In-Depth Information
The central challenges of regional geography education in Japan lie in the design
of curricula and onsite teaching methods. It seems this is not an issue of concern for
educators in schools. For this reason, there is a real need to examine the education
system, given the challenges of structuring geography education from elementary to
senior high school and of preparing an effective educational environment.
