In modern Japan, tuberculosis is a threat and its treatment was only sanatorium therapy to rest in sanatoriums, a medical treatment facility.Sanatoriums were constructed in various places, especially on the Shonan coast, "sanatorium group" was formed with 12 sanatoriums and villas accompanied. Many authors are involved in sanatorium as patients and visitors, and the records by them are important clues for knowing sanatorium and town. And then, we investigated the transformation process of regional image of Chigasaki from the records by writers. As a result, all records were classified in the following 4 periods: before Doppo appeared, period by participants of Doppo,Seito salon period, the period of expansion exchange to the boarding houses. Conclusion, the regional image of Chigasaki was transmitted as a town of tuberculosis by participants of Doppo, and then, it was changed to a place of active living by Raicho Hiratsuka, and further new behavior area of settled patients.
