For the first time in Japan, foreign nationals have begun driving local bus routes under the Specified Skilled Worker program to address severe labor shortages. Tokyo Bus launched the initiative on December 23 in Tokyo and Okinawa, hiring five drivers from the Philippines after long-term training.

The company says even higher wages have not attracted enough domestic drivers, making outside talent necessary. New drivers initially operate with support from Japanese staff and are expected to work independently after several months. Industry leaders hope the move will stabilize bus services and ensure passenger safety.

Public understanding and continued training will be important as Japan adapts to workforce shortages in essential public services.

This photo has been trending in Japan, and for a good reason.

Late at night in a convenience store, a foreign staff member was smoothly handling a cash-on-delivery parcel which one of the more complicated tasks in a Japanese konbini.
Speaking in natural Japanese.
Multitasking.
Managing the line.
Calling for support when needed.

No drama. Just professionalism.

Many Japanese people reacted not with criticism, but with respect:

“How much Japanese did he study to reach this level?”
“I worked in a convenience store, but I could never do this in another country.”

This moment reminds us of something important:
Learning a new language.
Adapting to a different culture.
Showing up every day and doing your best matters.

To all foreigners working, studying, and building a life in Japan:
You are seen.
Your effort is noticed.
And moments like this inspire more people than you think.

Small actions. Big impact. 🇯🇵🤝🌍

The inventor’s name is Yūki Aizawa (湯木 相澤), a Japanese design student working under the project name ZAWAWORKS.

She created the fingerprint-locked “smart bra” prototype in early 2025 as a conceptual design project, not a commercial product.
