These days the long time working in Japan becomes one of the issues. There are certain people who are suffering. To solve the issue, the Japanese government adopts the working style reform. However, some studies said that it is not enough for workers in Japan because it still allows longtime working. How can we solve this serious issue? This study aims· to reduce health damages caused overtime working and explore whether Japanese government should set more limited law of working hours of working hour, like EU law. In this study, there are two main researches: first, comparing merits and demerits between Japanese working style reform and EU's working law, and found out that the most important key is secret overworking. Then, as a second main research, analyzing the precedents to search cause of secret work. The author discovered that there are certain amounts of overworking tasks that can be reduced by changing awareness of longtime working, such as subordinate should work more than boss. This study finally concludes that having limited law like EU in Japan will be a good to reduce health damages and if people change the awareness oflongtime working, it will be more effective.
