The relationship between guide roles on the ecotourism and environmental conservations was comprehended by organizing the change of Japanese ecotourism. Japanese research articles from 1990 to 2009 were investigated. The Japanese ecotourism period can be categorized into four different stages; 1) introduction period of ecotourism, 2) examination period of Japanese ecotourism, 3) development period of Japanese ecotourism and 4) working period of Japanese ecotourism. There are 2 types of environmental conservations by ecotourism guide. One is environmental education to stakeholders: tourists, local people and themselves. The other is participation in environmental conservational activities. As ecotourism is social system, environmental conservation by environmental education and environmental load reduction of guiding tour is insufficient. It is necessary for the ecotourism guide to get more positively involved in the environmental conservation and tourism resource in future.
