Most Japanese Venezuelans only speak Spanish. Only a selected number can speak Japanese, while those with higher education speak English. There are even a number of Japanese Venezuelan schools that offer English language teaching to the recent Japanese residents.

The majority of Japanese Venezuelans are Roman Catholic Christians, while the rest are Buddhists.
