    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.

    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.

    The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: an Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen

    〈金沢星稜大学論集 第 54 巻 第 1 号 令和 2 年 9 月〉 1 The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: An Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen Takashi AOKI 1. Introduction The opening of the bullet train or Hokuriku Shinkansen from Nagano to Kanazawa in March in 2015, which directly connects to Tokyo, has had important positive effects in Ishikawa Prefecture, such as the increase in the number of visitors to the area. However, this development has negatively influenced some industries in Ishikawa. In particular, the number of airline passengers between Tokyo (Haneda Airport) and Ishikawa (Komatsu Airport) has decreased after the opening, and the number of Komatsu–Handa (KH) flights also decreased from 12 flights per day before 2014 to 10 flights per day after 2016. Because planners expected the reduction in the number of KH flights and implemented various measures to maintain the level of service offered. Such measures have ensured the operation of 10 KH flights per day at present, but the expansion of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Tsuruga (Fukui Prefecture, next to Ishikawa Prefecture) from Kanazawa in the spring of 2023 may cause further negative impacts on the number of flights and passengers. However, accidents in the Hokuriku Shinkansen in those areas could result in the train shutting down for many days—a real problem that already occurred in 2019. Therefore, KH flights are expected to be continued due to risk management concerns about the area’s transportation system and the related economic aspects. Based on the validity of KH flights, this paper analyzes the effects on KH flights influenced by the Hokuriku Shinkansen Kanazawa opening and the extension to Tsuruga.
