This book offers a comprehensive understanding of cultural heritage
in Japan and its relationship with both domestic and international
tourism. Japan has witnessed an increase in tourism, with rising
visitor numbers to both established destinations and lesser known
sites. This has generated greater attention towards various aspects
of Japanese culture, heritage and society. This book explores these
diverse aspects of everyday life in Japan and their
interconnections with tourism. It begins with a conceptual
framework of key theories related to heritage and tourism, serving
as a useful apparatus for further discussions in the following
chapters. Each chapter studies a specific aspect of Japan's
cultural heritage, from the history of Japan, the development of
war sites, such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to tourist destinations,
indigenous communities and their places of residence, festivals
such as matsuri, to popular culture and media. Each chapter
discusses a certain type of cultural heritage first in a global
context and then examines it in a Japanese context, aiming to
demonstrate the relation between these two different contexts. In
each chapter, furthermore, how a particular kind of Japan's
cultural heritage is utilised as tourism resources and how it is
perceived and consumed by international and domestic tourists are
discussed. Finally, the book revisits the conceptual framework to
suggest future directions for cultural heritage and tourism in
Japan. Written in an informative and accessible style, this book
will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in the
fields of tourism, cultural studies and heritage studies.
