Noblesse Oblige and Nasu

Hello, my name is Kaori.
"Nasu Sightseeing Virtual Tours in JapanWelcome to our website.

Speaking of Nasu, many people probably think of Nasu Imperial Villa.
Built in 1926, the Nasu Imperial Villa is where the Emperor and his family (the Royal Family) come to rest and recuperate every summer.
During their retreat, the Royal Family enjoys visiting many of Nasu's tourist attractions.
Personnel from each tourist facility will welcome the Royal Family and show them around the facility.
For these reasons, Nasu is known as the "Royal Resort."
When sightseeing in Nasu, you sometimes hear stories like, "A member of the royal family came here secretly the other day," and at times like that, you feel that Nasu is a truly high-quality resort destination where you can feel close to members of the royal family.


There is a French proverb that says "noblesse oblige" (the moral obligation that comes with noble status; high rank demands high virtue).
Those who have "property, power, and social status" are aware that these are not their own possessions, but are entrusted to them by society, and they use what they have for the benefit of others. The idea is that people have an obligation to do something useful for society.
For example, in 2011, when the former Emperor was still Emperor, he opened half of the land of the Nasu Imperial Villa (560 hectares) to the public.Nasu Heisei Forest" It can be said that this was the result of noblesse oblige, something that only someone in his position could achieve.


The current prosperity of the Nasu region as a whole can be traced back to the nobles of the Meiji government, who, realizing that it was their role alone to make Japan a prosperous country that could rival the West, invested their own money to develop the Nasu region, Japan's largest alluvial fan, which was previously a barren wilderness.
As a result of the efforts of the nobility to develop the Nasu region, which was once a rocky wasteland typical of the alluvial fan, as a national project of the Meiji government, the Nasu Canal was completed, and the Nasu region was transformed into a land of fertility. I was reborn.
Many important figures in the Meiji government, including Matsukata Masayoshi (title: Duke), who served as two-time Prime Minister of the Meiji government, Yamagata Aritomo (title: Duke), who also served as Prime Minister, and Aoki Shuzo (title: Viscount), the diplomat who signed the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, began running large-scale farms modeled after those in the West and built villas there.
In this way, the Nasu area became an area where high society (upper class) gathered during the Meiji period.
It can be said that these large-scale developments by the aristocracy were indeed driven by a mind of noblesse oblige.


Even today, Nasu is home to a vast and elegant ranch landscape that is somewhat distant from Japan, as if reflecting the deep respect for the West that the aristocrats had in mind during the Meiji era. It is one of the attractions that attracts people.


"We believe people with passion can change the world for the better."
The above are the words that the late Steve Jobs spoke when he returned to Apple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, in 1997 and launched a life-saving advertising campaign called "Think Different." However, long before that, during the Meiji period in Japan, there were aristocrats whose passionate pioneering efforts led Nasu in a better direction.

I wanted as many people as possible to experience Nasu, which is full of noble charm that cannot be found in other tourist destinations.
I would like to tell you that if you come to Nasu, there are so many wonderful places to visit, and you can enjoy a precious time with a sense of luxury.
