Motivation for outdoor participation

In Japan, the leading reason to become engaged with outdoor activities is the desire to feel and be around nature, followed by the need to have a change of pace from quotidian life. Outdoor-related goods and activities may be in the process of turning into symbols of lifestyle, serving as a counterbalance to busy big city life. Participating in leisure activities in nature seems to become a trend, and is particularly appealing to younger generations, as suggested by the age group distribution of camping participants.

Outdoor innovations

Outdoor is being reinvented in Japan, as people seek new lifestyles, and outdoor activities provide the platform to find solutions to the needs bred by a higher health consciousness in society. The gradual orientation towards wellness and holistic well-being are presumably key dynamic forces that propel outdoor-related developments. This orientation towards the outdoors is, for instance, evidenced by consumer behavior changes among camping-car users.
