Can we please stop with the "I see lots of foreigners", "I don't see any foreigners" anecdotes!? Seriously, I expected better from HN posters. From this article we can see that there are 2.73 million foreigners in Japan: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/03/22/national/number-foreign-residents-japan-rose-6-6-2018-number-overstayers-grew-almost-twice-much-government-data-shows/#.XOfB7d-YWV4 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/03/22/national/number... And with a population of 126.8 million people that means that 2% of the population are foreign.
