The meeting criticized the insufficient increase of 163 immigration officers and highlighted the problem of the "Technical and Human Resources" visa deviating from its original purpose of targeting skilled workers and instead becoming a buffer for unskilled labor. The meeting condemned the government's stance as a "de facto immigration policy," citing wage levels approximately 700,000 yen lower than those of Japanese workers and the ballooning number of foreign workers to around 460,000. The meeting also pursued concerns about the misuse of religious visas and the lack of transparency due to the absence of systematic statistics. Discussions included strong calls for a fundamental review of the system.

Disappearance: The problem of technical intern trainees running away from their host organizations. The main reasons are believed to be differences in income and the need to seek new employment to repay debts. Foreign Guide: Since the 2018 legal amendment, it has become possible for unlicensed individuals to provide paid guiding services. Inaccurate historical and cultural explanations are a cause for concern. Kinkaku-ji Temple: A World Heritage Site in Kyoto.
