Based on the results of gathering, classifying and analyzing the international activities of Japanese local governments using a data base of articles from four Japanese newspapers, including Nihon Keizai Shinbun, this paper seeks to clarify problems with their activities and suggests ways of solving the problems. The length of time concerned here is 15 years, from 1980 through 1994. The number of articles used is 303 gathered from '92 to '94. Categories identified are: human exchange, international conferences, sister cities, facilities/organization, subsidy cooperation, policy, non-government groups, industrial exchange and foreign residents. Problems identified are: 1) producer-oriented international exchange led by central government; 2) thoughtless international exchange; and 3) international exchange in which responsibilities are not clearly defined. Although these problems are deeply rooted in the Japanese bureaucratic system and the national character, a suggested solution is to select a leader with management ability, courage and a global view.
