In this study, we collected case studies of area hospitality initiatives in Japan that make use of existing buildings and local resources and summarized the actual situation. The results showed that the management style of lodging centers is changing and expanding in various ways, influenced by the location and region, with a focus on the connection with the local resources. It was found that there is an increase in the number of people using the lodging function as a temporary residence. Additionally, we found that the consumers are also seeking experiences unique to the area.
