Description

<p>This article reviews Japanese research papers and articles addressing tourism phenomena related to the Olympic and Paralympic Games to generate future research perspectives. In Japan, the research is divided into the eight topics of: Tourism Policy; Tourism Planning; Development of Urban Amenities and Infrastructure; Business, Systems, and Developmentalism; Public Consensus and Opinion; Tourism Divergence; Economic Cost and Impact; and Tourism Education. Compared with the English-language research reviewed in Getz and Page (2016), the topic of Tourism Education appears to be mentioned more often in the Japanese literature. Thus, Japanese tourism education research, especially considering the singularity of unique Japanese hospitality characteristics, needs to be more open internationally to publicize the results. In addition, research from a tourism marketing perspective, which is common in the English literature, is needed to emphasize global information exchanges on Japanese Olympic hosting and tourism research development.</p>
