A family of Japanese immigrants living in a Japanese settlement in the town of Jarabacoa in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. Emigration from Japan to the Dominican republic began in the 1950s during the regime of Rafael Trujillo, but the Japanese government's recruitment promises of grants of up to 18 hectares of good farmland and other incentives were not honored. There was also friction between the Japanese immigrants and the local people. In 2006, the Japanese government formally apologized to the Japanese immigrants 山間地ハラバコアの日本人コロニアに住む日本人移住者の家族。日本からのドミニカ移民はトルヒーヨ体制の1950年代に始められたが、最大18ヘクタールの優良農地を無償譲渡するなどとした日本政府の募集要項は守られず、日系移民は地元民との軋轢を抱えていた。2006年になって日本は正式に謝罪している
