Abstract(in English) With 2020 Tokyo Olympics close at hand, shrines and temples in the Nikko World Heritage area are struggling to convey the historical significance of the traditional cultural values of the area in multiple languages for inbound tourists from various countries and regions and linguistic landscape of signage and postings along the pilgrimage path leading from Nikko Station to Shinkyo is also changing. New shops and restaurants can be found which cleverly utilizes formerly abandoned old houses in traditional styles. We will report some of our findings based on our surveys conducted in 2017 and 2018.
