Abstract

Many important preservation districts of groups of historic buildings have developed as tourist destinations in Japan. But Imai-cho in the City of Kashihara - one of the most famous historical districts in Japan - is situated as residential zone in Kasihara city planning and previous studies said that residents in Imai-cho did not want to develop their district as a normal tourist destination. Therefore, this article aims to examine the possibility of developing an event tourism in the Imai-cho. Events opened on each Saturday and Sunday in November in 2009. Many events, such as concerts, lectures, bar and so forth opened from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. In these events, some tourists stayed at historical buildings. The author examines the assessments of these events by the questionnaire to tourists and residents in the Imai-cho. There are many tourist attractions such as public open spaces, museums and important cultural properties in the Imai-cho. But souvenir shops and eating and drinking places are not plenty for tourists and there is no main shopping street in the Imai-cho. Most of tourists lived within Kinki region. They usually went to other destinations after they stayed in the Imai-cho during only few hours. They hoped the Imai-cho will develop as historical tourist destination. But some tourists and residents hoped the Imai-cho not to develop as a normal tourist destination. They hoped to develop the event tourism in the Imai-cho in order to preserve life of residents.
