The current reality of the intra-regional international student mobility in Asia since the turn of the 21st century is a result of the rapid growth of international students in Asia That growth has mostly resulted from the staggering influx and circulation of students in Asia, primarily amongst China, South Korea, Japan, and the ASEAN countries But in the conditions of lockdown announced by the government in April 2020, a lot of international students, Universities and Japanese language schools (training new applicants for Japanese Universities) have been in a difficult situation Using the results of students’ opinion polls and monitoring the Japanese media this study aims to identify what challenges of Universities, students and Japanese system of higher education has been being faced during lockdown Based on these findings, this article predicts that without targeted support and legislative changes in the interaction of the Japanese education system with the state and society, difficult times will await it in the future Пока японские университеты пытаются справиться с последствиями вспышки коронавируса, эксперты и представители администрации университетов в один голос говорят, что вскоре после объявления премьер-министром С Абэ о закрытии всех школ и университетов в Японии со 2 марта 2020 г ситуация стремительно переросла в серьезный кризис в японском образовании Какие механизмы задействованы для выхода из этой затянувшейся перемены, и какие еще нужно будет задействовать администрациям университетов и правительству Японии?
