Nepalis in Japan
Nepalis have overtaken Brazilians to become the fifth-largest foreign community in Japan. As of June 2024, there were a total of 206,898 Nepalis with an annual rise of 30-50,000 individuals. Brazilians have been increasing by a mere 2-5,000. Only China, Vietnam, South Korea, and the Philippines have more people than Nepal in Japan. Nepalis usually come to Japan on student visas that also allow them to work mainly in the Kyushu region in restaurants.
