Do you know how many international students there are in Japan?// In 2020, we had nearly 300,000 students from foreign countries, compared to 36,000 in 2009.// The latest survey shows that most of them come from Asian countries.// Let’s take a look at the result of the survey.//
　　Table 1 indicates that the number of international students from Asian countries is 292,317.// On the other hand, the number of those from North America is only 3,437.//

　　According to Table 2, China ranks first with more than 124 thousand students.// Compared to the number in the previous year, this is an 8 percent increase.// Next comes Vietnam with about 73 thousand.// Nepal, Korea and Taiwan rank third, fourth and fifth respectively.//


　　Let’s look at Table 1 again.// As you can see, the percentage of Asian students is 93.6%.// Meanwhile, the percentages of the students from Europe and North America are 3.3% and 1.1% respectively.//


　　Thus we can see that a greater number of Asian students are studying in Japan, while the number of students from Western countries is relatively small.// Thank you for your attention.//
