Trail degradations have been found in most mountainous natural parks in Japan. For maintenance of trails, managers should pay attention to the attitudes of visitors and stakeholders, and they should get the consensus for the ideal maintenance method of trails with visitors and concerned stakeholders. The method that demonstrates projected trail maintenance measure is needed. Moreover managers should understand that the attitudes of hikers and stakeholders about trail maintenance are not always similar. In this paper, we applied photo-montage method to evaluate projected trail maintenance, and analyzed the differences of evaluations of hikers and stakeholders at Mt. Rishirisan in Rishiri Rebun Sarobetsu National Park, Japan. Stakeholders recognized trail impacts, and they felt necessity of some measures more than hikers did, especially around the summit of Mt. Rishirisan. Stakeholders and hikers evaluated the photograph which has steps with logs higher than other photographs. Hikers and stakeholders gave priority over the protection of vegetations and soils around trails. Stakeholders wanted the slight trail maintenance, the PR of the place where trails were degraded and the council which public administrators and local people would discuss the management of the mountain.
