Museums are a major attraction in tourist areas in Japan. This study paid attention to tourist areas that have a cluster of museums, and the analysis in this paper found that community activities are a key to making museums attractive for tourists. A case study of the Izu-kogen area, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the Azumino area of Nagano Prefecture found that community activities by both long-time residents and newcomers have promoted the profile of their area and thus played an important role in forming a cluster of museums and making art a tourist attraction.
