As a kind of strategic resources, energy is not only the most basic driving forces for the development of the whole world and the economic growth, but also functions as the material base of existence and development for the mankind. In the 21st century, the development of resource and energy becomes an important issue and attracts more people’s attention, which is also closely related to international politics, international relations, security and economic situation. Energy is the most fundamental driving force for the development of the whole world and the economic growth, which provides material foundation for human. The development of energy takes hold of all the lifelines of our national economy and supports the development of national economy. In some sense, the advancement of human society can’t depart from the exploration of high quality energy and application of advanced energy technology. In the present world, the problems of energy’s development and environment arouse all humanity’s concern. Energy plays a decisive role in the national Geo-strategy.In the first part, the article analyses Japan’s geographical position and the formation of geo-strategy. Firstly, Japan is a country which is surrounded by sea, lacking in rich resources, so most of the time it relies on importing, which leads to some limitations for Japan’s development in the international society. However, because Japan is the marine nation, its strong economy as an obvious advantage and its geographical characteristics as a marine nation, in some way, have optimized the Japan’s development. Secondly, the article introduces the Japan’s variation of Geo-strategy adjustment. With the development of different times, adjusting energy structure according to the change of Japan’s domestic and overseas energy situation is an important strategy to ensure energy security in Japan.In the second part analyses the energy factor consideration in Japan’s Geo-strategy. Above all. the energy factor plays an increasingly outstanding part in the global Geo-strategy, whose development takes hold of all the lifelines of our national economy and supports the development of national economy. Then, the article illustrates the energy factor consideration in Japan’s geo-economy. In the modern society, as a country which consumes and import great amount of energy. Japan’s consideration of how to solve the energy problems is not only related to its development, but also exert important influence upon its Geo-strategy. Finally, the thesis analyses the adjustment about the layout of Japan’s Geo-strategy. The diversity of the market demand determines the diversity of the industry as well as makes some corresponding adjustment about its layout according to different ages, different periods and different domestic and international environment.In the third part, the author analyses the geo-strategy influence on the Sino-Japanese relationship. Firstly, the article introduces the energy problems of the Sino-Japanese cooperation including the Sino-Japanese cooperation of clean energy. In the 21st century, global challenges are growing, and countries more and more depend on each other for existence. In the current changing and complex international situation, with energy and climate as the two major challenges, the powerful nations such as the United States, Japan and China should share the responsibility in order to meet the global and regional security challenges. Secondly, the article introduces the energy issues in the dispute of the Sino-Japanese relationship. The issues include two disputes:one is on the east oil and gas, while the other is on the ownership of the Diaoyu Island. Economic globalization is a global problem which offers all countries with opportunities and challenges. The global shortage of resources urges countries to consider its own interest and seek new resources thus competition for the natural resources of the ocean appears. As for how to solve this dispute, joint efforts from both parties are needed.
