Key Points

  • • Iwamizawa Pension Office moves to a new location starting January 12, 2027
  • • Ueno Pension Office also relocates and reopens on January 12, 2027
  • • Official PDFs from the Japan Pension Service list the new addresses for each office

The Japan Pension Service has announced that two of its branch offices will relocate early next year. According to the agency's official notices, the Iwamizawa Pension Office will begin operations at a new location starting Tuesday, January 12, 2027 [1]. The Ueno Pension Office will also move to a new address and resume business on the same day, Tuesday, January 12, 2027 [2].

Both notices were updated on October 1, 2026, and each includes a PDF document specifying the new office location [1][2]. The Japan Pension Service directed the public to these PDF files for the exact addresses of the relocated offices, noting the Iwamizawa document is 357KB and the Ueno document is 560KB [1][2].

The sources do not specify whether the offices will be closed for a transition period before reopening, nor do they provide details on the exact new addresses, phone numbers, or transportation access, so applicants should consult the linked official PDFs for that information [1][2].

The notices do not indicate any changes to the services offered, operating hours, or procedures at either office beyond the location itself [1][2]. Residents who have appointments, mailed correspondence, or ongoing cases with either office are encouraged to verify the new address well in advance of the January 2027 move to avoid confusion or delays [1][2].

Those who are uncertain about which office serves their area, or who need to confirm details not covered in these announcements, should check the official Japan Pension Service website or contact the offices directly before the relocation date.
