Abstract
The coexistence of new technologies and cultural traditions allows search and finding related answers to the latest questions in educational development. Reforming the higher education system passes without breaches of national identity and demonstrates the raised efficiency of reforms. In this paper issues in higher education reforming have been considered by the example of Hokkaido University. The Management Staff of the university got an expanded authority; however, modernization of the higher education system has links with the international exchange system. The Hokkaido Short-Term exchange program has been provided since October, 1997. In 2014 Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (Yakutsk) and the University of Hokkaido signed the Protocol for establishing an intent to enhance promotion and development of new Master Degree Programs, applying resources of Russia and Japan. Thus, Hokkaido University has changed a model – based on following standards of leading countries— and started attempts to rethink a mission of its own. The Management staff set middle-, long-term goals, taking into account the expert community judgments but the internalization strategy surely is an important link.

Summary
Study of the Japanese educational system is of great interest to Russian pedagogical science and practice. Modern technologies and folk traditions co-existing in this country allow us to search for and find answers to topical questions about the relationship between the standard of living and the quality of education in the modern world. The Japanese government announced an ambitious plan to include 13 universities into the ranking of the 100 best universities in the world. There is Tokyo University and Kyoto University on the list of the top 100 world universities [1]. Over the past 15 years of permanent reforms, the Japanese educational system has achieved remarkable results. 8 scientists who specializes in the field of physics, 5 researchers in the field of chemistry and 3 researchers in medicine and physiology have been awarded the Nobel Prize [2]. There is importance of investigating the nature of learning in Japan at the present stage
