Japan began welcoming 87 foreign students to the country on Sunday, the first such arrivals since strict rules were enforced in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus. And on Tuesday, it granted permission to enter to 400 more students.
About 147,000 foreign students have obtained permission to study in Japan, but due to the government's tight border-control measures, the vast majority of them have not yet been granted permission to actually enter the country.
