A government panel of experts is recommending that Japan create a mandatory integration program for foreign residents and collect data on real estate ownership by non-citizens, in a report submitted to “immigration minister” Kimi Onoda on Wednesday.

The report was submitted by the panel’s chair, Reiko Hayashi, the director-general of the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.

The meeting between economic security minister Onoda — who is also “minister in charge of a society of well-ordered and harmonious coexistence with foreign nationals” — and Hayashi took place as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s administration moves to reset Japan’s direction for policies related to foreign nationals, including by conducting better language programs and implementing new restrictions on real estate purchases on national and economic security grounds.
