Abstract
This study examined the possibility of the Sotogahama route in Dazai's novel Tsugaru through field research. Tsugaru is a novel by Dazai, who was asked by a publishing company to write a novel about his travels in the Tsugaru region where he was born and raised. In particular, we were able to confirm that the episodes of his visit to Sotogahama and the places he visited could lead to an un-derstanding of Dazai and the region. However, Dazai's travels in Sotogahama are not well known, and there are no tourist programs that allow visitors to re-experience Dazai. There is an urgent need to develop programs that allow visitors to experience of Dazai`s travel and the unique characteristics of Tsugaru.
