Japan was in the vortex of changing era again after two important changes of Meiji Restoration and the post-war democratic reform. Under the era background of the Economic Globalization, Japanese economy has continued to decline or even stagnate, and the politics has drifted. Although both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Democratic Party of Japan made some measures, there haven’t change the situation during their time in power. In this case, there have been appearing some political parties who put forward their own reform plan aiming to change Japan. The Restoration Association which led by Tour Hashimoto has become the main force in the Third Pole forces competing with LDP and the Democratic Party of Japan, and it proposed a lot of reform ideas.The reform ideas of Tour Hashimoto were consisted of Administration and Politics. It included the reforms of administration, civil service system, economy, social security and education in the field of administration; He advocated the reform of diplomacy, national defense and constitution in the politic. It’s easy to find that they had a great connection with the historical tradition of Japan from these reforms. some of these innovations reflected the pursuit of decentralization and local self-government of Tour Hashimoto such as establishing the perfect administrative system, implementing system of state, conducting tax reform, which has some difference and also connection with the traditional centralized power and the local authority. The reform of civil service system attempted to break the system based on seniority and challenge the "loyalty" in traditional culture.

The reform proposition of Tour Hashimoto in the 96 th articles of the constitution which were eye-catching.What he proposed reflect the increasing of regional strength and the further deepening of the degree of conservatism which the claims are related to the vital interests of people, and it caters to voters and is popular in young people. But most of these reforms challenge the tradition of Japan, which just carry on the processing of other’s opinions, and are lack of substantive content, just consider the current issue and have no long-term aim. In addition, the prospect is little optimistic due to some problems of Tour Hashimoto’s self-factors and political party.
