Signs for tourists!

by Kazu

We found a small Shinto shrine beside the wooden deck of the trail in Jigokudani "Hell Vally". It is for the safe trip of the tourists who visit the valley and for avoiding sudden eruption of the area.

Even now, after the lift of the state of emergency, we have to keep the safe distance with others and avoid making crowded situation. For the sustainable tourism in Hokkaido, it should be required as well.

Keeping quiet during the meals is also required to enjoy the tourism forever. But relaxing is one of the most preferable effect of tourissm. It may be difficult to ask the tourists to change the behavior.
