Need a job? Would you like to work at an airport in Japan?
If so, this may be your lucky day! To meet the influx in foreign visitors to Japan, Narita Airport is looking to hire more foreign workers.

The move by Narita International Airport Corp. comes as the country seeks to attract 40 million visitors by 2020, when Tokyo hosts the Olympics and Paralympic, and 60 million by 2030, so as to achieve economic growth amid a shrinking domestic market characterized by an aging population and a persistently low birthrate.
The transport ministry is now considering creating a new visa status to expand foreign employment at airports nationwide to counter expected shortages of Japanese workers there.
