The influx of foreign workers began to increase, and international marriages and illegal immigrants also increased starting from 1990 in Korea and in Japan the same phenomena happened ten years before in 1980. The problems that have arisen due to the increase of foreigners in both Korean and Japanese societies became the opportunity for the governments to promote multicultural policies so that foreigners and the citizens can get along and live well together. As a result, both nations such as Korea and Japan have established appropriate laws and systems, and have implemented supports through multicultural policies at the governmental, local, and school levels. The purpose of this study is to compare the multicultural policies in Korea and Japan and identify the differences and common points of multicultural policies of the two countries. Looking at the multicultural policies in Korea and Japan, it is found that Korea is implementing government-led policies and supports, which is delivered to local governments and various related organizations, while Japan is implementing community-led policies. In Japan, local governments began to make policy suggestions because of the absence of multicultural policies by the central government. The government formulated guidelines for multiculturalism in response to the proposals made by local governments and organizations, presented the contents to local governments, and practiced multiculturalism in accordance with the local situation. That is the biggest difference between Korea and Japan in multi-cultural policy. The multicultural policies implemented by both Korea and Japan are the supports for multicultural citizens, and educational support is of utmost importance. In addition to language education, cultural supports are provided, too. In order to establish the identity of multicultural citizens and to build a sense of solidarity among multicultural children, various supports through education and experiences in mother’s languages and the culture of their mother’s lands are being provided. However, the supports for the mother’s cultures are biased to the multicultural festivals in both countries and the festivals are composed of unified programs. It is found that diverse supports should be made for the multicultural families to understand their mothers’ cultures and to have sense of solidarity. As reviewed above, it is required to expand the support for the language and culture of the motherlands of the multicultural citizens so that multicultural citizens can live harmoniously with the native citizens in the community rather than a fairy-tale style education that imposes adaptation of the language and culture of the country of residence. In addition to the multicultural festivals, a new cultural support program should be established. Therefore, various supports are needed for the mothers’ languages and mothers’ cultures so that the government-led policies in Korea and community-led policies in Japan can make a harmony.
