  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A Regression Analysis of Trends in Population Changes in Tourist Destinations: Using Keyword Search Volume and Statistical Population Data
    Journal of Global Tourism Research, Volume 4, Number 2, 2019 Original Article A regression analysis of trends in population changes in tourist destinations: Using keyword search volume and statistical population data Masahide Yamamoto (Faculty of Foreign Studies, Nagoya Gakuin University, [email protected]) Abstract This study uses “Mobile Kukan Toukei™” (MOBILE SPATIAL STATISTICS) to identify the number of visitors in different periods at specific tourist destinations. Mobile Kukan Toukei is statistical population data created by the operational data of mobile phone networks. The service makes it possible to estimate the population structure of a region by gender, age, and residential area. In ad- dition, it attempts to demonstrate an alternative method to infer the number of visitors in specific areas more accurately. The various interests of tourists influence their keyword search before or during travel, and ultimately emerge as some kind of trend in a specific keyword’s search volume. By connecting the Mobile Kukan Toukei and keyword search volume, linear equations could be derived. These findings could lead to a model to forecast tourism demand in a destination. Keywords However, the industry still faces three challenges. The first mobile phone, statistical population data, keyword search vol- involves overcoming a regional gap.
