We investigated the development process of organized farm-inn district, “Shunran-no-Sato” in Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture and examined some problems. In order to clarify the roles of the leader and the system of organized farm-inn district, we divided the whole process (from 1996 to 2017) of the organized farm-inn district into three periods: the starting period, the forming period and the developing period. Based on intensive interviews and participant observation, we found that the roles of the leader were quite important in both the starting period and the forming period. On the other hand, establishing the system of organized farm-inn district become important in the forming period and developing period. In the future, the succession of the role of the leader becomes a most serious problem for this district.
