From Jan. 13, The Japan Times is publishing a new column on the paper's Community page titled Hotline to Nagatacho, for which we will be soliciting reader submissions.
Submissions should address issues that affect your life in Japan or be in response to Japanese government policies that you don't agree with or wish to be changed. Please imagine that you are actually writing to a government official — be it a local school-board head or the prime minister himself — to bring attention to an important matter.
We will only consider submissions of between 500-700 words for publication and reserve the right to abridge and edit as deemed appropriate.
