Japan has become part of a widespread phenomenon, joining 30 other
countries in the pursuit of whale watching. Worldwide in 1991,
more than 4 million people went whale watching. In Japan whale
watching occurs in seven different parts of the country, all in
areas of great natural beauty. Like the best tours in other countries,
Japanese whale watching combines a measure of science and education
with recreation. It is also good business.
