Abstract
In this paper, we will examine the present conditions of green tourism which is spreading to many parts of Japan, and consider the sustainability of green tourism promotion, and some problems thereof from the viewpoint of people engaged in agriculture by making a case study on farm accommodation in Ajimu. In order that green tourism can function as a pillar of regional promotion, it has to be sustainable in relation to commercial agriculture. Farmers reckon that the sustainability of green tourism can be realized by loving their physical space and carrying out activities to form themselves in their records of space. That is to say, the farmers are required to implement ”Green Tourism Agriculture” comprising production of agricultural products, regional promotion and acceptance of visitors or the like. For that purpose, a philosophy of agricultural management should be introduced and the coordination function must be fully utilized.
