Though foreign nationals can be classified into a single study group, all are different when it comes to their nationalities, ages, length and purpose of stay in Japan, and places of residence and employment. Minato ward in central Tokyo is home to many foreign embassies and foreign affiliated corporations. Though the town is said to have an abundance of international character, in this study we focus on the individual and to the extent possible explore the current state of foreign nationals living in Minato ward. Utilizing statistics concerning foreigners, field surveys in various facilities, direct interviews with foreign nationals, and other such tools, we attempt to answer questions about these individuals concerning their nationalities, length of stay, activities engaged in and other such matters.
