In this paper, The Author analyzed tenant rights mobility in paddy field area in Hokkaido at mainly the second half 1980's from the point of view that agricultural land problem means a structural problem of regional agriculture. In recent years, the basic characteristics of tenant rights mobility in paddy field area in Hokkaido, are an increase in tenancy contracts and falling agricultural land prices. But, the forms of tenant rights mobility in paddy field area in Hokkaido show clear regional differences. That is, in the older developed paddy field area in Hokkaido, the forms of tenant rights mobility show advanced tenancy contracts.
