Why Japan’s Strong Culture Can Support Economic Growth through Immigration

We have a culture that we can be proud of in the world.
On the other hand, Japan cannot achieve economic growth unless it accepts more immigrants. I believe there is room for Japanese society and politicians to accept immigrants through the democratic process. In the future, Japan will be fine even if it becomes a major immigration country. The reason is that I think Japan has a very resilient culture. Even if we accept hundreds of thousands of immigrants, Japanese culture will not be lost. -Can we say that Japanese culture encompasses everything, including traditional culture such as Japanese cuisine, hospitality, and festivals?
Yes. Japanese culture is not so fragile that it can be destroyed by accepting immigrants. Japan’s rich culture is something to be proud of in the world. I don’t understand why Japan is so strict about accepting immigrants. Relaxing the acceptance of foreigners too much could lead to social instability, such as the rise of anti-immigration movements, as in the United States, but perhaps it would be better to relax the rules a little more.
