Ecotourism in Japan

Japan is a place that ecotourism can be put into action in good form.  The Japanese are all about respect and staying clean.  So they do respect their environment for the most part as well as expect outsiders to do the same. 
According to treehugger, Japan has started implementing ecotourism ideas since 1998.  Thanks to having a great public transportation system set up you would not have to worry about getting around while causing any more damage to the environment.  Treehugger mentions a few places to visit in Japan that they consider to be more green locations in the summer.  They mention visiting the hot springs, climbing Mt. Fuji, scuba diving, river rafting, and visiting the numerous different shrines throughout Japan.  To see more of what Treehugger has to say, here is their site: http://www.treehugger.com/corporate-responsibility/eco-tourism-in-japan.html

Hoshinoya Karuizawa resort is a place that considers themselves to be an eco tour location.  They have many activities that you can go to from the resort.  You can use public transportation to reach some of their activity sites.  They promote going on hikes to see different locations while preaching leaving the locations the same as when they went to visit them.
Their specific ecotours consist of a morning walk and a daytime walk that are focused around nature watching.  There is also a mountain biking tour and a twilight tour to see flying squirrels.
This is a definite place that would be nice to visit and explore.  The site shows even more awesome pictures and activity offers.  http://global.hoshinoresort.com/
