Divergent trajectories: Environment, heritage and tourism in Tanegashima, Mageshima and Yakushima

---

This article addresses aspects of contemporary heritage orientation of Tanegashima and
Yakushima islands in southern Japan in the context of their historical association; the status of adjacent
Mageshima island; and the divergent nature of the tourism attractions and related industries that
have developed on the islands from the late 20th Century on. The discussion involves two aspects of
heritage and heritage protection and exploitation; in the case of Yakushima, one focused on the natural
environment and, in the case of Tanegashima, one substantially premised on historical and present-
day technological refinements and innovations. As might be expected, these different orientations
result in different engagements with issues of environmental protection. The islands’ divergent trajectories
illustrate the range of potential developments for small islands and the problem with over-generalistic
characterisations of island ‘essences’ and/or predetermined socio-economic destinies.

KEYWORDS: Tanegashima; Yakushima; Mageshima; World heritage; Japanese space program
