Higashi Nihon Immigration Center, Immigration detention center in Ushiku, Japan.

The Higashi Nihon Immigration Center operates under the Ministry of Justice with capacity for 700 detainees in modern concrete structures.

The facility opened in 1993 to address overcrowding at the Yokohama Immigration Detention Center and underwent renovations after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.

The center processes individuals from diverse international backgrounds, reflecting Japan's strict immigration enforcement policies and legal frameworks.

Visitors can reach the facility by taking a bus from JR Joban Line Ushiku Station to the Nogei Gakuin Mae stop.

In 2004, the center detained international chess champion Bobby Fischer during his immigration proceedings in Japan.
