This study focuses on leisure activities and aims to clarify changes in the frequency of interaction with remote areas using online tools before and after COVID-19 pandemic and the level of satisfaction in each urban area, through a web questionnaire survey targeting young people in the Tokyo area, San-in and Northern Tohoku prefectures. The results showed that while there were differences between urban areas in activities with remote areas whose communication was unidirectional, there were no differences whose communication was bidirectional. Furthermore, it was found that although the frequency of exchanges increased more in the San-in and Northern Tohoku prefectures than in the Tokyo area after COVID-19 pandemic, the benefits of online activities were recognized more strongly in the Tokyo area.
