In this paper, I aim to portray the state and future prospects of global education in Japan from the perspective I have gained from my engagement in the operation of the Special Program for Global Human Resource Development at Okayama University. While doing so, I hope I can bring some clarity to such hot but amibiguous concepts or activities as globalization, global education, global human resources development, etc. Also, I will offer some suggestions thoughtful considerations of which I believe will lead to richer rewards from the joint endeavors of hardworking people at Okayama University.
