Research

We aim to establish a tourism science that allows researchers, mainly from the fields of science and engineering, to apply the perspectives of their own fields to the very broad research subject of tourism, but also to discuss the topic comprehensively across disciplinary boundaries. Our research is conducted by a diverse group of faculty and staff, mainly from the fields of science and engineering. In addition to specialized research topics rooted in each individual's field, we also conduct many interdisciplinary collaborative research projects that can only be realized in this course and field, where researchers from a variety of fields come together.
