In this review article, the author examines from a critical viewpoint the recent achievements of Japanese geographers in the methodology and history of geographical thought in the broader sense. Works discussed in the previous review article of 1988 by Takeuchi and Nozawa are excluded from the present considerations. Rich achievements in the intellectual and social history of Japanese geographical thought and geographical knowledges in Japan are underlined. The strong influence of Western geographers in Japanese modern and contemporary geography is also mentioned.
