This study points out the unique characters of the Japanese Working Holiday Makers especially focusing on the late 20's female office workers. Working Holiday system has set out as one of the diplomatic friendship, the agreement between two countries. Hence it literally means for the single youth to enjoy working and holiday abroad. That is, the main target was for young students and the main object is the holiday and the work is just attached activity. The youth itself is a kind of "journey" in the meaning that the youth period is for transition from the child (the world of Holiday) to the adult (the world of Working). So for the youth, the journey tends to contain the factor of seeking their future career and the travel is related with the travail of looking for their identity. However, today in Japan, the main WHMs are women office worker of late 20's years old (more than 80%). Internationally compared, it is unique internationally but common in Japan. In many countries, for example, the United Kingdom and Australia, the working holiday are used by mainly the early 20's and students. Contrastively, majority of Japanese WHM are the late 20's female with tertiary qualifications, who dare to quit their jobs for WH. And these female tend to emphasize their motivation is not for just holiday. This implies the structural problem of the Japan's society under which the Japanese late 20's female office workers are situated.
