Abstract(in English) The prevalence of Blogs has enabled observation of the personal experiences in a certain location and time. Such information were traditionally unavailable except indirectly through local newspapers and periodicals. This paper proposes a method of obtaining spatially-specific experiences of urban visitors, for example, visitors' activities at several sight-seeing spots and their evaluations, by extracting association rules from the contents of Blog articles. By geographical mapping of Blog articles, the proposed system enables users to observe visitors' real activities and impressions of their visiting places, which are often more diverse than the guidebooks and more trustworthy than the advertisements.
