    In this study, tourism promotion and education concerning Misuzu Kaneko in Nagato city was analyzed and considered thorough the frame of "narrative approach" in the field of the human science applied to city planning and tourism promotion. In the beginning the measures of tourism promotion and education promoted contacts between Misuzu's poem and resident/tourist. In the recent years the measures of tourism promotion and education became 'Generative circulation' what resident/tourist/teacher who had experienced Misuzu's poem created new narrative. This 'Generative circulation' led to the possibility of another 'Generative circulation' what tourist who had experienced new narrative discovered regional appeal. From the result it is expected that Narrative became the structure that resident relating 'the region is good for living' led to tourist feeling 'the region is good for visiting'.

    The phrase "Aloha Spirit" is frequently used to characterize the features of the Honolulu Marathon. Accordingly, Japanese participants express their appreciation of the "Aloha Spirit," even though its significance does not necessarily conform to the traditional notion of "aloha" shared by Hawaiians. When the Japanese return home, they share their experience of the Aloha Spirit with others, who in turn, learn about the marathon and the spirit. The touristic notion of the Aloha Spirit of the marathon is reproduced and perpetuated in this manner through tourists and the tourism industry. This study shows that tourists not only confirm the image of tourism as has been proposed by Boorstin and others but also reproduce the image of the tourism.
