The enjoyment of watching things closely. In particular, enjoying nature observation as a sport. Birdwatching was the original form of this. The joy of walking around the mountains and fields and observing wild birds became widely known in the 1980s. It was especially popular among women and middle-aged and elderly people. Today, it has spread to people of all ages and genders. Since then, the scope of what is watched has expanded to include dolphin watching, whale watching, and safari watching.

ものをじっと見て楽しむこと。とくに,自然観察をスポーツ感覚で楽しむこと。その嚆矢(こうし)となったものがバードウォッチングである。山野を歩き回って野鳥を観察することの楽しさが広く知られるようになったのは1980年代。とりわけ,女性および中高年者に人気があった。いまは老若男女を問わず浸透している。その後,イルカ・ウォッチング,クジラ・ウォッチング,サファリ・ウォッチング,などとウォッチングの対象の幅を広げつつある。
