Summary The local economy in Japan is hoping for the immediate regional promotion plan to revitalize the local economy because of its deterioration. There is the increasing momentum toward food security of local production for local consumption and "regional gourmet food" has been noticed a measures of regional resource. Thus, we suggest "Moring Market" and "Sightseeing Boat" as one of a method for the local revitalization and examine both regional resources with the field investigation and the literature research. As a result, we showed its current characteristics and indicated possibility of the costal revitalization.
