As a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary academic Journal, the Journal Of Japanese Studies is committed to providing an open platform that promotes in-depth understanding and research on Japan and its role in the global society. The core goal of the journal is to provide the academic community and the public with a comprehensive perspective on Japan by publishing high-quality empirical and interpretative research. It encourages scholars from the humanities and social sciences to submit their original research that addresses not only Japan's indigenous issues, but also Japan's influence and role on the international stage.

The journal especially welcomes papers that reveal new perspectives on Japanese culture, history, society, politics, and economics. At the same time, the journal is open to papers that compare Japan with other countries and regions, or that explore transnational topics. This cross-cultural and cross-border approach to research helps to uncover the interconnections and influences between different cultures and societies, contributing to the formation of a global perspective.
