🇯🇵 Japanese Alphabet කියන්නේ alphabet එකක් නෙමෙයි
ජපන් භාෂාව ලියන්නේ Hiragana, Katakana සහ Kanji කියන ලියන ක්‍රම 3කින්. මුලින්ම චීනයෙන් Kanji ජපානයට ආවා. ඒත් ඒවා අමාරු නිසා පස්සේ Hiragana සහ Katakana හදලා, ජපන් භාෂාවට ගැලපෙන ලියන ක්‍රමයක් සම්පූර්ණ කළා. අද ජපන් භාෂාව ලියද්දී අර්ථය සඳහා Kanji, ව්‍යාකරණ සඳහා Hiragana, විදේශ වචන සඳහා Katakana භාවිතා කරනවා.

The Japanese government has officially announced a significant reduction in passport issuance fees, scheduled to take effect in July 2026. Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi stated that the cost for a 10-year passport for adults will drop from 15,900 yen to 8,900 yen, provided the application is submitted online.

Minors under the age of 18 will also see a price cut for 5-year passports, with online application fees falling to 4,400 yen from the previous maximum of 10,900 yen. As part of this administrative overhaul, the government plans to abolish the 5-year passport option for adults aged 18 and older.

This move aims to encourage digital transformation and make international travel more accessible for Japanese citizens. Officials are currently finalizing legislative adjustments to ensure the new pricing goes live by next summer.
