In this paper, the authors compare the images of a town held by old residents who have lived there for many decades with that held by young students who have come there few years ago. An experiment was conducted in which participants photographed what impressed them in the town and wrote explanations why they had impressed them. Cooccurrence graphs were created based on the text data of the explanations and images of the town were extracted from the cooccurrence graphs. It was revealed that both of the old residents and the young students have two images. One of them is a visual image and the other is a conceptual image. It was also revealed that the old residents’ images contain what exist in their memories such as scenes of other seasons, episodes, and personal customs, whereas the young students obediently develop their images using what exist in front of them.
