In recent years, the number of foreign residents in Japan has increased, along with the number of foreign workers.
Maintaining health is an essential part of living in Japan, but it is not as easy for foreigners to visit a medical institution as it is for Japanese people.
I believe that the decision of foreigners to visit medical institutions is influenced not only by Japan's social security system but also by the cultural background of their home country, and I am researching how their sense of health is formed and changes.
