The objective of this paper is to clarify the urban development process of Beppu City and its formation as a modern hot spring resort, from the beginning of the Meiji period until the outbreak of the Second World War.One characteristic of the urban development of Beppu is that it began relatively early for Japan, and inter-city transportation between Beppu and Oita was established as early as 1900. These early developments were mainly realized by private capital, especially the transportation route between Beppu and Oita, which was operated by mainly local magnates and people from Ehime Prefecture. The urban development that started in the Meiji period eventually became the basis for Beppu’s modern hot spring tourism.During the Taisho period, short-term visitors to Beppu increased. Cheap inns, built originally for customers of therapeutic baths, were converted into hotels, and additionally many accommodation facilities for short-term visitors were built. Moreover, land consolidation projects were carried out, and these newly-adjusted areas became home to new accommodation and entertainment facilities. The popularity of Beppu as a tourist destination gained momentum when the entrepreneur Aburaya Kumahachi and the city government started promoting and advertising it as a tourist destination.When Beppu achieved the status of a city in 1924, tourism development was progressing well, and even more leisure complexes were constructed. From the beginning of the Showa period in 1926, the Beppu government started to advertise to tourists on an international scale. Two expositions were held, but after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, the number of foreign tourists started to decrease, and when the war situation worsened, the number of Japanese tourists also declined.

本稿は、別府と並び数少ない温泉観光都市である熱海の近代期における発展過程を、中央政府や民間企業、政財界人などの開発者の構想や目的に注目しながら明らかにするものである。近代熱海の温泉観光地としての発展は、中央政府や在京政財界による鉄道交通網の整備と在京政財界人や地元民間企業による温泉掘削を土台として進んだ。温泉掘削は、温泉資源の利用を拡大させ、鉄道交通網の整備は、東京との地理的距離の克服に寄与した。その結果、在京企業をはじめとする民間企業の温泉観光業への新規参入を促した。また、近代熱海は、衛生思想の普及などを背景に多くの温泉別荘地が形成された。さらに、中央政府は、熱海の良質な温泉資源に注目し、日本初の温泉療養施設を整備した。以上のことから、近代熱海は、東京との地理的な近接性と中央政府も認めた良質な温泉資源を武器に、在京政財界や民間企業による温泉観光業への新規参入や別荘地開発が進み、温泉観光都市として発展を遂げたのである。
