In October 2025, residents of Kuchan, a small but world famous ski resort town 
in Hokkaido, launched a petition with 4,000 signatures to block the construction [music] of a foreign worker dormatory. 
The proposed facility would house 1,200 seasonal workers, most of them foreigners [music] from Southeast Asia, who are needed to run the ski resorts and construction sites. 
Residents cited concerns about noise, garbage, and nighttime safety. 
One petition organizer said that she felt as if they were becoming foreigners in their own town. 
After all, 1,200 workers would [music] be 10% of the town's entire population in a single complex. 
But here's what's interesting. [music] The same town has been struggling with closed shops and an aging population for years. 
The local convenience store can barely stay [music] open because there aren't enough workers. 
So, you have this fascinating contradiction. 
locals protesting [music] the foreign workers who are needed to serve the foreign tourists whose money keeps their town alive. 
So, is Japan really 
anti-immigration? That's what we're 
going to explore next.
