研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
This study discusses the relationship between market growth and the tourism boom that occurred in island regions from 1970 to the 80s in Japan. The Izu Islands and Okinawa were selected as the target areas for this study because they became well-known tourist destinations during this period. Monthly data were used to construct a regression model addressing the relationship between market expansion and tourism demand. The empirical results show that the domestic market has a positive effect on tourism demand in Okinawa, whereas it has a negative impact on the Izu Islands. Based on the results, peripheral areas, such as island regions, may be spotlighted as tourism destinations and domestic economic growth. However, the demand for tourism has not grown at all domestic tourism destinations. Overall, this study concludes that the influence of investment by the private sector likely causes contradictory results between regions.

研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
This paper aims at demonstrating the characteristics of the accommodations in the early period of the tourism development and determining the relationships between these characteristics and the price before it became a well-developed tourism destination focusing on Okinawa, Japan. First, this paper conducted a principal component analysis to identify the characteristics of the tourism accommodations. Two characteristics were obtained: one is for the characteristics of Western style hotels, the other is for Japanese-style accommodations which feature in traditional Japanese style rooms. Then a regression model was carried out to estimate the relationships between the price of accommodations and the characteristics obtained from the principal component analysis. The estimation model showed that the characteristics of the Western style hotels more strongly influenced to the price, compared with those of the Japanese-style accommodations. Further, regional dummy variables were added to the model, which showed the price differences of accommodations between the cities and peripheral areas. Based on these results, Western style facilities were found to be more expensive before tourism development took off, and they were limited only in the part of areas in Okinawa.

研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
This study aims to show the determinants of the airline's networks in Japanese island regions. Transportation systems are generally needed for residents in island regions to maintain their livelihood. Meanwhile, it is also necessary for people who live in outside regions such as tourists. Therefore, the transportation systems would be significant to maintain both tourism industries and the social situations in many of islands in Japan. This study, first, applied the network analysis to verify the nexus of connections among the transportation network in island regions in Japan. Degree centrality was calculated, and the result shows that some islands which is well-known as the tourism destinations located in southern part of Japan obtained many of connections to other places including other islands, as well as the mainland. Then regression model with the result of network analysis was composed and estimated by maximum likelihood method. The outcome shows that the situations of island society such as aged problem and economy in the islands would be influenced to maintain the airlines, as well as the amount of tourism demand. From these results, this paper concluded that both internal situations of island society and the tourism demand would be important to maintain island's transportation system.

秋田地理 ( 秋田地理学会 ) 36 11 - 18 2023年05月
研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
本研究では因子分析による地域区分の手法を用いて、地域ごとの観光需要の特性と季節性のパターンを明らかにすることを目的とした。因子負荷量の結果から秋田県内の季節性の変動は５つのパターンに集約された。また、因子得点による比較を行った結果、各地域の祭事や自然環境によってパターン化されていることが推察された。さらに本研究では2014年から2020年の間の推移についても検討を行った。その結果、2020年の減少は全地域に見られたが、地域によって傾向が異なることが明らかとなった。本研究は地域間の年次変化の違いは立地環境やアクセス面によるものと推察し、今後も広がる可能性を示唆した。

The Nexus Between Tourism Demand and Regional Characteristics: the Case of Japanese Islands
Takahashi Kantaro
International Journal of Islands Research ( Technological University Dublin ) 3 ( 1 ) 15 - 24 2022年09月 [査読有り]
研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
This paper explores the relationships between tourism demand and regional characteristics of the Japanese islands. A regression model was carried out for 113 islands designated by the Remote Island Development Act, which is one of the laws designed to promote rural areas in Japan. Results show that the transportation situation was related to the demand of arrival tourists, whereas the results were insignificant for the model with the response variable as lodging tourists. Meanwhile, location factors were significant for lodging tourists—that is, open sea areas have more lodging tourism demand than islands in inland sea areas. Furthermore, this study found that tourism demand was influenced by the affiliations of the prefectures. The islands belonging to prefectures that have megacities attracted more tourists than other areas. This means that islands located near small cities would have disadvantages in the tourism market. Based on these results, the degree of development in island regions, such as transportation systems, is influenced by tourism demand due to accessibility. In addition, the situation of nearby cities is also influenced by tourism demand on islands. This shows that island development would be associated with the urban areas of prefectures where the islands are located.

This paper aims at discussing outbound tourism demand during Japan's economic boom period in 1971 and 1989. First, demographical analysis results show that male travelers dominated in 1971, while the number of female and younger travelers increased by 1989. This paper also applied a regression model to demonstrate tourism demand and found that the distance friction increased in 1989. This result was influenced by tourists' preference for Asia-Pacific regions as opposed to European destinations. In terms of price competitiveness, many tourists were likely to visit more expensive countries, a finding that contradicts general theory. In this paper, it was concluded that at this time, many tourists demanded luxury goods and services with respect to overseas trips. Moreover, the economic situation, such as the increased cost of living in Japan, influenced the results.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of migration stock for tourism demand in Fiji. First, we demonstrated the nexus of migration source and international tourism demand using with statistical model. Second, we focused on the relation between the purpose of travelers and seasonality. In general, the linkage of tourism demand and migration were focused on the purpose of traveling, especially “visiting friends and relatives (VFR)." Seasonal trends between VFR and holiday trips showed a resemblance. From these results, the linkage between emigration countries and Fiji affected the latter's international tourism demand. Seasonality was one of the significant points.

This study explores the differences in tourism demand between French Polynesia and Singapore by applying the panel data technique. Although the tourism industry in small states tends to be the main economic activity, two of them have a different economic structure; French Polynesia is highly dependent on the tourism industry, while Singapore has several service industries. This paper applies the tourism demand model to panel data from 2008 to 2013. Different elasticities are observed in the model estimation between the two islands, such as income elasticity and transportation accessibility. Additionally, this paper compares time dummies to estimate the impact of global bankruptcy in 2008. The results show that French Polynesia has slightly declined, while Singapore has gradually increased since 2008. An implication of this study is that the demand in a destination highly dependent on the tourism industry tends to result in a relatively high-income market, but the economy is affected by global phenomena. Meanwhile, a destination that owns diversified industries is likely to have good accessibility, and the global economic impact is lower in the tourism market.

This paper demonstrates the nexus of tourism demand and the migrants from small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific region using an econometric approach. Emigrants are an important element of island society. The tourism industry is crucial for many islands. Although the nexus of tourism and migration has been discussed in developed countries, especially in terms of Visiting Friend and Relatives tourism, this topic is more significant for (SIDS). A tourism demand model considers the regional differences of ten island states. The result shows that migrants generate tourism demand. This result, therefore, indicates that migrants should be considered one of the possibilities for generating tourism demand.

研究論文（学術雑誌） 単著
This study addresses the configuration of economies dominated by the tourism industry and investigates whether tourism-led growth applies to them. The results show that small countries tend to base their economy largely on tourism. High tourism industry shared countries are also likely to have low economic openness and established domestic markets. Additionally, economically booming countries are unlikely to be tourism-dominated. In summary, the tourism-led growth hypothesis applies to small countries with established domestic economies and limited economic openness, while it may not apply to developing countries, especially those in the process of an economic boom.
