Questions

How many Korean-speaking pharmacies are there in Japan?
We list 55, in 14 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Tokyo, with 12 of the 55.
Is Korean unusual for pharmacies in Japan?
10% of the 562 pharmacies we hold in Japan are recorded as working in Korean. Most of them come from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
