ECOLOGIC to develop ecotourism

Ecologic is a travel agency located in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which develops ecotourism businesses in Japan and overseas that incorporate the unique charms of the region, such as the natural environment and historical culture. Through ecotourism, we support the development of ecotourism not only in Fujinomiya, but also in countries around the world, with the mission of “protecting the world’s diverse natural environments, local cultures, and the dignity of people.”

Mr. Masanori Shintani, the representative of Ecologic, was the first Japanese person to be involved in ecotourism projects on the island of Hawaii, and is also one of the pioneers of ecotourism in Japan. He has worked as an eco tour guide and consultant in Japan and overseas, and established Ecologic in 2008. By March 2021, he is supporting developing countries in 14 countries as an ecotourism expert at international organizations such as JICA.

Aiming for a sustainable society, Ecologic provides ecotourism development support and interpretation (tourist guide) training in countries around the world, as well as inbound ecotours, glamping, and SDGs training in Mt. Fuji and Fujinomiya.

The company provides the following services in cooperation with various stakeholders such as local residents, government agencies, researchers, and NGOs. Tourism development support such as formulation of tourism master plans and guidelines, discovery of tourism resources, human resource development, guide training, planning and development of regional sightseeing tours, inbound tour planning, facility design, exhibition design, and teaching material creation.

Interpretation is a communication technique that leaves a lasting impression. It is a guiding technique that conveys the important message behind it through explanations, exhibits, educational materials, books, etc., and provides people with enjoyment, excitement, and awareness. This method is widely used as an effective technique in various fields, and Ecologic conducts interpretation training not only in Japan but also around the world.

Ecotourism and sustainable tourism provided by Ecologic are linked to all 17 SDGs. Training targets include short-term overseas dispatches and English training for employees, and English-language training centered on interpretation for university students in Japan and overseas. As for training facilities, his SDGs training (Japanese or English) is held at Mt. Fuji Satoyama Vacation upon request.

Mt. Fuji is a symbol of Japan and is highly valued for its intangible values such as Japanese mountain worship, view of nature, and cultural significance. The local ecological logic communicates the nature of Mt. Fuji and the intangible cultural value of Fujinomiya to the world, acting as an interpreter of the hearts of the local people.

Private glamping provided by Ecologic where you can enjoy the seasonal views of Mt. Fuji and Satoyama. The glamping we are aiming for is not a resort that brings in the city life surrounded by gorgeous furniture, but the theme is “harmony”, “human harmony” and “Japanese harmony”.
