Green Tourism in Japan

Green Tourism in Japan refers to tours providing the opportunity to stay in an agricultural, mountain or fishing village, where travellers can enjoy a holiday face-to-face with the attractive natural environment and culture of Japan, engaging in hands-on experiences in agricultural and fishing communities as well as interacting with local inhabitants. Japan is blessed with four seasons and those seasons provide "climates" in each of the regions of Japan that have nurtured unique traditions, culture and lifestyles.

There are also specific "seasons" in each region where the local produce tastes its best or the scenery is at its most splendid and Japanese people have come to make the most out of those seasons. Urban areas may have increased in Japan, but the unique climates and seasons remain in the lifestyles of the agricultural, mountain and fishing villages of Japan. Green tourism that visits these locations can truly be said to be a journey through which travelers can experience the real Japan to the fullest.
