The purpose of this paper is to research the significance of women's universities and colleges in Japan, especially after World War II. There are 87 four-year women's universities and colleges-2 national, 8 public and 77 private-in Japan now. In the process of understanding, the writer inquired into their existence from the point of view of law and mentioned today's situation of women's universities and colleges. Then the writer pursued the problem of coeducationalism, and finally, thought about the aim of higher education for women in the future of Japan. Recently, there is a tendency to change women's higher institutions to coeducation little by little in Japan. We must inquire into the special educational purpose of women's universities and colleges which have positive significance. We must also consider about opening them for adults as institutions for a life-long education more and more. It will increase value of the existence of women's universities and colleges.
