| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the existence base of non-marginal settlements in mountain villages of modern Japan. "Marginal settlements" which was the coinage of one sociologist gave the impression that all mountain villages will soon collapse. However, the condition of all mountain villages is not marginal settlement. Existence base of non-marginal settlements in mountain villages of modern Japan are as follows. The first factor is improvements to the road and transportation infrastructure to cities that have made much more accessible to inhabitants of the mountain villages. The second factor depends on whether a region can develop and market itself as a vacation resort destination.
