The data sources for this research come from research results, government policies related to character education in these two countries. The research results explain that the basis of character education in Indonesia is state ideology, customs and culture, religious values, government rules and policies. Likewise, in Japan the basis for character education is cultural values, state ideology and government policy regulations. Approaches to character education in Indonesia include the value instillation approach, learning approach, example, and habituation. Whereas in Japan, among other things, the approach tends to be habituation, for the Japanese people, character is not taught but is used to it. The influence of community support on character education in Indonesia and Japan greatly influences the ethics produced by students.
