Economically developed, rural tourism is a hot spot with a good prospect.

2. Development of rural tourism in Japan

I. Status of Japan's geriatric industry. Elderly industry is a generalized concept that refers to enterprises and sectors that provide products and services for the elderly population. It covers a wide range of industries that meet the needs of the elderly population in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment and medical care. It can be broadly categorized into the following five types: (1) The field of manufacturing goods for the elderly refers to a variety of machinery, machines, and so on. Mainly consume the elderly. (2) The field of senior living and care services can generally be divided into two major markets: senior services and institutionalized elderly care. (3)Real estate for the elderly, including the construction of retirement communities, senior citizen apartments, social welfare homes, nursing homes, nursing homes, convalescent homes, geriatric care homes, and senior citizen service centers [], as well as the renovation of existing senior citizen homes. (4) The field of financial insurance for the elderly, including investment management of financial assets for the elderly and various types of insurance for the elderly. (5) The field of leisure services for the elderly, such as tourism, culture and sports, and vocational learning. These five areas not only span the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, but also have different formation periods and development processes. The market is the basis for industrial development, and the needs of the elderly depend on the size of the elderly population, their income level and propensity to consume. In terms of the size of the elderly population, although Japan is not the first country to age, it is the fastest aging country; with a total population of 126.9 million in 2000, the proportion of people over 65 years of age was as high as 17.4%, and it will be the first in the world to break the 20% mark in 2006, and will reach 25% in 2015. In terms of income level, the per capita income of elderly households in 1999 was 2,187,000 yen, which is comparable to that of ordinary households, and the average amount of assets was about 42,506,000 yen, which is among the highest in developed countries. In addition, since elderly families generally do not spend U.S. education and mortgages on their children, they are actually wealthier than people think. According to relevant statistics and forecasts, the consumption of the population over 60 years of age, which accounted for 13% of the consumer market in 1980, increased by 18% in 1990, was about 24% in 2000, and will rise to 36% in 2010. Table 1 shows the temporal evolution of the older population and its share of consumption. It shows that, although old age is still regarded as synonymous with poverty in some countries, the consumption level of older persons in Japan is not inferior to that of other age groups and has even surpassed the latter since the late 1990s. A similar situation is not limited to Japan. For example, in the late 1980s, the Deputy Secretary of State for Health and Social Security in the United Kingdom asserted that we were in the "age of the wop".

Asahi Life. the aging market in the 21st century [J]. Economic Monthly, No. 203. Looking at the U.S. aging industry from the development process in Japan, the 1970s was the embryonic period, and the 1980s and 1990s were the formative years. Especially in the late 1990s, many large-scale enterprises, starting from diversification and market segmentation strategies and relying on their technological and financial advantages, entered various fields of the aging market one after another, greatly improving their aging products and offerings. At present, Japan's U.S. aging industry has industrial constituent elements in terms of market scale, social function, specialization of practitioners and production technology and equipment. And has entered the expansion period, the industry scale is about 39 trillion yen. After that, it will grow steadily at a rate of 4-5% per year, and become a pillar industry with a huge scale of 112-155 trillion yen (equivalent to about 1 trillion U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate) by 2025. Table 2 compares the aging industry with related industries, and the results show that (1) compared with the environmental protection industry, the silver industry will be a green industry, although both are emerging industries in the 21st century. (2) Compared with the civil construction industry D, the latter had been

Because of this, in the face of a prolonged economic downturn, the Japanese government is looking forward to the aging market. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, "21st Century Economic and Industrial Policy Issues and Prospects" No. report emphasized that the promotion of the aging industry and IT industry will drive the Japanese economy out of the doldrums in the first 25 years of the 21st century to achieve an average annual economic growth rate of 2% is possible.

Japanese U.S. Policies Related to the Elderly Industry. Although Japan is a market economy, the central government's influence on the economy and business management is far stronger than in other developed countries.The rapid economic growth of the 1960s and 1970s was due in large part to its industrial policy and administrative guidance []. Similarly. the 80s and 90s according to the maturity of the needs of the elderly and the development of various fields of the aging industry is one of the successful experiences of Japan's aging industrial policy in phases to introduce relevant policy measures.1. The main policy measures before the 1990s were analyzed according to the introduction period and policy objectives. Most of the policy measures introduced in the 1970s and 1980s originated from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which is in charge of social welfare and other affairs []. At this time, Japan had not long entered an aging society, and the social welfare services that had long been undertaken by government departments were increasingly unable to meet the needs of the elderly. Due to the low barrier to entry for the institutionalized elderly care industry, some small and medium-sized enterprises eager to enter the aging market first targeted the institutionalized elderly care industry. For this reason, the Japanese government has experienced a from licensing, liberalization gt; to support, and finally positioned the government welfare for the elderly is to the low-income class as the main target, to provide the private sector is reluctant to get involved, the market mechanism can t completely supply. Most of the needs of the elderly are solved as far as possible through market mechanisms. Therefore, the main purpose of the policy measures introduced during this period was to establish market norms and industry standards, protect the rights and interests of the elderly, and promote the socialization and industrialization of welfare for the elderly. (1) Introduction of the Regulations on Nursing Institutions and Supporting Measures In 1974, the Ministry of Health and Welfare published the Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of Private Nursing Homes, and this policy has been revised many times since then. The Guidelines and its related policies stipulate the attributes, facility standards, staffing, service standards, and preferential loan systems for nursing homes, and stipulate that nursing homes are different from general businesses. In addition to obtaining the approval of the prefectural governor at the time of their establishment, they are required to submit annual business reports and are subject to government supervision. Currently, social care institutions in Japan, whether welfare or for-profit, meet the guidelines as long as the number of occupants reaches a certain size (generally 50 or more). The difference is that the loan amount for for-profit institutions is generally around 30-70% of the minimum registered capital, with an interest rate of 2.25% per annum, while the loan amount for welfare institutions is slightly higher (although this is mainly due to the fact that for-profit corporations have to pay taxes, and therefore enjoy a greater preference in terms of loan interest rates. (2) After the 1980s, the size and purchasing power of the elderly population continued to rise, their needs became increasingly clear, and the variety of related goods and services continued to increase. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has established an Aging Industry Office, and suppliers of aging goods and services have established the Aging Business Development Association under the guidance of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. As the economic authority of the country of g

Shortly after the establishment of the Association for the Development of Business for the Elderly, in view of the frequent occurrence of incidents in which the quality of senior care institutions varies, goods are inferior, and the interests of the elderly are jeopardized (e.g., not only do elderly people staying in senior care homes suddenly lose their homes, but they can't even recover their high advances; and then, for example, there are elderly people who want to invest in value-added investments, but they lack the knowledge of finance and so they are scammed by investment consulting firms and so on.) , set up the Ethical Agenda for Aging Business to strengthen the self-regulation of the industry and enterprises, and then set up the Silver Mark system and a Silver Mark Certification Committee consisting of representatives of consumers, manufacturers, and academics, among others. Certification and publicity of eligible social institutions for the elderly, products and services for the elderly, and their manufacturers began. In addition, private nursing homes negotiated the establishment of a national guild, under which a foundation was set up to compensate and provide relief to the elderly in the event that individual members become unemployed. (3) The establishment of a vocational qualification system to raise the professional level of practitioners is one of the important symbols of the formation of the aging industry, as well as a necessity for the development of an aging society and the aging industry. the Social Welfare Teachers and Nursing Care Welfare Workers Law was passed by the Diet in 1987, and the first examinations for these two national qualifications were held in 1989. Social Welfare Teachers mainly provide counseling and guidance for the physical and mental health and daily life of the elderly. To take the exam, a person must have a college degree or higher and have taken relevant specialized classes (those who have not taken specialized classes are required to undergo more than one year's training at a s training center), or have a college degree or higher and more than 2 to 3 years of practical experience and have been given 6 months to 1 year of training at a training center. Nurses mainly provide specific care and daily living services to the elderly. They only need a high school diploma or above and 1-2 years of training in a training center to obtain this national qualification. However, if they do not have a high school diploma, they need more than 3 years of practical experience and pass a qualifying examination. So far, more than 140,000 and 370,000 people have taken these two qualification examinations, with pass rates of 28% and 47% respectively. Nearly 40,000 social welfare teachers and 300,000 care and welfare workers, as well as a large number of qualified domestic helpers, are not only providing high-quality services to the elderly, but also in terms of human resources. In addition, a number of universities have introduced specialties in social welfare, welfare engineering and even welfare appliance engineering, which are popular among the students who apply for them.2. Major policies and measures in the 1990s. In the 1990s, the Japanese American economy was in the doldrums, demand was sluggish, and the manufacturing industry bore the brunt of the problem, with serious overcapacity; on the other hand, the elderly population and their purchasing power were on the rise, but there were insufficient related goods and services. How to develop goods and services that suit the characteristics of the elderly, satisfy their needs and even develop their potential demand, expand the market scale and stimulate economic growth has become an issue to which the business sector and even the government economic authorities are paying increasing attention. The main policy measures that have been introduced during this period include the Act on Promotion of Research, Development and Popularization of Welfare Devices, the Guidelines for Designing Social Housing for Longer Lives, and the Nursing Care Insurance Act. The Law for the Promotion of Research, Development and Popularization of Welfare Appliances is essentially an industrial policy aimed at restructuring products and fostering new industries, and is of a medium level. Based on the needs of an aging society and the promotion of research, development and popularization of welfare appliances as a national responsibility and obligation, it mainly stipulates that: (1) the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) shall give full play to industrial technological advantages, promote the research, development and use of products for the elderly and establish an effective supply mechanism; (2) the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) shall provide private enterprises with technological guidance and financial support; (3) local governments shall be obliged to provide the elderly and persons with disabilities with product information and consulting services; and (4 ) Establishment of a year-round welfare appliance showroom to display relevant products in central cities. In order to achieve the policy objectives, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry set up a special medical welfare equipment I

This system is known as the successor to the universal old-age pension and universal insurance in the early 1960s. Its social background is as follows: (1) with aging and longevity, there are more and more people who are able to take care of themselves or cannot take care of themselves at all; (2) the nuclearization and miniaturization of the family structure has weakened the traditional family function of children taking care of the elderly. At the same time, due to the lack of caregivers and high labor costs, many elderly people can go without the necessary care and services. (3) Healthcare costs for the elderly are ballooning, with a large portion being spent on care rather than on medical acts. It is increasingly important to rationalize the relationship between them and open up new sources of funding. Under the Nursing Care Insurance System, elderly people can receive different levels of in-home nursing care and living services (*** divided into two categories and six levels, with monthly amounts ranging from 64,300 yen to 379,500 yen) as long as they are deemed necessary by a medical examination conducted by a specialized agency. They can also choose to stay in nursing homes, day-care centers, convalescent homes, nursing homes, and nursing homes. Even the expenses for reconstructing private homes and purchasing or renting the necessary machinery, appliances and supplies can be met through this system. Ninety percent of the above expenses are covered by the national and local governments through the insurance system, while individuals pay only 10 percent. On the other hand, under this system, every elderly person over 65 years of age is a class 1 insured person, while middle-aged people between 40 and 64 years of age are a class 2 insured person, with monthly insurance premiums deducted proportionally from their income such as annuities or wages. Three. Major Influences in Japan U.S. Policies Related to the Elderly Industry According to the theory of industrial economics, industrial policies do not necessarily take industries as their direct targets, and their policy goals include not only economic goals but also social goals. Most of the above policies and measures aim to improve social welfare and the situation of the elderly, but they all directly or indirectly affect the aging market and the aging industry. The first role is to establish market norms and ensure the orderly development of the ageing industry. The second is to cultivate and grow the ageing market, strengthen the demand mechanism and promote the rapid development of the ageing industry. Among them, the vocational qualification system, the Law for the Promotion of Research, Development and Popularization of Welfare Appliances and the newly enacted Nursing Care Insurance Law have a greater impact. This section is limited in space and focuses on a brief analysis of the latter. According to the Nursing Care Insurance Law, it is understood that the providers of nursing care and living services are mainly businesses rather than the government. Market mechanisms enable consumers (older people, etc.). to choose providers based on price and quality, and providers to conduct their business activities in accordance with market trends, thus avoiding to a large extent the drawbacks of inefficiency and poor service that are common to government welfare services. By October 2000, there were 64,605 SMEs in Japan engaged in home-based elderly care and living services as well as rental products for the elderly, and there were more than 11,000 facilities for the elderly. According to a survey of 4,774 former businesses conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Aging, in the six months after the nursing care insurance system came into effect (April-October 2000), the average number of customers per business increased from 37 to 63.8, and the average monthly business turnover increased from 2.5 million yen to 4 million yen, both by more than 60%. The expanding demand for nursing care and living services has also directly or indirectly driven the demand for various industries, such as geriatric supplies, geriatric facilities, geriatric housing, finance and insurance, and even the knowledge industry. Thus, the nursing care insurance system has contributed to the comprehensive development of Japan's aging industry. The results of a survey conducted in the second year after the enactment of this law showed that 33.5 per cent of listed companies had entered or were preparing to enter the ageing market. In particular, of the 184 large manufacturing and financial and insurance companies, 146 had already begun to manufacture products or provide financial insurance products for the elderly, and 118 of them had indicated that they would expand their scale. A number of large firms have now entered the care and living services market across a range of industries. For example, Hitachi Group, Nippon Life Insurance Company, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and 14 other large corporations have joined together to form a company called Career Partners, which provides information

The impact of the insurance system on the industry and the economy is also manifested in several other ways. (1) Expanding market demand and stimulating economic growth. Since the early 1990s, Japan's U.S. economy has been in a prolonged downturn. The main reason for this is the lack of demand and demand imbalance, the decline in the traction of business equipment investment, which can t directly affect the final consumption, and weak household consumption due to the lack of new products and services and people's lack of confidence in the future. On the other hand, increasing investment in public *** business to stimulate economic growth has been the Japanese government's traditional prosperity response, but the room for implementation is getting smaller and less effective than before. Social welfare expenditures, including nursing care costs, have the same multiplier effect as public ****business investment, with the former at 3.79[] and the latter at 3.8. It is calculated that if the nursing care insurance system takes effect in the first fiscal year, it will cost 3.97 trillion yen. Then Y = 3.973.79 = 15.0463 (trillion yen). In other words, the 3.97 trillion yen and the continued drive to increase demand, production, and income could amount to 15.05 trillion yen by the time the market once again reaches equilibrium where aggregate supply equals aggregate demand. However, as part of the 3.97 trillion yen that would have been credited to the government's health care costs for older Americans, the actual increase in the cost of care in FY2000 was less than the above figure. After that, however, demand for nursing care will grow rapidly at a rate of 8-10% per year, rising to 6.4 trillion yen in 2005 and 9.2 trillion yen in 2010, with a diffusion effect that could add tens of trillions of yen to market demand. (2) Expanding employment opportunities and absorbing surplus labor in traditional industries. The life service industry and institutional care industry are labor-intensive. According to calculations, every 10 billion yen of demand for elderly care can create 1,785 jobs, while 10 billion yen of demand for public ***** businesses such as infrastructure construction can create only 994 jobs. As a result of population decline and changes in the structure of the economy, the number of people in the workforce in Japan will decrease by about 5% by 20250 compared with today, and the distribution of industries will change significantly. In particular, the number of people employed in the secondary industry, mainly in construction and manufacturing (except for the manufacturing of medical and welfare appliances), will decrease by about 20%, and the number of people employed in the primary industry and the tertiary industry (except for the service industry, which focuses on the elderly) will each decrease by about 10%. Only industries related to an aging society have already increased significantly, and service industries mainly targeting the elderly will increase by more than 200%, thus greatly reducing the socio-economic impact of layoffs in traditional industries. (3) Promoting local economy and community development. Most of the elderly service industry, institutional care industry and elderly housing industry are based in the local community and have a lasting impact on the development of the local economy and community. From the point of view of regional differences in the degree of population aging, population aging in developed countries such as Japan is higher in rural areas than in cities, higher in small and medium-sized cities than in large cities, and higher in economically backward areas than in developed areas. For example, in many towns and villages in Japan, the proportion of elderly people is more than 50%, and there is much room for the development of industries such as care services, institutionalized elderly care and senior housing. In addition, overpopulation has seriously affected local financial income and social and economic development in these areas, so the development of industries in these areas has greater social and economic benefits. At present, many towns and cities implement preferential policies and even give financial subsidies to investors who build retirement communities and senior citizen apartments in their localities precisely for this reason.4. RevelationThe aging industry also has broad prospects in China.In 2010, the proportion of elderly people over 60 years of age in China's total population rose to 12.1%, close to Japan's level in 1980, and the total consumption demand of the elderly exceeded 1 trillion yuan. The total consumer demand of the elderly exceeds 1 trillion RMB, forming a huge market for the elderly. As the trend of population aging will not be reversed at least in the 21st century. Silver industry, like green industry, is aq

Therefore, the state, as the main body of the policy, should have a comprehensive conception and long-term layout of the development of the aging industry, and according to the characteristics of the aging industry and the national conditions, the introduction of corresponding policy measures in stages to promote the development of the aging market, guide and support the development of the aging industry in various fields.

Hakusan Historical Village: an example of Japanese tradition preserved intact. Through the cultivation of mulberry trees and the development of sericulture, the village has been able to perpetuate itself over the course of its long history in the middle of a mountainous area almost forgotten by mankind. In order to alleviate the pressure of snow during the cold winter months, the residents increased the slope of their roofs and constructed unique two-story thatched steep-slope wooden houses. These huts are usually 18 meters long and 10 meters wide, with 3-4 floors inside, and usually house a large family. Because the shape of the roof resembles that of the Japanese when worshipping the gods, they are called palm folding houses or triangular houses. In addition to the significance of economic prosperity, these villages show the world the industrious quality and wisdom of ancient laborers who adapted to the environment and developed the economy.

5. Ranking of Rural Tourist Attractions in Japan

First of all, rural Japan has a different meaning than rural China. Chinese American countryside usually means poverty, backwardness and poor transportation. However, Japan, as a developed country, has sound and convenient transportation facilities (the tram network covers almost all areas) and good living facilities. It has gone through two stages, the big difference between urban and rural areas and the integration of urban and rural areas, and has developed to the stage of pursuing rural life and sustainable development. In addition, urban land area is limited and many factories are scattered in villages. Many Japanese people prefer to buy land in the countryside and build their own houses rather than live in urban apartments. (For example, the former general manager of our company built a single-family building in the foothills of a Japanese mountain, a place that is not in front of the village.
