Adaptation of the Japanese people in Ho Chi Minh City

The large population of the Japanese in Ho Chi Minh City has a significant impact on many aspects of the City’s development. To attract more Japanese people and their investment, it is very important to understand their adaptation to the living environment in this City. This paper studies how the Japanese have adapted to the natural condition such as weather and climate, and to the Vietnamese culture such as behaviors in public places as well as the advantages and disadvantages that affect this process. A classification of these adaptations is also discussed.
