Japan actually has a lot of foreign nurses (largely from the Philippines as with many countries). It is a higher barrier to entry due to needing to know not only regular and business japanese but also medical jargon and be able to pass tests in japanese on it.

I imagine immigration in that sector will grow (it's not mutually exclusive to robotics), particularly as the older generations die out.
