The study shows that farmers' guesthouses contribute significantly to the preservation of cultural heritage and sustainable lifestyles by adhering to FAO values. Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture has been designated as a World Agricultural Heritage Site and is in the process of being registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site. Through GIS analysis, we are capturing the location of farmers' guesthouses and revealing the geographic arrangement of local resources associated with the houses. This includes factors such as land use, terrain, climate, and natural resources. This study highlights the importance of sustainable agricultural practices that protect natural resources, minimize environmental impacts, and promote resilience in the face of climate change.
