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.

Values-rich journeys can be described as pilgrimage, spiritual
travel, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, and valuistic
journeys. There are many motivations for undertaking these
journeys; the most important being personal values, life
experience, personal and social identity, lifestyle, social and
cultural influence. This book presents contributions that address
pilgrim motivation, identity and values as they are shaped by the
broader sociological, psychological, cultural and environmental
perspectives. The focus of the book is the travellers themselves
and their inner world through the lens of their pilgrimage. The
research presented focuses on the typology of pilgrim journeys as
ways in which identity and values are presented to a post-modern
consumer society, providing interesting and challenging
perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century. The
book: - Provides a framework for understanding the impact of values
and identity on the motivation and behaviour of contemporary
pilgrims. - Presents a comprehensive review of the latest research,
a collection of case studies and models of practical applications.
- Discusses the perceptions of tourism and pilgrimage in the age of
value transformations and identity challenges.
