  1. Made this because I was getting annoyed by all the reposts of the same outdated map

    The vast majority of Vietnamese, Nepali residents are guess workers hired in five years contracts. Not sure how many of them would choose to settle in Japan, because Japan’s immigration laws are very strict. Prior 2012 there were only 30~50,000 Vietnamese living Japan, some arrived in the country as early as 1910s.

    Also, the majority of Vietnamese guess workers were mostly hired from three provinces that are often known as the gang region in vietnam. 

  3. Though “South Korea” is mostly Zainichi Koreans, and they don’t necessarily have South Korean nationality.

    i am a born and raised nepali japanese, when i was growing up nepalis were around 50-60k and most of us were concentrated around tokyo/chiba/yokohama/kumagaya. i think in the last 10 years or so demand to go to japan as agricultural workers or students or simply to settle as risen dramatically as every city in nepal has agencies promoting living in japan
