【正确答案】There are a number of reasons why the leisure industry is rapidly expanding in Japan.
   First of all, it is a government-led leisure boom. According to figures from Japan's Labor Ministry, Japanese workers work about 200 more hours per year than average American workers. Because of the complaint that the Japanese labor force is working too much, the government is vigorously promoting the concept of leisure. Then, people now have more leisure time. Some companies ask employees to take longer vacations, and others are moving to eliminate the traditional Saturday workday. Nowadays more leisure centers are constructed in Japan. Hundreds of amusement parks, sports centers, and resorts are opening all over the country. They are trying to provide all kinds of leisure facilities and activities for the Japanese to enjoy.
