Abstract

Japan's rural governance adopts a model of adapting to local conditions, promoting the development and revitalization of rural areas through the participation of village building movements, farmers' associations, and social organizations. The village building movement emphasizes the inheritance of local characteristics and culture, attracting talents and tourists by improving infrastructure and improving quality of life, and promoting the development of rural economy. The Farmers' Association has played an important role in agricultural production, processing, and sales, improving farmers' income and living standards. At the same time, rural governance in Japan also focuses on environmental protection and has taken a series of measures to protect and improve the rural environment, achieving sustainable development.
