There are now 1.8 million foreigners working in Japan, including real estate agents, taxi drivers and garbage collectors. NHK WORLD-JAPAN has introduced over 100 such hardworking foreigners, and this program compiles some of the best stories. We look at how they struggle in the face of cultural differences, but bring about change in Japanese companies and society. The host is Sanyutei Kouseinen, a rakugo performer from Sweden.
