Eco-tourism attraction in northern Japan
Monday, September 28, 2009Eco tours in the northern part of Japan have been highlighted as a potential travel trip for those visiting the Asian country.
According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO), a visit to Hokkaido could be an ideal for those who want to connect with the natural world.
Those on Japan holidays can use this part of the country as a base to explore other regions.
One place the tourist group advises people to visit is Shiretoko - a registered World Natural Heritage Site - where tourists can experience an ecological system containing "innumerable precious animals and plants".
Northern Japan may be the imaginative traveller's destination of choice because of its climate.
JNTO claims that the summers are "refreshing" and lacking in humidity, while wintertime brings opportunities to go skiing or see the drift ice.
Meanwhile, a large percentage of the imaginative travellers who fly to Japan from Britain each year investigate Mount Fuji - one of the country's most famous tourist attractions.
