How to say "asylum" in Japanese

• 収容所しゅうようじょCommon
  nounA common word for a facility where people are housed or confined — a detention facility, internment camp, or prisoner-of-war camp. For 'asylum' as protection or refuge, it is not the word you want.
• アジール
  nounCovers 'asylum' as a place of shelter or protection: a refuge or sanctuary for someone fleeing danger or persecution. It is a less common word.
• アサイラム
  nounA direct loanword for 'asylum', covering the sense of protection or shelter granted to someone fleeing persecution. It is also a less common word.

For 'asylum' as protection or refuge, use 「アサイラム」 or 「アジール」, both less common loanwords; the common word 収容所 is really for detention and internment facilities, not for 'asylum' as protection.
