Why Nagoya is Popular Among Foreign Residents
Nagoya (population approx. 2.32 million) is the central city of the "Chukyo region," Japan's third-largest economic zone after Tokyo and Osaka. The main reasons foreigners choose to live in Nagoya are:
- •Major manufacturing companies such as Toyota, Denso, and Aisin have their headquarters and factories here (many manufacturing workers from Brazil, the Philippines, Vietnam, and elsewhere)
- •High demand for international students at universities such as Nagoya University, Nanzan University, and Meijo University
