Number of Japanese residents in Taiwan 2014-2023
As of October 2023, approximately 21.1 thousand Japanese residents lived in Taiwan, marking a slight increase from the previous year. The Japanese population grew steadily over the course of the past decade, peaking at around 25.7 thousand residents in 2019, but has decreased since then.
The statistic, which is based on the information gathered by Japanese diplomatic missions abroad, does not include descendants of Japanese emigrants (nikkeijin) who do not hold Japanese citizenship. People with multiple citizenship are counted.
