By language

15 languages are recorded often enough in Japan to have a page of its own.

Where these came from

These doctors come from 4 sources, led by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (8092), a Korean embassy or consulate (30) and the UK Foreign Office's travel advice (12).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many doctors does this page cover in Japan?
8136, across 28 cities. Each one is on a published list we link to.
Which city in Japan has the most?
Tokyo, with 2113. Tokyo (2113), Osaka (1015) and Nagoya (770) together hold 48% of what we list in the country.
Are these the only doctors in Japan?
No. These are the ones whose working language a published source states, which is a much smaller set than the ones that exist. A city missing here is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that nobody practises there.
