Where should I setup a bank account in Nara?

We asked expats in Nara what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Nara should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and healthcare. They should also know that Japan has a national healthcare system, but private insurance is also available. Understanding the language is crucial as English is not widely spoken in Nara, so learning Japanese would be beneficial. The city is known for its rich history and cultural heritage, offering numerous temples, shrines, and parks for retirees to explore. Public transportation in Nara is reliable and efficient, but it may take some time to get used to the system. The climate in Nara is temperate, with four distinct seasons, including hot, humid summers and cold winters. Japanese cuisine is a highlight of living in Nara, but those with specific dietary needs or restrictions may need to cook at home more often as Japanese restaurants typically do not cater to these needs. Retirees should also be aware that Japan has strict rules regarding visas and residency permits, so it's important to ensure all paperwork is in order before making the move. Finally, Japan is known for its safety and low crime rates, but it's still important for expats to take standard precautions and respect local customs and laws," wrote a member who made the move to Nara, Japan.
