SAPPORO, Japan -- The town of Urakawa in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido increasingly relies on workers from India to support its main industry of racehorse breeding, with farms hiring experienced grooms, attendants and riders from the South Asian country.
Most of them are employed with a skilled worker visa that requires over 10 years of experience, serving as contributors to farms in town, with some seeing them as budding leaders of the industry.
