抄録

Practices of rural accommodations in ski resort areas are one form of rural tourism in Japan. It is considered that various practices coexist in such areas because of the diversity of accommodation management and needs. This paper reveals the condition and viewpoints about the coexistence of such types of rural tourism through a case study of the Hanasaku district, Katashina village, Gunma prefecture. Two practices exist at Hanasaku district: a mediation by Katashina agricultural cooperative and an accommodation practice. The former provides learning experiences on farming and rural activities to schools from metropolitan areas and has been one form of support for the accommodation management since about 20 years ago, providing tourists to many accommodations in the area. The latter is an attraction and service facility for tourists at the active accommodations which reflect facility preferences, meaning there are various services, such as local meals, guided walks and so on. Thus, while the two practices are different in terms of practice agents, positions in accommodation management and needs, they are coexisting in their objective and conclusion. There is a possibility of change in each accommodation with the change of managerial intention and household condition.
