Overall, this book offers important insights for understanding the phenomenon of tourism on the one hand and the nature of Japanese society and culture on the other.
This book considers the patterns of travelling of the Japanese, examining travel inside and outside the Japanese archipelago and how tourist demands inside influence and shape patterns of travel outside the country. Japan is not only consuming other Asian societies and cultures, it is also being consumed by them in tourist contexts. In recent times, however, tourist demands are fast growing in other Asian countries such as Korea and China. In 2005, some 17.8 million Japanese travelled overseas across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific and America. Within Asia, Japan has been the main tourist-sending society since the beginning of the twentieth century, when it started colonizing Asian countries. What may be understood as incipient mass tourism started around the seventeenth century in various forms (including religious pilgrimages) long before it became a prevalent cultural phenomenon in the West.
Japanese people are one of the most widely travelling peoples in the world both historically and in contemporary times. It considers the diverse dimensions of modern tourism including appropriation and consumption of history, nostalgia, identity, domesticated foreignness, and the search for authenticity and invention of tradition. This book examines Japanese tourism and travel, both today and in the past, showing how over hundreds of years a distinct culture of travel developed, and exploring how this has permeated the perceptions and traditions of Japanese society.
