| Research Abstract |
We assessed current and past values of recreational fishing at Lake Hachiro, a remnant lake from a land‐reclamation project in Japan. This study proposes measuring the value of recreational fishing using the travel cost method, which can also determine the change in value over time. The value of recreational fishing at Lake Hachiro is estimated as \610 million in 2003 and \180 million in 2011. It indicates that the value in 2003 would have been as high as three times the value in 2011.
