This study focuses on rural area development in the Yunotsu Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where private companies are actively repurposing vacant houses. It examines the ripple effects of converting these spaces into accommodations and restaurants in the surrounding area. The findings show that these efforts have led to the emergence of accommodation types similar to "dispersed hotels" and the diversification of tourism styles utilizing local resources. Additionally, through support from private companies and understanding from local residents, strong relationships have been built among stakeholders, contributing to regional revitalization. The study emphasizes the importance of establishing a long-term, collaborative policy among private companies, local residents, immigrants, and the government to ensure sustainable development and further revitalization of the area.
