Important Notice: Temporary Closure of Ark Road Citizen Service Counter Affecting Pay-easy Direct Debit Service
Odawara City is issuing an important announcement regarding a temporary closure that will impact the Pay-easy direct debit service. The Ark Road Citizen Service Counter will be temporarily closed on Wednesday, August 6th, 2025, from 9:31 AM.
This closure is to facilitate necessary maintenance and updates to the system. Consequently, the Pay-easy direct debit service, which allows residents to conveniently make payments directly from their bank accounts, will be unavailable during this period.
What is the Pay-easy Direct Debit Service?
The Pay-easy direct debit service is a valuable and user-friendly system provided by Odawara City that enables citizens to automate their bill payments. This service typically allows for the direct withdrawal of funds from a designated bank account on a specified date, ensuring timely and hassle-free payment of various municipal fees and charges. This can include things like utility bills, taxes, and other local government fees.
Impact of the Temporary Closure:
During the specified hours on August 6th, 2025, residents will not be able to utilize the Pay-easy direct debit service through the Ark Road Citizen Service Counter. This means that any payments scheduled or intended to be processed via this method during the closure period may be delayed or require an alternative payment method.
Recommendations for Residents:
Odawara City kindly requests that all residents who plan to use the Pay-easy direct debit service on August 6th, 2025, make alternative arrangements. We strongly advise the following:
- Advance Payments: If your payment is due on or around August 6th, 2025, please consider making your payment in advance of the closure.

- Other payment methods as outlined by Odawara City.
