This paper discusses the significance of promoting international exchange through tourism between 'emigration prefectures' and the host countries.Over 100 years have passed since the first emigrants crossed the Pacific Ocean to various areas of the world from Japan, producing so-called Nikkei (Japanese heritage) people around the world.Wakayama is one of the prefectures which produced a large number of emigrants.The number of people who remember the history of our ancestors is however decreasing rapidly, and a method to record it for future is urgently needed.The paper suggests that it would be useful to develop a new relationship between Nikkei people and people living in the hometown based on the emigrants' history and that efforts to strengthen such ties would result not only in accurate documentation of the emigration history but also promoting tourism and mutual understanding.
