This study defines cases of living base places formed on the moving process to the villa area in Hara Village, Nagano Prefecture. The followings are the main findings. In addition to single-track migration in which “only one main base”, there are patterns with “secondary bases” and “temporary housings”. Staying in the area before migration helps to imagine the lifestyle after migration and to prepare the house and jobs. Transitional housing styles like rental houses are important for people who want to move to a new location.
