Jepang adalah salah satu destinasi wisata yang menarik wisatawan Muslim dari Indonesia,Malaysia, dan negara-negara lain di Timur Tengah. Akhir-akhir ini, tingginya jumlah wisatawan Muslimmembuat Jepang menjadi sangat gencar mengembangkan fasilitas ramah Muslim untuk meningkatkanjumlah kunjungan wisatawan asing.

Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat apakah fasilitasramah Muslim yang mereka kembangkan sebagai bentuk omotenashi telah sesuai dengan standar wisatahalal yang diharapkan oleh wisatawan Muslim. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada karakteristik pelayananberbasis omotenashi, kebutuhan pengembangan wisata halal di Jepang, serta perkembangan fasilitasramah Muslim di Jepang. Data penelitian ini diambil dari jurnal dan website yang relevan dengan temapenelitian.

Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is the largest-scale Japanese-Language test for non-native speakers in the world. This measurement tool is used by many companies and universities to assess the Japanese language skills of a job/scholarship applicant. The minimum standard expected by a company or university is the JLPT N3 level. Therefore, the majority of educational institutions in Indonesia that organize Japanese language programs set the learning outcome of its graduates to be equivalent to JLPT level N3. However, many students fail to pass the JLPT N3 exam before they graduate from college. In this study, a survey was conducted through a questionnaire to find out students' perceptions of the difficulties they encountered while taking the JLPT N3 exam. This study was conducted at the Japanese Study Program of the Vocational College of Uninversitas Gadjah Mada. Based on the results of the study, 88% of respondents found difficulty in answering Reading (Dokkai) and 62% of respondents found difficulty in answering Grammar (Bunpo) questions. Only 41% of respondents found difficulty in answering Vocabulary (Moji-goi) questions. Meanwhile, 59% of respondents found that the easiest exam questions were Listening (Choukai) questions. Generally, there are several factors that cause the difficulties. According to the students, the factor causing the difficulties in all types of questions (Reading, Grammar, Vocabulary and Listening) is the low mastery in vocabulary.
The number of Japanese learners in Indonesia ranks the second largest in the world after China. In addition to great interest in Japanese popular culture products, such as anime and manga, the enthusiasm of Japanese learners to study in Japan has become one of the main motivations for learning the Japanese language. The changing in educational policy implemented by the Japanese government has also offered a new possibility for study in Japan. This study aims to explain how the motivation to study in Japan was cultivated through the process of Japanese language learning in higher educational institutions in Indonesia. Researchers collected data using a set of a questionnaire distributed to Japanese language learners at designated universities and interviews with some of the respondents. This study focused on three issues: factors that motivate students to choose Japanese language study programs in university, language skills that learners want to develop in university, and their interest in studying in Japan. The result showed that interest in the Japanese language was the primary motivation for many learners to continue their study in higher educational institutions. The ability to communicate with native Japanese speakers was a significant achievement for a Japanese learner, but at the same time, it was a difficult task to achieve. Study in Japan provided an opportunity for learners to improve their Japanese language skills and to gain experience in Japan. These things were expected to increase the value of learners’ cultural capital and access to previously unobtainable resources.
The research measured the digital technology literacy skills of professional Japanese language translators and interpreters. A modified version of the digital literacy skills checklist constructed by Open University was employed in the research. The questionnaire consisted of four sections, i.e., understanding general digital practices, finding, using, and creating information related to Japanese translation and interpreting, and the use of translation and interpreting technology. The result shows that respondents have confidence in their digital literacy skills to find, use, or create information online. However, most of them are still unfamiliar with the application of Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) and Computer Assisted Interpreting (CAI) tools to assist the translation or interpreting jobs. The result indicates that many Japanese businesses and industries do not require translators and interpreters to use specific CAT or CAI tools. However, the rapid development of digital technology and the market trend toward the use of technology are inevitable. Basic knowledge of these tools is necessary because they offer many advantages for translators and interpreters to work effectively. Therefore, it is highly important to incorporate the basic knowledge of CAT and CAI tools and other digital technology resources into the curriculum for students translators and interpreters.

One of the efforts to improve the quality of human resources is by building links and matches between educational institutions and industry. This link and match will support the growth of skilled human resources who can contribute optimally in various fields. In this regard, the question that often arises is whether universities, as institutions that play a role in educating young people, have produced graduates who have competencies that are in line with the needs of the industries. This research was conducted to identify hard skills and soft skill s typically required by the industries related to Japan and needed to be mastered by the graduates of Japanese Language/Literature Study Program who are working as Japanese speaking professional. Besides, this research aimed to analyze the weaknesses and problems faced by Japanese speaking professional when carrying out their work. The research data were collected from Japanese speaking professionals and the representative from Japanese companies located in Indonesia using questionnaires and interviews. Data obtained were then analyzed by referring to several references, including the results of the research conducted by M.M. Robles (2012) related to hard skills and soft skill s. The study finding about the strengths and weaknesses of Japanese Language Study Program graduates in Indonesia, can lead to improvement of the Japanese language learning, especially Japanese language learning in universities in Indonesia. So that the results of the study are expected to be taken into consideration in preparing and developing the curriculum of Japanese Language Studies Program in Universities, not only in the Vocational School of UGM, but also in other institutions in Indonesia.
This study investigates how Japanese language students view group poster presentations as a project-based integrated language learning process. Japanese language students in higher education must possess both the hard and soft skills necessary for the workplace in the twenty-first century. Therefore, developing Japanese language learning methods is necessary to enhance both learners' soft skills and Japanese proficiency. The project-based learning (PjBL) approach was carried out through a project assigned in the Speaking course, namely in group poster presentations. This research investigated students' perceptions after implementing poster presentation activities to develop their soft skills. The research data were collected using questionnaires, interviews with selected students, and observations during the 8-week project. The results of this study show that the Japanese language students respond favourably to the implementation of the group poster presentation project. Poster presentation activities encourage the students to practice their four Japanese language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in realistic communication. At the same time, these group project activities help the students understand the value of interpersonal skills, project management, critical thinking and problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills in completing a project.
