This essay focuses on Japanese tourism to, as well as tourism planning and promotion for, three continental destinations, Mukden, Nanjing, and Qufu, from 1938 to 1943. Both governmental and civil actors rapidly exploited existing heritage from previous civilizations and also codified new heritage (e.g., battle sites) in order to promote tourism and also to propagate an edifying message about Japan’s imperial project. Analysis of tourism to and tourism promotion for the above three locales also provides a window into Imperial Japan’s complex relationship at the time with the overlapping heritages of Manchuria or Manchurian China (Mukden), contemporary China (Nanjing), and classical China (Qufu), as well as into Imperial Japan’s self-appointed role as the guardian of Asian civilization.}, pages = {171--200}, title = {Japanese Tourism to Mukden, Nanjing, and Qufu, 1938–1943}, volume = {27}, year = {2014} }
