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.

Cultural Compatibility in Educational Contexts examines the mechanism of control and efficacy underlying specific cultural contexts, intercultural value differences, and consequential conflicts, which invisibly and unintentionally cause communication difficulties and negative performances. This specific study centers on Japanese language classrooms in Australia taught by native Japanese speakers. Comparative studies were carried out in classrooms in both Japan and Australia, and identified specific teaching strategies perceived to be effective in each cultural context. The book concludes by asserting that the notion of culture in the educational context goes beyond ethnic and linguistic differences; an awareness of cultural compatibility should be recognized as one of the professional responsibilities of all educators. This is particularly relevant to multicultural societies such as Australia, where both teaching and learning populations are increasingly diverse, as well as being applicable to other social contexts.

This book explores the relationship between tourism and difficult histories in Japan. More specifically, it considers the manner in which places associated with past dark events are presented and interpreted for tourists. In so doing, it seeks to identify the extent to which tourism contributes to enhancing mutual understanding as a stated objective of Japanese tourism policy.The book presents a range of tourist destinations which offer the opportunity to consider dark events in Japanese history in the context of broader contemporary debates surrounding how such events should be remembered and the contribution of these tourist destinations to peace and reconciliation. Case studies include both well- and lesser-known destinations related to the Pacific War, from a comparison of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Peace/Atomic Bomb Museums to an island where poison gas was manufactured and a former copper mine in which prisoners of war worked during 1944–1945. Other case studies focus on disaster sites, contentious industrial heritage, controversial Hansen’s disease (leprosy) sanatoria and more.This significant volume contributes to an understanding of the relationship between tourism and difficult histories in Japan. This will appeal widely across disciplines, including Tourism, Asian Studies, Geography, War and Reconciliation Studies, Peace Studies and International Relations.
