The history of Japanese immigration and emigration is interesting and complex. Immigration to the island nation has historically been limited, partly because of the country’s isolation over long periods. Emigration, or leaving one’s home country for another, has also been minimal throughout much of Japan’s history. In recent years, however, both immigration to and emigration from Japan has become more common.
