Summary
In 2023, Japan granted refugee status to a record 303 asylum-seekers, a significant increase from the previous record of 202 in 2022, according to the Justice Ministry. However, the number remains much lower than those seen in Western countries. Additionally, two foreign nationals were granted quasi-refugee status, a new category for individuals fleeing conflict zones, and another 1,005 people were allowed to stay in Japan on humanitarian grounds despite not qualifying for refugee status.
