（神戸学院大学）

The number of tourists from overseas to Japan is increasing year

アyear. In 2016 the total

reached the government’s targeted number of 20,000,000. Travel agencies had made various plans forthese non-Japanese, and hotels and restaurants provide these people with dishes depending on eachnationalities’ tastes. These efforts have been successful, and many non-Japanese have visited Japan
more than once.
Then, can ordinary Japanese citizens react (イ)appropriately to international tourists? Many Japanese
university students have experience just answering, “I don’t know” when asked about the way to aninternational tourist destination. “I don’t know” sounds unfriendly, especially to non-Japanese people
who come from a country where many people are friendly to strangers.
So, what would these foreigners reply if they were put in the reverse situation? For example, whenasked about the way to a sightseeing spot, they would say something like, “I’ve visited it before, but(ウ)the directions were so complicated that I took a roundabout route.” Also, when asked about a bus

stop, they would reply by saying something like, “I often see buses run along this road, but I haveno idea where the bus stop is. I commute to the office by car. I’ll ask someone else who lives here.”
Besides that, when asked about the way to a hotel, they might say, “It’s a long way from here. Would
you like me to call a taxi for you?” After you recognize that friendly non-Japanese are used to having
this kind of conversation, try to imagine how they would feel to hear your response. You will becomeaware that you should at least say, “I’m afraid I’m aエhere myself.” If you have some freetime, you are expected to say, “I’ll ask someone else. Wait a moment, please,” or “I’m going the sameway, so I’ll take you there.”
When communicating with international tourists, it is not enough to convey accurate information
briefly. While taking into account that they expect a friendly attitude from Japanese people, you needto come up with words which are suitable for each situation.
