This thesis is to find out the impact on an attitude toward Japan after visiting Japan. To this end, this paper was undertaken by focusing on travel enthusiasts to Japan, a specific group among Korean travelers. This study shows that this group is divided into the one and the other according to the perception of Japan. The former distinguishes between the Japanese culture and Japan as a source of Anti-Japanese sentiment, which causes ambivalence toward Japan. However, the latter opposes this structure of feeling and argues that it is impossible making the distinction because the Japanese culture and Japan have a complex interrelation. Therefore, the latter criticizes Korean who tries to divide Japan into parties and, moreover, perceives Japan as more complicated with dialectical cognition. According to them, travel to Japan provides travelers a chance to reason and redefine Japan.
