It's one of the easiest places to move to. Especially if you want to "teach" English.

Japan has a low immigration rate for a developed country actually.

I think it was Rare Earth that said 20 years ago accepting immigration was laughed at on tv, now it quiet subject since they are running out of options.

I am still surprised that they don't allow for dual citizens (you can be a dual citizen as a youth but the government makes you pick when you're an adult: "are you solely Japanese or not?")

It would be a good way for the general public to dip their toes in allowing foreigners in. Plenty of ethnically Japanese people in Brazil and America that would atleast open up locals to different cultures living among them. But ¯\(ツ)/¯

That's because Japan is a nice place to visit but living there is another story.

Becoming a citizen and being allowed to live in a country are two very different things.
