etary Minoru Kihara and the newly appointed Minister in charge of Coexistence with Foreign Nationals, Kimi Onoda, are expected to coordinate the efforts. The initiative comes after Takaichi’s pledge to “resolutely respond” to illegal activities by certain foreigners, while emphasizing that the government maintains a firm stance against xenophobia. Opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, have expressed concern that the policy could lead to excessive exclusion of foreigners. They plan to challenge the government’s approach during parliamentary debates. According to the coalition agreement, the government intends to draft legislation next year to strengthen regulations on land acquisition and capital investment by foreign nationals during the ordinary Diet session.
