Some responses to common questions i get about nonprofits in Japan
Q#1 Do you know how many registered NPOs there are and how many exist that are not officially registered?
npo法人
42170 as of June 30 or July 31 this year depending on which site you look at!
by issue break down https://www.npo-homepage.go.jp/data/bunnya.html
by regions https://www.npo-homepage.go.jp/data/pref.html
If you include social welfare groups or groups listed under the new 社団法人 system then the number is much higher
this site has that type of org data
