  • Japan Is Shrouded in Mystique and Ancient History, and the Perfect Way to Unravel This Enigma Is by Exploring Its Landscape Gardens
    Japan is shrouded in mystique and ancient history, and the perfect way to unravel this enigma is by exploring its landscape gardens. Their basic design is based on capturing the grace and beauty of nature and bringing it into daily life. As simplistic as this may sound, the true magnificence of Japanese gardens is profound. They create soulful, refined and elegant spaces, a humbleness surrounded by nature. Landscape gardening has been an art form in Japan for centuries. Their designs can be put into three distinctive groups, namely hill gardens, dry gardens and tea gardens and can include everything from courtyards to streams and basic, austere spaces to lush, tropical environments. Some are highly groomed, while others look almost wild. The general landscaping theme is based on the principle of minimalist simplicity, including understated contrasts in hues and textures of green, and a near flawless harmony with the elements. This accord is attained through repetition and a semblance of balance. Japanese gardens generally follow several basic design principles: they are hugely reduced in scale, they are enclosed, the angle of view is crucial, they borrow scenery, and they hold balance and symbolism. Most Japanese gardens endeavor to duplicate the environment in miniature. The Japanese garden is a work of living art and a reflection of the Japanese spirit. Nothing is left to chance; every living thing in a garden exists for a reason and stands as a symbol for something else in Japanese culture. A simple garden walkway could reveal to us a part of the richness of Japanese history or its metaphorical significance.

Almost 1,000 large and small islands, with their intricate coastlines amounting to some 7,230km in length, form the beautiful, distinct scenery of the region. A total of 643 different river water sources feed the Sea from the surrounding mountainous watershed , with fifty billion cubic meters flowing into the Sea each year. The region has a mild temperate climate and relatively little rainfall throughout the year compared to other regions of Japan. Typically, the average temperature is 15 ~ 16°C, with The Seto Inland Sea and its watershed area rainfall of 1,000 ~ 1,900mm. 1. Major enclosed coastal seas around population of 127 million.

  • Towards Utilization of Search Keyword Advertising
    A Study on Utilizing Mobile Phone Users’ Location Data in Tourism Masahide Yamamoto Faculty of Foreign Studies Nagoya Gakuin University, Nagoya, Japan Tel: +81-52-678-4080 Ext . 2760, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, so-called “big data” have been attracting the attention of companies and researchers. For example, convenience stores now can quickly predict sales of new products from the enormous amounts of information collected by cash register terminals and thereby optimize their purchases and inventories. Several governments and researchers have implemented such mechanisms in tourism. This study aims to identify the number of visitors of each period and their characteristics based on the location data of mobile phone users collected by the mobile phone company. The study sites of this survey are tourist destinations in Ishikawa Prefecture and Toyama city, including Kanazawa city, which became nationally popular after the Hokuriku Shinkansen opened in 2015. The opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen brought more visitors to many areas. However, it also led to fewer visitors in some areas. The positive effect was remarkable in Kanazawa. Keywords: Mobile phone, Location data, Tourism 1. INTRODUCTION 2. METHOD In Japan, many people have struggled to promote tourism in their regions to vitalize their local economies. This study used “MOBILE KUUKAN TOUKEI™” The low-cost carriers have boosted competition in the (mobile spatial statistics) provided by NTT DoCoMo, Inc. transportation industry, and domestic transportation costs and DoCoMo Insight Marketing, Inc. to collect the location have declined in several regions. Therefore, tourism is data of mobile phone users in order to count the number of likely to become increasingly important to local economies.

  • JAPAN's MOST SPECTACULAR NATIONAL PARKS When You Think
    JAPAN’S MOST SPECTACULAR NATIONAL PARKS When you think of Japan it is often the gigantic megacity of Tokyo that springs to mind along with its bustling technology fuelled society that is so impressive for its ingenuity and innovation. Another well-known image and indeed symbol of Japan is the iconic Mt.Fuji that beautifully rises gracefully towards the heavens. In any case, in comparison with the wide variety of attractions on show, Japan’s national parks often fall somewhat under the radar of visitors to its shores. Natural wonders abound however and the plethora of incredible sights will leave you astounded at the scenic beauty before your eyes. Whether you enjoy secret shrines, natural hot springs, towering peaks, or colorful spring blooms, there's a lot to take in when you visit Japan's national parks. The country’s national park system was first established in 1931, and today, it has 34 distinct preserves, each one offering something unique, compelling, and generally free for all to visit without the need for permits. And while you could spend a lifetime exploring all of the splendidly whimsical islands and cities, we suggest you start with this list. Akan-Mashu National Park is located in eastern Hokkaido. The park is well known for its three beautiful lakes: Lake Akan, Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo. Lake Mashu is of particular fame. Although often covered by mysterious fog, its waters are some of the clearest in the world. The Park is composed of two separate parts. The smaller, western portion contains Lake Akan with the lakeside hot spring resort of Akanko Onsen.

  • Umekita Second Zone (Tentative Name) Development Project Begins
    Umekita Second Zone (Tentative Name) Development Project Begins TOKYO, Japan ‐ March 25, 2020 ‐ The joint venture of nine companies (“JV9”), led by Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., that have been selected to develop the Second Zone in the Umekita Area, announced that their urban planning proposal for the tentatively named Umekita Second Zone Development Project was carefully discussed by the Osaka City City Planning Council today. The proposal is now expected to be confirmed. The project is founded on an urban development philosophy of fusing “midori”—open green space that is easily accessible to everyone—and “innovation.” Leveraging its previous development track record with Grand Front Osaka, the advance development zone project, JV9 will engage in urban development in Umekita that will provide an example to Osaka, to the entire Kansai region, and to the world. Rendering of the completed Umekita Second Zone The image is based on data accurate as of May 2018, and is subject to change ■ 1. Local Access One of the most accessible locations in Osaka ・ Served by seven different stations on 13 different train lines, including JR Osaka Station, Umekita Second Zone boasts outstanding accessibility from the entire Kansai region. It is also within easy reach of domestic and international gateways such as Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Shin‐Osaka Station; as such, on the back of growing numbers of inbound visitors and further regional development and revitalization, it is likely to attract increasing attention both at home and overseas.
