    The aim of this research is to uncover what kind of factors affect the number of overnight tourists in Japan from China, Korea and Taiwan, which has a large impact on the amount of tourist consumption in Japan, through statistical analysis of data, including an accommodation travel survey by the Japan Tourism Agency. The main results of this research are as follows: exchange fluctuation affects tourists from Taiwan the most; direct flights have a great effect on tourists from all three countries; and the most famous travel tour, “The Golden Route,” including Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka, has a greater effect on tourists from China.

    Focusing on a rural community with relatively less appealing tourism resources, the purpose of this study is to clarify what fundamentally motivates people in the community to engage in tourism-related activities. Based on the discussions by Zygmunt Bauman and Satoshi Watanabe, such an action is explained as a strategy to reduce fear or anxiety of death. Additionally, selecting Tarusawa area in Ninohe city as a case and analyzing narratives of the residents, it is identified that not only ‘making memories of life’ but also ‘making options to live’ is a motivation for the residents to engage in tourism-related activities. This is not discussed by Bauman and Watanabe, and regarded as a new strategy focusing on individual near future to reduce fear or anxiety of death.

    As travel styles diversify, collaboration among tourism-related organizations becomes more important in tourism-based community development at traditional tourism destinations. In this research we focus on Atami where the city hall has taken measures to promote collaboration among tourism-related organizations and examine their effects and issues based on interviews and related documents. As the result of analysis, it was found out that collaboration started through information sharing at city hall’s tourism strategy meetings and activities to discover regional tourism resources and expanded through the supports for the new tourism providers and tourism promotion campaigns. Conservative attitudes of existent organizations and the difficulty to balance the tourism and community development are pointed out as the issues to promote collaboration.
