The following is a list of areas in Japan that have a large number of foreign residents.

Oizumi-machi, Ora-gun, Gunma

This area is the smallest in area in Gunma Prefecture, but has a very large number of people.

This is because it is a town with many manufacturing industries and there are many factories of major manufacturers.

And Oizumi Town has a “Brasil Town” where many many Japanese-Brazilians live.

Oizumi is famous as a cosmopolitan town, not only because of Brazilians, but also because of the large number of people from various countries.

Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo

Tokyo has 23 wards, of which Shinjuku-ku is located in the center. As such, it is a very busy and convenient city, home to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office and other offices.

In Shinjuku City, the number of condominiums has become very large due to the drop in land prices.

Therefore, there are many places to live, and foreigners from many different countries are gathering here.

There is also “Korea Town,” so there are many Chinese, Koreans, and Koreans.

In addition, there are many foreigners who come to Shinjuku not only as immigrants but also as tourists, making Shinjuku City a very cosmopolitan city.

Toshima-ku, Tokyo

This area has a very large Chinese population.

There is a “Chinatown” centered on Ikebukuro Station, which is a comfortable place for Chinese people and a place of community.

Also, like Shinjuku-ku, the cost of land in this area has dropped, so there are many condominiums and very many places to live. Since it is close to the center of Tokyo, many working people live here.

Kawakami-mura, Minamisaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture / Minamimaki-mura, Minamisaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture

Kawakami Village and Minamimaki Village here are the production centers of highland vegetables. Therefore, agriculture is very popular and many foreigners who want to learn agriculture live here.

Many Filipinos and Chinese, as well as Vietnamese, are working in agriculture as farm trainees.

While the number of foreigners is increasing, the number of elderly Japanese is increasing, and the population is decreasing rapidly. Having foreigners stay in the village has led to the vitality of the village.

Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture

Most of the people in this area are Chinese. This is because there is a very large housing complex in Kawaguchi City, and more than half of the residents are Chinese. There are Chinese stores on the premises, making it a very comfortable place for Chinese people to live.

The next largest group is Vietnamese. Foreigners are opening stores one after another in the places that have been vacant since Corona.

Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants and grocery stores line the streets, making it a comfortable place for foreigners to live.
