But the sudden demographic shift is triggering anti-foreigner rhetoric on social media and posing other challenges. Foreigners made up 81% of Tokyo's year-on-year population growth of 90,632 as of January, according to a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications demographic survey. Looking at population composition by age, foreigners accounted for 38% of the 20-to-24-year-old population in Toshima ward and 37% in Shinjuku ward. The rapid rise is causing friction. In September, demonstrations were held in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for days, calling for the withdrawal of an agreement the city reached with an Egyptian business group in August. The agreement included measures to support the development of training programs to help Egyptian workers secure jobs in Japan. Protestors chanted and held signs showing anti-immigrant slogans. While the plan's goal was to secure workers amid worsening labor shortages, rumors and overreaction spread on social media. Policies regarding foreigners became a key issue in the July upper house election, leading to strong gains for upstart Sanseito party, which advocated "Japanese First" policies. The issue has also become a central theme in the election to choose the next leader of the Liberal Democratic Party. alt Anti-immigration demonstrations were held in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in September.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has also received an increasing number of complaints based on misinformation, raising concerns that the situation "could make it more difficult to implement policies regarding foreigners," an official said. Foreigners have been crucial to Tokyo's economic growth of late. The largest employment sector for foreigners as of October 2024 was the accommodation and food service industry, with 117,661 people, up 7% from the previous year, according to the Tokyo Labor Bureau. In July, the job-to-applicant ratio for food preparation workers in Tokyo was 5.27, while the figure for customer service and wait staff was 4.91 -- both much higher than the overall ratio of 1.51. A Tokyo association of elderly welfare facilities reported that 77% of nursing homes in Tokyo employ foreign staff, with over 90% of the facilities citing securing personnel as the reason. The job-to-applicant ratio for caregivers was 9.51, the second-highest among all occupations. Foreigners are filling in the gaps in Tokyo's labor market. alt The number of Nepalese residents in particular has surged recently. A Tokyo Metropolitan Government survey found that as of July, Tokyo's Nepalese population was 58,185, 2.2 times higher than three years earlier. In April, Nepalese residents surpassed those from Vietnam to become the third-largest foreign demographic by country or region behind China and South Korea. The rapid influx has become a source of regional friction due to differences in culture and customs. alt Edogawa ward is one of the municipalities with a large Nepalese population. Himalayan International Academy, a school for Nepalese students that opened in 2021, has around 200 students. In April and May, at the beginning of Japan's school year, it received a number of complaints, such as that its students were spreading out across the road on their way to class. On Sept. 17, the ward held a seminar for Himalayan International's students about traffic rules and etiquette. The school is working to quickly address the issue, holding its own courses for both students and parents on etiquette for daily life in Japan. The school held a local trash cleanup event around nearby Koiwa Station on Sept. 20, with about 30 students and teachers participating. Principal Kalu Mehta said that he would also be concerned if there was a sudden influx in foreigners near his home in Nepal, and that he participated in the event to communicate with local residents. Edogawa has experienced this before. Beginning around 2000, there was a large increase in Indian residents in the southern part of the ward. India is now the second-largest foreigner demographic in the ward after China, but the Indian community has built positive relationships with the local community. Some Indians even serve on the organizing committees of the small seasonal festivals that are critical to local culture. Edogawa ward predicts that by 2100, one in five residents will be foreign. "Foreign workers are indispensable in areas such as nursing care and construction," said Mayor Takeshi Saito. "We are not giving foreigners special treatment, but it is the government's mission to ensure that they can receive the same level of government services as Japanese people." |
