Abstract When compared to metropolitan cities, rural cities have several disadvantages in trying to attract international students. They face aging population, a smaller number of companies and less employment opportunities. However, these areas can actually provide several merits for international students such as inexpensive living-costs, rich natural environment, and local culture. Several municipalities have started working with local universities and companies to attract and support international students. In this paper, these joint efforts in five municipalities in Japan and Australia will be compared and categorized according to their economic/demographic/linguistic conditions. The resulting social impact will also be introduced.
