Abstract	The aim of this paper is to clarify the current position of teaching geography as part of environmental studies and also to emphasize the direction of sustainable development of Japan through teaching geography. In general, Japanese children have excellent grasp of knowledge about environment and understand to keep natural environment. But they don't try to judge how they act to solve environmental issues. In Japanese schools, geography is taught to provide general knowledge about Japan as well as the world. However, recently, some teachers attempted to introduce a change in the aim and content of the subject, and the teaching method of geography, as an alternative approach to traditional teaching geography in schools. Teaching about sustainable development through geography is the important direction of change in geographical teaching in Japan. (Orig.).
