    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '移住 (いじゅう)' refers to the act of moving from one place to another to live there permanently or for an extended period. It is often used in the context of people relocating to a different country, region, or city. For example: Many people are considering migration to rural areas「多くの人が田舎への移住を考えている」(おおくのひとがいなかへのいじゅうをかんがえている). His family planned migration to Canada「彼の家族はカナダへの移住を計画した」(かれのかぞくはカナダへのいじゅうをけいかくした).
