This study aims to sort and compute the rates of vacant houses in every 37 villages in Hayakawa Town, and also to clarify 1) the problems of increasing vacant houses, 2) location of each vacant house, 3) current condition of their management such as weeding garden and ventilation inside their houses, and 4) vacant house owners' intention of the treatment of their houses in the future. We made clear that one side in some village there are few vacant houses and have not so many problems, the other side in some village there are so many vacant houses Which village itself will collapse in the near future. We also clarified that many vacant house owners want to reserve their houses but they don't manage them enough to reserve. We have found the demand of new organization in place of owners to manage vacant houses.
