Research on the synergistic relationship between urban tourist attractions and green infrastructure in Japanese cities based on green tourism

Abstract In the context of sustainable development, the concept of green tourism has garnered widespread attention. As more people choose cities as their travel destinations, this trend not only promotes urban economic development but also impacts urban ecosystems. Based on this, this paper proposes the concept of coordinated planning for urban green infrastructure (UGI) and urban tourist attractions. By studying and conducting a comparative analysis of the synergy between green infrastructure and urban tourist attractions in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kumamoto, this study explores the relationship between green infrastructure and urban tourist attractions in cities with different levels of economic development and population sizes. The study mainly considers the spatial correlation between UGI and urban tourist attractions.
