The Constitution of Japan (1947) guarantees the right to freedom of belief, which is systematized in several articles of the text. Having received a notorious influence from the U. S Constitution, the system shows some characteristic features that should be of interest to western scholars. In this work a study on this freedom (both on its ideological and religious sides) is carried out by analyzing the historical evolution of the system and by revising the most praised academic theories as well as the most relevant case law on this matter.
