Renewing my passport in Japan

 My SG passport is going to expire end of the year and ICA has emailed to remind me of the expiration. I am not going back just yet and am going to renew it in Japan. The nearest place where I can renew my passport is in Osaka which is 640 km away. In Singapore, I don't have to travel so far for the renewal. In Japan it's so inconvenient not only because of the distance but the wintery condition. I have no choice but to renew my passport otherwise I could not return to Singapore in the future.
