Umfrage: 60 % der ausländischen Einwohner wollen für immer in Saitama leben | Der Asahi Shimbun: Aktuelle Nachrichten, japanische Nachrichten und Analysen

>_The survey by the Saitama prefectural government also showed that foreign residents want the local government to provide more information in **multiple languages and expand and refine Japanese language education.**_

>_The latest survey was conducted in November and December last year by mail and the internet on 4,000 respondents randomly selected from basic resident registers kept by municipalities…_

>_It received 1,064 valid responses._

That’s because the other 2936 responded by saying, 「日本語食べません」

I’d be curious if the number is roughly the same in other prefectures or if Saitama is an outlier that draws more people with a long term desire to stay than elsewhere for some reason.

These people clearly do not work a 9-5 in the 23-wards.

Any particular reasons why?

This is exactly what living in Saitama will do to your brain over the long term….

I recently learned that the Japanese word „ダサい“ comes from „Saitama“.
