Japan diaspora in Asia

According to the United Nations, 231,000 people from Japan live in Asia.

In total, 977,000 people from Japan live abroad, and about 24% of them live in Asia.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

No community for people from Japan exists in Asia on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

There, the largest diasporas also come from Egypt, Russia, Sudan, the United States, and Ukraine, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Every February 11, the national day brings the Japan diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.

Elsewhere, the Japan diaspora also lives in the United States, Australia, and Brazil. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
