The number of people who visited Japan decreased four years ago because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but thesedays, it has settled and many foreign tourists started to visit Japan again. They love a wide variety of Japanese comics,
food, and culture. Japan is also attractive for them because it is safe and clean. For these reasons, even more tourists
come to Japan and enjoy its unique culture. Today, not only foreign tourists but also domestic tourists visit many
famous sights all over Japan and they buy many goods and enjoy food there. This may improve Japanese economy.
However, we are also facing many problems because too many people come to one place. For example, people leave
a lot of garbage. Noise and traffic accidents increase when visitors come by car or by bus. The natural environmentis also destroyed. People who live near the place suffer from these problems. This is called “overtourism”.
Overtourism is happening around the world. And it is also a serious problem in Japan.
Kamakura is one example. It is a very famous city for sightseeing and has a lot of places to visit. The local train
called enoden is very popular. Especially, one crossing of enoden is famous because it is used at the beginning of SLAMDUNK. SLAM DUNK is a popular Japanese comic and there are many fans around the world. They come to thecrossing to take pictures of it. At the crossing, they sometimes have traffic accidents because they don’t follow theJapanese traffic rules. Enoden is also very crowded. On some holidays, people have to wait for an hour in long lines
to take trains. This is a big problem for the people living near the stations. Kamakura City is trying hard to solvethese problems. For example, the city put signs written in various languages around the crossing to tell the visitors tofollow the traffic rules. The city also tries to make a special entrance for only local people. However, it hasn’t worked
yet.
Another place which has an overtourism problem is Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji is the highest and the most beautiful
mountain in Japan and one of the world heritage sites. More than 8,000 people climb the mountain in one day. Thetrails are sometimes very crowded, so it takes more time to reach the top. There are no garbage boxes on the trails.
Visitors have to take their garbage back home, but some visitors do not know about this and leave their garbage on themountain. Shizuoka Prefecture is trying hard to reduce garbage on Mt. Fuji. Visitors can get a garbage bag before
they start climbing. The message “Please take your garbage home.” is written in many different languages on the bag,so visitors can learn about the garbage problem happening at Mt. Fuji. There is another overtourism problem at Mt.
Fuji. When many visitors climb Mt. Fuji, some of them do not prepare well. Those people often become sick because
Mt. Fuji is very high. However, there are not enough health centers on the mountain.
In Kyoto, there are many old famous temples and a lot of people visit them, so people living around those temples
have serious overtourism problems. One of the temples called Saihoji has been working on overtourism. The temple
has a beautiful garden, and many people have visited it to enjoy a peaceful time there. More than fifty years ago, people
who lived around the temple suffered from too much noise because so many people visited it. The noise destroyed theirpeaceful lives. The temple and its neighbors wanted to solve this problem. They discussed it many times and triedvarious ways. Finally, Saihoji decided to start the reservation system and told visitors to come in small groups.
Thanks to this system, visitors and the neighbors are sharing a peaceful time.
To solve overtourism, it is important to think about both tourists and local people. Too many rules make visitors
uncomfortable, but we need to save the lives of local people. The example of Saihoji shows us one of the ways to solve
overtourism. It is also important for visitors to try to understand local culture and to be careful about their behavior.

Today, I want to introduce a book, “Night Rainbow” to you. Have you ever heard of or seen a night rainbow? Before
I talk about the book, I will talk about rainbows. When you see a rainbow, how do you feel? Is it a good sign, or a badsign? In Japan, most people probably think it is a positive sign and something good will happen because a rainbow
always appears when a storm passes and the sun comes out of a cloudy sky. A rainbow means hope or good luck inmany parts of the world now.
However, it didn’t have a good meaning in ancient times. In some areas of the world, people thought a rainbow wasa bridge between the world of dead people and the world of living people. They believed the evil spirits were comingback through the bridge. In some Asian countries, people also thought a rainbow was a snake living in the sky. For
example, in Okinawa, people thought “When a rainbow appears, the snake in the sky drinks all the water in the sky so
it won’t rain.” Ancient people were afraid of seeing rainbows because they didn’t know what rainbows were and whyand how they were created. Now we can explain how rainbows are created, so we don’t need to be afraid of them.
Do you know how rainbows are created? When light goes into something, it bends. This is called refraction.
Because of the refraction, we can see rainbows. Rainbows appear when sunlight passes through water droplets in thesky. However, sunlight has no color. So, why do we see seven colors in a rainbow? The color of sunlight is actuallya mix of seven different colors of a rainbow. The sunlight bends through water droplets and splits into different colors.
The refraction lets us see the true colors of the sun; the seven colors of a rainbow. Droplets and sunlight are necessary
to create rainbows, but there is another important condition. Actually, rainbows appear quite often, but we cannot see
them so often in the sky. Our position is really important. We have to stand between the sun and rain to see arainbow. The sun has to be behind us.
One of the best places to see rainbows is Hawaii. It is known as the “Rainbow State” because rainbows appear moreoften there than in any other places. In Hawaii, if you have luck, you may see a rainbow at night. It appears only inthe night sky, so it is called “a moonbow.” It is created by the light from the moon instead of sunlight. Moonbows aremuch fainter and more difficult to see than rainbows because the moon is not as bright as the sun. We can’t catch thecolor of a moonbow clearly, and it may look like a white rainbow. Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. They need very
specific conditions when they are created. A full moon must be near the horizon. The sky should not be too cloudy
and it also has to be very dark without any city lights. A lot of water droplets have to be in the air. Because it is notalways possible to have such conditions, people in Hawaii have thought that seeing a moonbow is a great blessing sinceancient times.
The book “Night Rainbow” is the first photo book of moonbows in the world. Surprisingly, the photographer of thebook is Japanese, Junji Takasago. When he visited Hawaii and heard of moonbows, he traveled around Hawaii to findthem. Just three days later, he saw a moonbow for the first time, and took a picture of it. He became the first person
who could take a perfect picture of a moonbow. Many people tried, but it was too difficult to take them because they
were too rare and too faint. Junji Takasago wanted to share the beautiful nature world with people all over the world.
He tried hard to find moonbows and take photographs of them for three years. In 2003, he produced his book, “NightRainbow.” Through this beautiful photo book, we can see the beautiful nature of Hawaii and realize that there’s somuch beauty to be found in nature on this precious planet. I would like you to enjoy it through his book.
