Bridging cultural heritage and present
Associate Professor Mayumi Okada of the Center for Advanced Tourism Studies is introducing a new perspective to the realm of heritage studies in Japan.

Although it was conceived as a way to have the public interact with archeology, contentions often occur due to differences in perspective.
