well, that is what i am hoping for too, but you can never be too certain. as i think it is written now, in the proposal, it says that you shall report to the immigration authorities any changes. there is a sentence that this can be made though the municipals, but my interpretation so far is that this will only be an exception. and as you know, everything in japan has to be done in person or through a physical proxy.

and yes, i have been wrong on many occasions before. so you might be right in the end, that it can still be done at the local 市役所 or 区役所.
