The same questionnaire survey was distributed to randomly selected tourists who visited Sanbonmatsu (SA) and Odashirogahara (OA), Nikko National Park, in order to analyze and compare tourists' characteristics and attitudes toward nature during the summer and fall of 1998. In total, 204 responses at SA and 202 at OA were obtained. The results indicated that the tourists who visited SA differed significantly from the ones who visited OA in several ways. Car-driving was the favorite among youth at SA. On the other hand, hiking was the favorite in aged at OA. The educational facilities are not frequently used though tourists have a strong interest in nature and a strong desire for understanding nature. Environmental education through visitors centers and interpretive signs on trails as well as first-hand knowledge about nature is not effective to increase tourists' awareness of nature and environmental protection.
