I was very pleased to be invited to be the guest editor for this issue of the Journal of International Students, not least because the journal presents cutting-edge research that is generating new perspectives in the field. The journal is filling a gap in the literature and its significance is drawing attention from other established journals such as the Journal of Studies in International Education (see the editorial of JSIE, 16 (1) 2013, p.3). One of the main strengths of the journal is its combination of contributions from established researchers and emergent researchers many of whom have experienced international mobility themselves and are undertaking doctoral studies in this field. Previous work has noted the under-exploited nature of research work carried out by international students and staff themselves and its potential in informing the field.

Since 1983, the Japanese government has worked to implement various reforms to make higher education in Japan more attractive to international students (Horie, 2002). Verbik and Lasanowski (2007) have identified Japan as an “evolving destination” (p. 14) in international mobility with a growing number of international students choosing to study in Japan.

This chapter explores the factors that might influence the intention to study abroad and determines which requirement can be used to attract international students. Fuzzy statistics was used to determine the influencing factors related to student mobility in terms of outbound and inbound study. Exploring students' intentions to study abroad and their readiness may provide a better conception on the issue. The result reveals that study abroad is a better choice for many college students. Since the government provided a menu driven program for universities, various universities have been found to enhance their learning programs to attract more international students. The findings suggest that maintaining cheaper tuition, enhancing culture-related programs, and providing good environment and equipment will attract more international students. However, the factors influencing the international students coming vary in different countries.
