  • Disempowering Minority Communities: Tourism Development in the Siwa Oasis, Egypt

    Mina Kamal Asham, Kumi Kato, Adam Doering

    TOURISM PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT ( ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD )    2022.03

    　View Summary

    Tourism planning and development is a complex, multifaceted, and highly politicised phenomenon, particularly in the context of economic development for rural minority communities. This paper discusses such a case in the context of a remote rural community, Siwa Oasis in the western desert of Egypt, which was one of the destinations identified in the development policy termed Infitah, or "openness" in the early 1970s. As part of a long-term project, this article examines how community members perceive tourism development and its effects on their livelihoods, specifically from gender perspective. Findings show that the government development policy in effect resulted resulted in Siwan seeking to protect their identity, including values associated with traditional gender relations, where women are considered to be the safeguards of domestic duties, child-raising, and minority languages, providing empirical evidence on how development can be "closing" rather than "opening" opportunities, disempowering rather than empowering.

  • In search of light: Ecohumanities, tourism and Fukushima’s post-disaster resurgence

    Adam Doering, Kumi Kato

    Socialising Tourism: Rethinking Tourism for Social and Ecological Justice     175 - 194   2021.01

    　View Summary

    In its simplest form the Japanese character (hikari) means light. The character is also included in the compound (kanko), meaning tourism or more literally “to see the light”. In this chapter, we approach post-disaster Fukushima in search of new light. Situating human-environment relations at the centre of our analysis, our aim is to illuminate the creativity of people and communities whose care and compassion animates the ongoingness of life as they seek to reconnect with their lands and seas. Inspired by the ecohumanities, we offer an affirmative, creative and exploratory ethos/methodology for scholars and practitioners of socialising tourism to consider, drawing attention to the importance of this life-affirming approach for post-disaster tourism environments. To give texture to this discussion, we share stories of how Fukushima communities are rebuilding a sense of dwelling with the land and sea in two settings: the creative and artistic tourism undertaken in central Nakadori Region around Iitate Village and the post-disaster surf tourism developments at Kitaizumi Beach in Minamisoma City. We argue that in addition to situating people and communities at the centre of tourism decision-making, similar attention needs to be paid to the often invisible, fragile and yet foundational relations between people and their lands and seas if we hope to build more ecologically just tourism futures.

  • Tourism research on Japan - overview of major trends: Japanese and english- language materials

    Yumiko Horita, Kumi Kato

    Tourism Development in Japan: Themes, Issues and Challenges ( Taylor and Francis )    19 - 46   2020.01

    　View Summary

    In this chapter, research articles and books on tourism and Japan published in both Japanese and English are reviewed based on online databases. In Japanese, 2, 463 books and 727 government publications (1940-2016), and 471 articles published in two journals (1961-2015) are identified, and in English, 21 books and 7 book chapters (1983-2013), and 224 articles in 97 journal titles (1975-2016) are examined. The review had two aims: to identify main research trends in Japan and globally, and to examine how the overall theme of this special issue - regions, communities and places in Japan - are portrayed (or not) in the existing studies within the materials located with the keyword tourism or kankō (in Japanese). General trends and specific aspects are identified and explored independently as well as comparatively between Japanese and English language publications, providing an overview of, and potential future directions in, this field of study.

  • Pilgrimage tourism in regional communities: The case of Tanabe City and Kumano Kodo

    Ricardo Nicolas Progano, Kumi Kato

    Tourism Development in Japan: Themes, Issues and Challenges ( Taylor and Francis )    160 - 178   2020.01

    　View Summary

    Spiritually motivated travel, specifically pilgrimage, has been an important part of tourism in Japan, and nowadays carries a much wider connotation beyond religion including health, wellness and self-improvement. Pilgrims, especially those travelling on foot, have specific interests closely related to sustainability and this mode of travel, which may be defined as slow tourism, helps shape the kinds of tourism services provided by surrounding communities as well as direct destination planning and development. This can be observed in the case of the World Heritage nominated pilgrimage trail, the Kumano-kodo in Wakayama. Making reference to the evolving meaning of spirituality and tourism both globally and in Japan, this chapter explores the significance of today’s spiritualities in destination management from the perspective of local communities. This is part of an ongoing study that employs critical and hopeful tourism perspectives as a platform, situating spirituality as a basis for sustainability and advocating slow engagement with local place and its people.

  • Introduction: Tourism in Japan - from the past to the present

    Richard Sharpley, Kumi Kato

    Tourism Development in Japan: Themes, Issues and Challenges ( Taylor and Francis )    1 - 18   2020.01

    　View Summary

    The purpose of this introductory chapter is to establish the context for the book through a review of the historical development of tourism in Japan to the present day combined with a discussion of relevant policies. Commencing with evidence of the remarkable growth in international tourism to Japan over the last two decades and a discussion of the policies underpinning such growth, it goes on to consider the evolution and growth of tourism in Japan, and associated policies and processes, in four distinct periods: the early years up to the Meiji Restoration (1868)
    the period of domestic tourism expansion up to the Pacific War
    the post-war years through to the 1990s
    and 1997 to the present, a period defined by the rapid growth in inbound tourism. The chapter concludes with an overview of the book’s content.

  • Confronting difficult pasts: The case of ‘kamikaze’ tourism

    Richard Sharpley, Kumi Kato

    Tourism Development in Japan: Themes, Issues and Challenges ( Taylor and Francis )    179 - 199   2020.01

    　View Summary

    Reflecting the growing body of research into what is broadly referred to as ‘dark tourism’, it has come to be recognized that tourism may represent a potentially effective means of confronting difficult or ‘dark’ histories. That is, dark tourism sites offer the opportunity for stakeholders - victims, perpetrators, local communities and visitors/outsiders - to confront death, suffering or dark events/periods in their or a nation’s history, with dark sites adopting a ‘mediating’ role. This chapter explores the manner in which the controversial Kamikaze strategy is commemorated in contemporary Japan. Framed within the concept of dissonant heritage, it explores the extent to which the commemoration and interpretation of the kamikaze might promote mutual understanding, reconciliation and peace through two case studies: the Chiran Peace Museum and the relatively unknown Uzurano airfield near Kasai, where young kamikaze pilots were trained. In so doing, it reveals a dominant revisionist narrative of heroic willing sacrifice and a significant degree of dissonance but also opportunities for confronting a difficult past through both domestic and international tourism at Uzurano.

  • Gender and sustainability - exploring ways of knowing - an ecohumanities perspective

    Kumi Kato

    JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM ( CHANNEL VIEW PUBLICATIONS )  27 ( 7 ) 939 - 956   2019.07  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This article takes up the challenge to apply critical enquiry to the interface between tourism and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Applying a political ecology perspective, it examines the intersectionality of gender and (ocean) sustainability through a study of traditional women divers in Japan. Recognizing the SDGs as an agenda setting platform, this work engages with Goal 5: Gender Equality, and proposes that engaging with multiple and diverse ways of knowing is critical to promoting a sustainability agenda with gender perspectives an essential component. Employing ecohumanities as a methodological foundation, a qualitative study of women divers in Japan (ama) is reported with a focus on their particular relationship with the ocean. The study identifies the power of women's knowledge in its inclusiveness, reciprocity and intuitive way of knowing. The example also shows that while tourism can be an important social and economic force, it can also devalue these core qualities as a result of the negative impacts caused by gender stereotypes. These findings indicate that the sustainability agenda can be advanced by challenging hierarchical systems of knowledge and valuing alternative ways of knowing, in this case, women's knowledges.

  • SPIRITUALITY AND TOURISM IN JAPANESE PILGRIMAGE SITES: EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION THROUGH THE CASE OF KUMANO KODO

    Ricardo Nicolas Progano, Kumi Kato

    FIELDWORK IN RELIGION ( EQUINOX PUBLISHING LTD )  13 ( 1 ) 22 - 43   2018  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Contemporary society understands spirituality as an individualized "quest of self-discovery and reflection" that combines eclectic elements, while disregarding traditional religious organizations. This social context has shaped how sacred sites are managed and promoted in tourism, as well as tourist motivation and behaviour. Still, the information on religious and spiritual-related tourism remains Euro-centric, although around half of an estimated 600 million religious and spiritual travels take place in Asia and the Pacific (UNWTO 2011). In order to contribute to studies on the area, the purpose of this article is to explore the intersection of spirituality and tourism in a non-Western pilgrimage site utilizing the three categories of Olsen (2015) to interpret and organize research materials in a coherent format. The Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trails in Japan were selected as case study. Results showed a variety of Japanese-specific research materials related to contemporary spirituality and tourism that still draw some parallels to the West. Following Olsen's categories, the case study showed mainly elements from spiritual tourism, with some from New Age tourism as well. Wellness was a particularly emphasized characteristic. Further research is suggested to develop Olsen's categorization and to deepen the study of non-Western tourism contexts of contemporary spirituality in different areas.

  • Debating Sustainability in Tourism Development: Resilience, Traditional Knowledge and Community: A Post-disaster Perspective

    Kumi Kato

    TOURISM PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT ( ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD )  15 ( 1 ) 55 - 67   2018  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper proposes resilience as a foundation for sustainability, and sustainable tourism development, identifying that resilience relates to place-based knowledge and senses originating from human-land interaction over a long period of time. A specific case drawn here is the post-disaster recovery phase in rural communities, following the devastation that overwhelmed the northern east coast of Japan on 11 March 2011. Disaster-resilience, although stated as a priority in many of the governmental reconstruction visions, is not easily defined or facilitated. This paper attempts to locate disaster-resilience in the context of sustainable tourism development, through cases of coastal communities in Iwate Prefecture on the Sanriku Coast in their early phase of recovery. With social sustainability-oriented tourism concepts and resilience planning as a framework, the paper argues that the tourism development in the early recovery is vital in assisting communities maintain their connection with their places, which is argued to be the core of resilience. Such resilience is closely related to traditional ecological knowledge found in personal stories, monuments, folktales, literature and arts. This, it is proposed, lays a foundation for a sustainable recovery and reconstruction, in which tourism can play a vital role. This in return asserts tourism's responsibility in advocating sustainability.

Referring to the evolving meaning of spirituality and tourism globally and in Japan, the paper explores the significance of today's spiritualities in destination management from local communities' perspectives. This is part of an ongoing study that employs critical and hopeful tourism perspectives as a platform, situating spirituality as a basis for sustainability and advocating slow engagement with local place and its people.

    　View Summary

    If, as according to Robin (2015: online), "islands are idealised ecological worlds, the Edens of a fallen planet'", the rationale underpinning tourism expansion should acknowledge MacLeod's (2013) notion of "cultural realignment" that calls for optimal and resilient encounters. This introductory article to the subsequent theme section of the journal on sustainable tourism acts as a bridge toward the development of emergent themes that describe how island peoples adapt and respond in localised cultural islandscapes as a consequence of tourism expansion. The links between cultural alignment and social-ecological resilience are clear and the principal and overarching question posed in this introductory article is: To what extent are islandscapes resilient to rapidly changing utilities, significances and ways of life wrought by tourism expansion? The vulnerability-resilience duality remains firmly entrenched in the discourse on islands where tourism has become prominent, and although tourism provides some resiliency, overall, islandscapes remain subject to externally driven fast and slow change that exercises an overwhelming influence. Islander agency will likely remain subject to the fluctuations in the demands of the tourism supply chain. Therefore, tourism as a standalone focus of islands is a high-risk proposition, especially in contexts where externally driven change is likely to intensify.

  • Australia's whaling discourse: global norm, green consciousness and identity

    Kumi Kato

    JOURNAL OF AUSTRALIAN STUDIES ( ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD )  39 ( 4 ) 477 - 493   2015.10  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper reviews the evolution of Australia's whaling discourse as it has appeared in Australian popular non-print media from the early 1900s to the early 2000s. Language and images from over 380 items (including films, television and radio reports, and home movies) were used to examine the formation of the anti-whaling idea, in which the media is considered to have played a significant role. The study was inspired by the nature of the current global whaling debate, which has become polarised politically and socially. Australia opposes whaling nations, primarily Japan. Significantly, Australia made a rapid transition to an anti-whaling nation once its own whaling industry terminated in 1979; its discourse now belongs to the globally dominant norm, in which whales have come to symbolise a strong green consciousness and identity. Such consciousness, framed as specific to the West, shapes the pro-whaling and counter-hegemonic or anti-anti-whaling stance taken by Japan. Reviewing the discourse, I have analysed how whales have positioned Australia in relation to the whaling issue and to environmentalism, while referring to the interplay between globality and language, and aiming to provide some insight into the current controversy.

    Kumi Kato

    International Journal of Cultural Property   14   283 - 313   2007  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Kayoiura, located at the most easterly point of Omijima Island, Nagato City, Japan, is a small fishing village where community-based coastal whaling took place from late 1600 to early 1900. Today, more than 100 years since the end of whaling, the community maintains a number of cultural properties, both tangible and intangible, dedicated to the spirits of whales, including prayers for the whales given daily by two elderly Buddhist nuns. This article suggests that these cultural properties convey the former whaling community's ethics and spirituality with a strong sense of reciprocity that acknowledges the undeniable human dependency on other lives. It is argued that such spirituality has an important implication for our understanding of sustainability. Whaling is no doubt one of the most contentious issues in today's environmental debates, where divisive arguments collide over a wide range of issues. Although any study on whaling would play a role in the debate, this article's intention is elsewhere: to acknowledge the importance of ethics and spirituality as intangible cultural heritage and their role in sustainability debate. © 2007, International Cultural Property Society.

  • Community, connection and conservation: Intangible cultural values in natural heritagethe case of Shirakami-sanchi world heritage area

    Kumi Kato

    International Journal of Heritage Studies   12 ( 5 ) 458 - 473   2006.09  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Intangible cultural heritage, according to a UNESCO definition, is 'the practices, representations, expressions as well as the knowledge and skills that communities, groups and in some cases individuals recognise as part of their cultural heritage'. Using a case study of Shirakami-sanchi World Heritage Area, this paper illustrates how the local community's conservation commitment was formed through their long-term everyday interactions with nature. Such connectivity is vital to maintaining the authentic integrity of a place that does not exclude humans. An examination of the formation of the community's conservation commitment for Shirakami reveals that it is the community's spiritual connection and place-based identity that have supported conservation, leading to the World Heritage nomination, and it is argued that the recognition of such intangible cultural heritage is vital in conservation. The challenge, then, is how to communicate such spiritual heritage today. Forms of community involvement are discussed in an attempt to answer this question.

    　View Summary

    This paper explores how 'a culture' in classroom may differ from one context to another, and how such differences may affect teaching and learning, using a case study that examined differences between Japanese and Australian classrooms. The characteristics of the two 'cultures' were examined through the perspective of Japanese and Australian high school exchange students who spent extended periods of time studying in their host country. Discussions are then made on the implications of the findings for teachers beginning to teach in a new culture, and the importance of 'cultural compatibility' in teacher effectiveness is addressed. This study is the first part of a three-stage research into the classroom difficulties experienced by native-speaker Japanese language teachers, and how cultural differences actually related to the teachers' difficulties is reported elsewhere. © 2001, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

  • Tourism development in Japan: Themes, issues and challenges

    Richard Sharpley, Kumi Kato

    Tourism Development in Japan: Themes, Issues and Challenges ( Taylor and Francis )    1 - 282   2020.01

    　View Summary

    This significant and timely volume focuses on the unique trajectory of tourism development in Japan, which has been characterized by an historical emphasis on promoting both domestic and international tourism to Japanese tourists, followed by the more recent policy of competing aggressively in the international incoming tourist market. Initial chapters present an overview of past and present tourism, including policy and research perspectives. Thematic perspectives on tourism and specific contexts and places in which tourism occurs are then examined. Strains of Japanese tourism such as sport, surf, forest, mountain, urban, tea, pilgrimage and even whaling heritage tourism are among those analyzed. The book also explores tourism’s role in confronting difficult pasts and presents, and the challenges facing the development of tourism in contemporary Japan. A short postscript outlines some of the challenges and possible future directions tourism in Japan may take in light of the COVID-19 crisis. Written by a team of well-known editors and contributors, including academics from Japan, this volume will be of great interest to upper-students and researchers and academics in development studies, cultural studies, geography and tourism.

    Kumi Kato

    Environmentalist   28 ( 2 ) 148 - 154   2008.06

    　View Summary

    A commitment to conservation of a place is based on the sense of place expressed by its "conceptual community", including those who are not its residents in the geographical sense, but who nonetheless identify with it for various reasons. With the global nature of environmental issues being clearly recognized, such communities form a "terrain of consciousness" (Berg and Dasmann 1978), extending responsibility for conservation across cultures, time and space. Although the social mobility and diversity brought about by today's technology often work against the development of a sense of place, they also allow the formation of such conceptual communities, who can highlight local distinctiveness while at the same time positioning local issues in a global context, so generating a sense of global responsibility. In the case of Tasmania, Australia, recent international interest in its ecologically and culturally significant places, such as Recherche Bay and the Styx Valley, has intensified the focus on forest issues, building on Tasmania's already well-recognized history of environmentalism. It is important that these issues be recognized in Japan in particular, where a rising awareness about climate change and mass consumerism has alerted the public to the problem of deforestation; however the fact that Tasmania is one of the major sources of woodchips for paper production is not widely known. Awareness by the consumer, it is argued, is a foundation for forming a sense of global responsibility and it is necessary to form a conceptual community of those committed to the same issue. Cross-cultural collaboration is therefore necessary, and creativity can be an effective facilitating agent for this. This paper illustrates this point, through the example of the Kodama Forest, a forest of tree spirits, in North East Tasmania, that arose from such a collaboration between a group of Japanese students and a local community group. The collaboration also facilitated meaningful learning opportunities for the students, who chose to study in Tasmania because of its natural environment. The forest now provides a cultural heritage that also defines the evolution of this conceptual community through on-going collaboration. The importance of human connection at all levels, local, regional and global, in promoting environmental sustainability is addressed through the example of this forest. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
