dc.description.abstract | This study explores into Japanese cultural meaning of nature. The paper
studies Japanese domestic tourists to a mountain trail near Tokyo. East Asian concept
of nature distinctively identifies itself as a unity between nature and humanity.
To gain a more defining understanding of Shintoism-inspired meaning of nature,
we surveyed on the meaning of nature, experiences and benefits sought and type
of things they wanted to see during their visit. Two-stage content analysis identify
two themes that are indicative characteristics of Shintoism; woods/forests and Kami
(gods). While there is shared notion of nature within the East Asian meaning of nature,
Japanese appear to have Shintoism-influenced concept of nature, distinct from
other East Asian countries. Implications for future research are provided. | en_US |
