The National Census is the Japanese government’s most important statistical survey, conducted every five years to clarify the population and household situation in Japan. All residents of Japan (including foreigners) are required to respond. Responses are used exclusively for statistical purposes and not for any other purpose.

We count on your cooperation for the National Census.

• Starting around late September 2025, statistical enumerators will visit each household and distribute questionnaires.
• The deadline for responses is October 8, 2025, and can be submitted online or by mail.
• A leaflet for foreign residents is included in the questionnaire. This leaflet contains URLs for websites in foreign languages that can be accessed from smartphones. Please read the instructions and complete the survey.
• Online responses are available in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Spanish, making it easy to respond.
• If you have any questions, you can contact the Census Contact Center by phone in your native language.
• Beware of scams disguised as census enumerators. Statistical enumeration personnel will never ask for personal information over the phone or email. They also always carry their enumeration ID.

The URLs of foreign language websites about the census and the telephone number for the consultation service will be announced on MieInfo around late September 2025.
