'Japanese Tourism and Travel Culture presents a fascinating]...[exploration of Japanese tourism culture. Though clearly geared toward researchers, the articles are on the whole relatively brief, and many could usefully be used as readings in undergraduate courses covering comparative tourism cultures' - Lonny E. Carlile, Annals of Tourism Research 37 (2010)
