During the summer school holi- day, especially between Jul. 20 and Aug.15, most of the campsites in scenic places are besieged by student campers. Though facilities and equipment available at Japanese campsites may not be equal to those you have experienced in Europe or North America, camping is an excellent way to make new friends. To avoid any possible disappointment, it is always wise to take your own camping gear with you and to get to your campsite well before dark. Please note that bus service to many campsites is often very limited. In the national parks and other restricted areas, camping outside the desig- nated areas is strictly prohibited. Please check the notice board and ask if there are any local rules and regulations you should observe when you arrive at your campsite. There are currently more than 2,800 campsites scattered all over Japan, mostly owned and managed by public bodies. Listed below and in the pages to follow are a few of them. How to read the listings: The campsites are grouped into eight districts, namely from north to south: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu. For easy reference each site is numbered on the map on the back cover. Abbreviations used: No.: Name of the campground ( ) A: Address and phone number for inquiry or reservation. If not mentioned otherwise, the name of the organization to be contacted is the same as that of the campground. B: Access to the ground, usually from the nearest JR (Japan Railways) Station.

E:Rental charges for a tent, bungalow, lodge, and the like.

  • Number of Foreign Tourists 15,000,000
    Final Report: "Developing the non-Muslim tourist destination for Muslim tourists: A case study of Akita Prefecture, Japan” (Nor Zafir Md Salleh) 1.0 Introduction Islamic Tourism is the type of tourism that adheres to the values of Islam (Al-Hamarneh and Steiner 2004). Although the definition of Islamic tourism looks rigid and confine to the values of Islam, the practice of Islamic tourism around the world is diversified and different from conservative Muslim countries to less conservative Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries. For example, in Saudi Arabia, Islamic tourism means doing tourism the Islamic way such as performing Hajj (Zamani-Farahani and Henderson 2009). In less conservative Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Islamic tourism is considered a tourism product by highlighting the values, history and culture as its unique selling proposition (Henderson 2003). Nonetheless, for non-Muslim countries, Islamic tourism activities are still at embryonic stage where the host countries are providing basic facilities such as Halal food, prayer room and qibla direction in hotel rooms to accommodate the needs of Muslim tourists (www.halalmediajapan.com). In short, there are three categories of Islamic Tourism such as Islamic Tourism for conservative, non-conservative and non-Muslim countries. Given the increasing trend of Muslim travelling worldwide, many of non-Muslim countries such as Japan embarks to provide a comfortable tourist experience for Muslim. The Muslim needs such as a proper place to pray and food have been provided to ensure the convenience of Muslim tourists. For example, at both Narita and Kansai International Airport, there are more prayer rooms being made available for Muslims and the popular Japanese food such as Udon and Ramen are certified Halal so that Muslim tourists could treasure Japanese food (www.halalmediajapan.com).
