Version of Record

This paper, a continuation from the preceding Part 1. presents an attempt to analyse the process by which a national park system was established in Japan in the 1930s. It lays particular emphasis on clarifying the state of the conflicts between tourism and nature conservation in the national parks of Japan during the same decade. The original twelve national parks were opened in the 1930s. This study examines the processes of formation of Akan National Park, Daisetsuan National Park, Towada National Park, and Nikko National Park. The initiative for the foundation of the national parks in Japan was furthered by the National Park Association of Japan mainly as a means for increasing the popularity of tourism. By contrast, however, Towada National Park and Nikko National Park ―especially the Oze area of the latter ―were established in the interests of nature conservation rather than of tourism.
