N2 - The number of tourists to Japan from foreign countries is drastically increased in recent years. However, there is a scene where the traveler is made uneasy by differences between the word, the custom and the culture in traveling abroad. We are aiming at the construction the horizontal search engine intended for tourism information in the Kyushu region as a test case of a special vertical search engine. As the first step for the research, we extracted 312 events from a public tourism portal site and compared the ranking of each event in the site with that in the general search engine. We confirmed a weak correlation of the ranking. Moreover, we found that the big difference of rankings for the events with strong regionality.The number of tourists to Japan from foreign countries is drastically increased in recent years.
