This significant and timely volume focuses on the unique trajectory
of tourism development in Japan, which has been characterized by an
historical emphasis on promoting both domestic and international
tourism to Japanese tourists, followed by the more recent policy of
competing aggressively in the international incoming tourist
market. Initial chapters present an overview of past and present
tourism, including policy and research perspectives. Thematic
perspectives on tourism and specific contexts and places in which
tourism occurs are then examined. Strains of Japanese tourism such
as sport, surf, forest, mountain, urban, tea, pilgrimage and even
whaling heritage tourism are among those analyzed. The book also
explores tourism's role in confronting difficult pasts and
presents, and the challenges facing the development of tourism in
contemporary Japan. A short postscript outlines some of the
challenges and possible future directions tourism in Japan may take
in light of the COVID-19 crisis. Written by a team of well-known
editors and contributors, including academics from Japan, this
volume will be of great interest to upper-students and researchers
and academics in development studies, cultural studies, geography
and tourism.
