Japan has established a new administrative body under the Cabinet Secretariat to coordinate government efforts addressing issues related to foreign nationals, including crimes, nuisance behaviors, and misuse of various social systems. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced the formation of this "control tower" organization in early July 2025, aiming to promote an orderly coexistence society amid rising public concerns. The inauguration ceremony took place on July 15 at the Prime Minister's Office, with key government figures such as Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi in attendance. Ishiba emphasized the importance of reviewing and strengthening immigration-related laws and policies to address these challenges. The move comes as foreign resident policies became a significant topic during the July 2025 upper house election, where parties like the far-right Sanseito, advocating a "Japanese first" stance and tougher immigration controls, gained notable support. The government intends for the new office to lead cross-ministerial initiatives and improve the enforcement of relevant regulations to respond effectively to the issues posed by the increasing foreign population in Japan.
