, the car side is more responsible, but pedestrian side
    In some cases, the pedestrian side may also be at fault, depending on the circumstances.


    🚗 Bicycle accidents are not "light accidents"

    Collisions between bicycles and cars have a greater impact than one might imagine.
    Especially common are ：
    • "dooring accidents" where the bicyclist hits a car door just as it opens
    • side impact while riding on the road
    • low visibility at night due to no lights on

    In the U.S., bicycle accidents often result in emergency medical treatment and CT/MRI, and as a result, medical costs tend to be high.



    📝 Did you know that even victims can use "their own insurance" ？

    Pedestrians ・ This is a major point in bicycle accidents.

    👉 You can use Auto Insurance's UM/UIM even if you are not in a car

    UM/UIM is insurance for when you are hit by an uninsured ・ driver with insufficient insurance.
    Hit&Run is also covered in many cases, and is the part most often overlooked by Japanese.

    "What ？ I was just walking and I can use my own car insurance ？"
    → Yes, you can.
    Many people don't know this and lose money.



    💻 What to do if you have an accident in the US

    It is easy to panic immediately after an accident, but the following steps will help.
    1. call 911 （ be sure to ）
    2. get a police report （ Traffic Accident Report ）
    3. check the other driver's insurance information ・ license plate
    4. . go to the hospital even if the injury is minor
    5. photos ・ be sure to save damaged shoes, bicycle, etc.
    6. consult a specialist as soon as possible

    pedestrians ・ because bicycle accidents often result in a higher assessment of injuries because the body is exposed and treatment ・ characteristics that tend to make them an important case in terms of compensation.



    🇺🇸 Rules vary by state
    • California ： UM/UIM widely applied to pedestrians
    • Nevada ： Hit&Run is Many UM/UIM required
    • Texas ： Bicycle accidents are common and drivers are heavily rated as responsible
    • Oregon/Washington ： Bicycle culture is advanced and laws and regulations are detailed
    Knowing the traffic situation in your state of residence, such as
    will give you a chance to review your insurance coverage.



    ✍ ️ Summary ： There is safety to protect just by knowing

    Pedestrian ・ bicycle accidents are not uncommon in the US.
    Especially at night, right-turning cars, and Hit&Run are the most common points for Japanese living in the US to encounter.
    • Wear reflective gear at night
    • Bicycle lights ・ Helmets are essential
    • Make sure you have UM/UIM ・ Increase the amount
    • If you are involved in an accident, consult with a

    A little knowledge can make a big difference in your chances of protection.
