The article presents the results of a comparative legal analysis of the institution of escrow in the Russian Federation and Japan. The paper compares and analyzes the national character of the peoples of the two states, affecting the legal relations. A number of distinctive features of escrow in the Russian Federation allows us to conclude that this institution is less developed and difficult to understand, which in practice leads to a narrow application, being limited to one sphere. In Japan, escrow has a number of advantages: the range of social relations for its application is defined, who exactly can act as an escrow agent, a clear and detailed legislative and information base for participants in civil legal relations. Also some amendments and improvements of the Russian legislation are offered, thereby raising the relevance and applicability of this institution.
