Recently the environmental, landscape and utility planning for restorative historic sites becomes an important issue from an aspect of contribution toward the regional development. This paper presents a basic study on an analysis of the sequential landscape for the restorative landscape planning in a historic site, the ruins of Oka castle. Five circulation routes in the castle site were selected as visitors' main routes, and the sequential photographs on each route were prepared. The semantic differential (SD) test and watching point test were carried out to the students by showing those photographs. As a result, all pictures of the sequential landscape were classified into "one point of attention" type, "wide range of attention" type and "whole range of eyesight" type. The relation between each type and the evaluative result of SD test was clarified. The characteristics of five routes were pointed out, while the landscape components along the routes were related to those types.
