As the important social educational facility in Japan after the Second World War, the Citizen Center was not only the main place for Japanese people to parti.cipate in the community activities, but the important classroom for them to improve their cultural and spiritual quality and carry out the autonomous learning and free learning. After the war the formation, development and enrichness of Japanese social educational ideas are closely related to the development, deepening and a series of practical reforms of the Citizen Center. Especially in the 21^st century when the Japanese society is building an ideal learning - typed society, the existence and development of the Citizen Center has undoubtedly laid a solid and reliable foundation for the realization of the ideal earlier.
