We have constructed Arukikata Travelogue Dataset and released it free of
charge for academic research. This dataset is a Japanese text dataset with a
total of over 31 million words, comprising 4,672 Japanese domestic travelogues
and 9,607 overseas travelogues. Before providing our dataset, there was a
scarcity of widely available travelogue data for research purposes, and each
researcher had to prepare their own data. This hinders the replication of
existing studies and fair comparative analysis of experimental results. Our
dataset enables any researchers to conduct investigation on the same data and
to ensure transparency and reproducibility in research. In this paper, we
describe the academic significance, characteristics, and prospects of our
dataset.
