As tourism has been changing in recent years, the new style of guide activity “interpretation” (A means of communicating ideas and feelings that helps people enrich their understanding) is becoming more important. It’s the same in Japan, and many challenges to introduce interpretation as a method of guiding activity can be seen. So we have conducted nationwide surveys about the activities and organization of Voluntary tour guide in local areas, which is recently developing remarkably and has the possibility to make interpretation more popular in Japan. It has become clear that Voluntary tour guide has so much diversity and flexibility in the actual condition of organization and activity, that it has been able to be accepted easily by local residents. Therefore, it can play an important role in providing more opportunities for people to take part in regional development. And from the viewpoint of visitors, it can be said that they should be provided with a range of guide activities, so that their individual needs can be appropriately accommodated. To that point, Voluntary tour guide also has the possibility to create a diversity of guided tour settings in the aspect of contents and charge.
