This study aims to elucidate the structure of mobility environment evaluation in urban tourism by surveying users of the “Me~guru” sightseeing route bus in Nagoya City. We developed models for the likelihood of visiting each tourist site and for evaluating the mobility environment by actual visitors and compared their parameters. The results reveal that the decision to visit is influenced by factors such as interest in the destination and the ease of understanding the route—elements that are easy to research and anticipate in advance. In contrast, the mobility environment evaluations by actual visitors were significantly influenced by factors like walking distance and congestion during transit, which are difficult to fully assess beforehand. These findings highlight the differences in the evaluation structures between the likelihood of visiting and the assessments made by actual visitors.
