Abstract

In the current era, the implementation of character education is crucial for any country. Japan and Indonesia are two nations that have educational goals centered around character building. However, the execution of character education in these two countries follows different concepts. Despite these differences, both countries share the same objective: to create a quality nation. This study employs a library research method, an activity that utilizes written sources as references to obtain information and data related to the discussed topic. These data and information sources are obtained from various literature, such as books, articles, magazines, and both printed and online websites relevant to the discussion. Japan is known for its strong character education, which is integrated into the school curriculum and extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, character education is still in the developmental stage, with several new programs and initiatives being launched. However, it still needs to be fully integrated into the overall education system.
