By language

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

Where these came from

These lawyers come from 8 sources, led by the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' lawyer search (332), the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (55) and a United States embassy or consulate (32).

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

Questions

How many lawyers does this page cover in Japan?
432, across 18 cities. Each one is on a published list we link to.
Which city in Japan has the most?
Tokyo, with 263. Tokyo (263), Osaka (60) and Fukuoka (20) together hold 79% of what we list in the country.
Are these the only lawyers 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.
