As a bypass of the Tokaido road, there exist many convenience and entertainment facilities in Higashi Minoji of Nakasendo road, such as teahouses and Hatago. Before the invention of the automobile, all sections of Nakasendo road were exuberant. Currently, this road is less frequented and its facilities still remain as vestiges. The object of the present study is the Higashi Minoji section leading to Ochiai-Juku from Ota-Juku of Nakasendo road, and the section from Tsumago-Juku to Ochiai-Juku. These sections cover a length of approximately 70km and include Nagiso-machi of Nagano prefecture, Nakatsugawa city, Ena city, Mizunami city, Mitake-cho, Kani city and Minokamo city of Gifu prefecture. Different passes go through the mountains such as Magome-pass, Jumagari-pass, Jusan-pass and Biwa-pass. Up to now, the progress of the development of these districts has been slow. Consequently, a lot of ancient historical landscapes and ambiances still remain compared to Tokaido road.<br> This study focused on the road that connects between the Shukuba. It is important to grasp the status of landscape resources and analyze their characteristics. Moreover, concerning the determination of the landscape plan, local residents should improve the care of Nakasendo road, Minosakamoto station and Nakatsugawa city. Tourists can quickly increase traffic in the region with the new opportunities offered by the Chuo Shinkansen stations. Improving the living environment of local residents can simultaneously improve the touristic environments in the region and the increase of tourists' traffic can also help in unifying the region and creating a new culture.<br> In this study, authors conducted a survey in the Higashi Minoji of Nakasendo road in order to grasp tourists' information related to landscape resources. The conducted survey covered Higashi Minoji and Kisoji as a whole. Authors made a distribution of landscape resources and searched for common features in each section in order to grasp the characteristics of each region.<br> First, in order to study the status of landscape resources in the region, authors collected 33 related materials such as books, pamphlets, maps etc. Then, conducted a six day field reconnaissance survey and eight days of validation survey. This survey helped in improving the authors' knowledge about Higashi Minoji of Nakasendo road and collecting the names of landscape resources and their locations (Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-3). Second, a total number of 474 landscape resources were classified according to their use into five categories. That is to say: "Natural objects", "historical construction material", "symbol", "historic streets' elements" and "ruins". The number and density of landscape resources were counted between the Shukuba and in each one of them (Table 2). Finally, principal component analysis was performed twice in order to clarify the distribution structure of landscape resources. Variables were set in the first analysis as the density of landscape resources in each Shukuba. In the second analysis, the ratio of landscape resources and the paving material of the roads between Shukuba were set as variables (Fig. 4, Fig. 5).<br> In this research, the distribution of landscape resources at the Higashi Minoji of Nakasendo road was identified. Their names, locations and types were also collected and principal component analysis revealed the characteristics of the areas between Shukuba at the Higashi Minoji of Nakasendo road.
