This captivating book delves into the intricate tapestry of encounters and interactions between international students and local civil society organizations (CSOs) in Japan. Through a comprehensive cross-case analysis, it unveils the remarkable possibilities that exist for international students in Japan to cultivate social capital within culturally and socially diverse groups. While traditional perspectives may perceive universities as the primary pillars of support, this research unveils the vital role of local CSOs as alternative actors, providing invaluable assistance to international students. Contrary to the prevailing notion of Japanese civil society as a top-down entity closely aligned with the government, this book unveils a multitude of decentralized and bottom-up organizational structures. Moreover, it sheds light on the active participation of foreign staff and volunteers in Japanese CSOs, challenging the traditional guest-host dichotomy prevalent in the previous literature. By offering a fresh and reimagined perspective on the role of international students and their engagement with CSOs in community building, this book captivates students and scholars of Asian studies, migration studies, as well as organizers of CSOs and faculty members of international higher education institutions.
