STORYLINE:
20 refugees from Ukraine arrived at Tokyo's International Airport on Tuesday along with Japan's Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi.
The 20 evacuees, who fled from Poland on a government plane, are expected to stay in Japan for at least six months.
Japan will provide further support if needed.
Tokyo has previously accepted about 300 other Ukrainians, all relatives of about 2,000 Ukrainian residents in Japan who arrived on their own since the Russian invasion began.
Japan has an extremely strict refugee policy and has been reluctant to fully accept migrant workers, making its offer to accept Ukrainians unusual.
However, the government has carefully called them evacuees, and it is still unclear if the situation in Ukraine will change Japan's immigration policy.
During three days in Poland, Hayashi visited facilities for Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw and held talks with Polish officials, international humanitarian organizations and civil groups to assess how Japan can provide support.
