Into Japan is a Tokyo-based think tank helping Japan’s native-born and immigrant populations work together for their mutual benefit, and for a vibrant, secure, and prosperous Japan.
We engage in various activities that help make this integration between the Japanese and foreign residents a reality. Our core projects involve research and publication of resources that assist foreign residents, long-term citizens, business leaders, and politicians in making informed decisions about Japan’s future and the role of immigrants in that future. We also work to bring these various groups together to better understand how they can support each other and work together for Japan.

We produce materials that help foreign-born residents navigate their rights and responsibilities in Japan, and that touch on issues of cultural and social awareness.
We bring clarity to immigrant concerns through primary research, interactions with long-term foreign residents, and dialog with domestic and international experts.
We work to inform leaders who shape immigrant policies to help them establish the optimal legal and regulatory framework for immigrant affairs, removing unnecessary barriers and enabling this community to be a net benefit for Japan.
Into Japan is still in the development phase, and we are working to provide an initial set of resources and solutions. At this time, please enjoy the articles in our regular newsletter, or keep reading below to discover how you can join us in meeting our goals.
If you have something to say about Japan or its foreign population, send us a proposal. At this time, we are only publishing content on the Into Japan web site, but we plan to augment this with an in-depth magazine and a peer-reviewed research publication.
