PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow minimization of a total round distance of a route along which a tourist goes around to see a plurality of tourist resources and to allow reflection of his or her taste and temporal attribute information, such as business hours and holiday setting of each tourist resource, on the route.SOLUTION: Route determination means includes: listing-up means for listing up destinations; optimal round route search means for minimizing a total round time required for going around the destinations; and round route narrowing-down means for excluding round routes not matching temporal attribute information, which is time information of a database holding a time in which tourists can go around each destination as data, from a group of round routes listed up by the listing-up means. The optimal round route search means is applied to a round route group narrowed down by the round route narrowing-down means.
