Abstract Grassroots and local governance are closest to people's daily life. Their content and form change with the development of human society. Since Japan was labeled as one of the developed countries, its grass-roots and local governances have been service-centered and formed a sound service system. First, the focus of governance has shifted to grassroots, and grass-roots governments are playing an increasingly important role in the national governance system. Second, local and central governments have increasingly stronger service consciousness. Third, grassroots autonomous organizations play the service function in people's daily life. Fourth, the service-centered grassroots and local governances have sound operational mechanism. The important conditions for this change of governance orientation are welfare state, democratic system and group culture. China is building a modernized country in an all-around way. The evolution of Japan's grassroots and local governance has many implications for China, including the focus shifting to grassroots, equal service and institutional guarantee.
