As the number of foreign tourists increases, transportation and hotels' multilingual displays are no longer enough. This book helps students of tourism science rethink how places use language to create a more advanced, tourism-friendly culture. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRegardless if from overseas or Japan, effective communication can majorly affect a person’s experience when traveling. The authors of this book went to sightseeing spots around Japan to examine how language supports travelers and what needs to be improved. Chapters focus on general topics such as signage and also language for specific areas such as mountain trails or traditional inns. Detailed analyses on entire regions provide a new perspective on tourism linguistics. Niseko and Amami, found on completely opposite sides of Japan, are fascinating settings for case studies on how a linguistic landscape affects travel in the regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSection two details language policies implemented in tourism regions across Japan and important events such as the 1964 Olympics.
