Ecotourism is a new tourism to have responsibility for nature environment, history and culture in local areas as well as enjoying them. If nature environment, history and culture in local
areas are conserved and sustainably used, ecotourism could lead to the regional activation. Finding and experiencing potential local pros are pleasures of ecotours.
However, due to overuse of resources, ecotour sites may be damaged and their value may be lost accordingly. It is essential for us to have a responsible attitude and keep to the rules to
conserve the natural environment, history and culture of the local areas.
On ecotours, it is also necessary to be aware that ‘we are also part of nature’. For example, we conduct the finless porpoise watching program as part of our ecotour activities, but we are
not always able to watch finless porpoises if we visit the areas where they are unlikely to appear. Sometimes, tour plans may have to be changed due to climate. On ecotours, we can
give ourselves to nature, and this is the trick to enjoying ecotours.
We are most grateful if participants enjoy ecotours and are aware of the following points:
Pay respect to nature and enjoy ecotours
Do not capture or collect wild animals or plants to conserve them
Do not bring exotic species with you
Do not enter designated districts for conserving wild animals and plants
Do not feed wild animals
Fully prepare to join ecotours (Necessary things for participating in ecotours are listed on this homepage before the start of ecotours)
Bring back garbage
