In the aftermath of COVID-19, countries are on their way of recovery and rejuvenation on different extents. During this process, the author started to reflect on many problems revealed in the pandemic and try to clarify future direction. This paper analyzed how Japan reacted to COVID-19 and embodied resilience from different perspectives of social and mental health, the food system, international efforts, and domestic policy, providing a clear panorama of Japans countermeasure. Japan successfully responded to the crisis on some extent. The government intervened less on citizens casual activity and provided conditions for the development of resilience. Traditional culture and high stress cause anxiety of youth and healthcare workers. The food market maintained stable supply through direct market and promotion of a network of farmers. The national policy followed the direction of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), but the latter is not clear and constructive enough. However, Japan designed National Resilience to mend this imitation.
