Abstract	The article, in line with transdisciplinary regionology, examines the history and current status of Japanese organizations working in the field of regional studies: research institutions and universities. The basic methods in the study were system analysis, science analysis, comparative analysis, terminological analysis and conceptual analysis. Basing on the analysis of their work and the main results, the authors of the article draw conclusions about the specifics of the topical issues in this area for Japan. It lies in the broad transdisciplinarity of regional studies, combined with the narrow focus of specific works and schools.
