   About your interpretive training in Phobjikha I can say that it has been very impressive of how you converted the capacity of the local people in Phobjikha to perform as a local guide. Visitors have been impressed by the way the local guides has been performing ever since the interpretive training was given by Masa san.

   Stress free - hands on experience - interpretive - timely - accurate - notable - interactive! Abbreviated into Shintani is the best way to explain how amazing his program works. With his experience and competency all material will be delivered with the most effective way ensuring participants went home carrying knowledge and idea.

   The last year I participated in the training course “Planificacion y Gestion del Ecoturismo en Areas Tropicales y Subtropicales de la Region Latinoamericana", with JICA. One of the best topics about the course was the interpretive training program, it was intensive three days in Tokyo with the expert Masanori Shintani. The information about the interpretive and the experiences shows in the training served to adapt in my job, especially in the humans’ resources program applied in the Ministry of Tourism in Venezuela, around one hundred people I could transmit a short version of the interpretive training program. Really it was very important information, and for me able to clarify all doubts. I recommend this interpretive training program because is an efficient form to learning about the interpretation in the ecotourism and the support the communities in the potential tourist development.

   When I had my first approach to interpretation with Masa’s training program, I was a complete discovery. All the activities and techniques were clear, fun and easy to apply. There was space for discussion and practice, as well as team work. Besides, staff was always kind and ready to offer support. All these features, combined with a great schedule of field visits, made it an awesome, enriching experience, which I highly recommend.

   新谷雅徳氏と出逢ったのは「わが家を作ろう！」という講習会。彼の家庭や土地の文化、我は日本人であるという価値観は現代社会で暮らす我々にとって忘れがちな「文化」へのこだわりは斬新で先駆的だった。彼は幅広く世界を股に掛けたエコツーリズム開発を展開。他国や日本の環境、観光資源を掘り起こす「目」は鋭く、その地域や人々が持続可能な文化の継承、未来を考えたプラン作り、人柄から（人柄に？）惹き付けられた人間も多いことだろう。次に何を起こすか楽しみな男である。

   「実現可能であるかどうか？」 今まで、何かを企画する際、想いばかりが先行して夢物語で終わることが多く、実現可能かどうかをじっくり考えたことがありませんでした。しかし、まささんは、研修を通して、私にそのことを考える大切さを教えてくれました。そのおかげで、ある環境企画を実現することができ、今まで見ることの出来なかった景色を見ることができました。 まささんに出会わなかったら私はいつまでも実現不可能なことばかり考えていたと思います。 最後に…まささんが世界で経験してきたお話を聞くことだけでも（聞くだけでも？）、本当に刺激になりました！

    With the interpretive training program trained by Masa San, I saw how useful and important it is, especially in ecotourism, the use of environmental interpretation for generating experiences, the understanding of the environment and the knowledge and internalization of environmental and cultural concepts of locality. This program exceeded my expectations, and was very important in the search for more information on how we actually implement and introduce the process of development of locally based ecotourism. I was impressed by the excellent teaching and the vast knowledge of Masa San.

    The training provides me with more depth of understanding of the reason of doing a proper interpretation; to make sure people do understand what we are trying to share with them, to make the information attractive and to attract attention.

    El Programa de Entrenamiento Interactivo me dio la oportunidad de compartir y conocer la cultura japonesa. Me relacione con representantes de diferentes comunidades y aprendi acerca de las costumbres y tradiciones locales. Personalmente, creo que cada pais, region y localidad tiene mucho que ofrecer y este programa me dio una experiencia emocionante, gratificante e inolvidable. (The Interactive Training Program gave me an opportunity to take part in Japanese culture. I interacted with representatives from different communities and learned about local customs and traditions. Personally, I think that every country, region and locality has much to offer and this program gave me an exciting, rewarding and unforgettable experience.)

    私にとってエコ活動の父である新谷さん。子ども環境大使の研修で、インドネシアの熱帯雨林、電気・水のない過酷な環境でガイドしていただいたことは一生の財産です。世界中を飛び回りエコツーリズムを広げている姿はとてもカッコ良く、私も負けてられない！と刺激を貰っています。面白さとときに厳しさを兼ね揃えた素敵な人柄で、今後も世界を、人を、素晴らしい環境へと導いてくれるでしょう。
