Planning of Town Development through Tourism for Keino Matsubara

Abstract

Keino Matsubara was designated as a national cultural asset, "Scenic Beauty", in 1928, and is a national park with many landscapes such as pine forests with green pines and other vegetation growing among white sand. It also features a beach for swimming and a campsite, making it a popular location for tourists. However, since the number of tourists has been declining in recent years, it is necessary to create a plan for town development through tourism that restores prosperity while simultaneously preserving the environment. In this report, we get an understanding of the actual use of Keino Matsubara by tourists visiting the area, open a resident workshop based on that understanding, and provide direction for tourism-based town development.
