In various parts of Japan, efforts are being made to revitalize regions by increasing the number of tourists. Universities are also actively promoting studies on the theme of regional revitalization as a place
for practical social studies. The revitalization of the economy through tourism has been positioned as
one of the important national policies, and there is a need to develop and strengthen the tourism human
resources who are responsible for such policies. In this study, based on the study of a demonstration
project -studycation- conducted in Kozagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture, the ideal form and issues of
university students’ community development education are discussed.
