This research has taken a new approach about the aspect of maritime trade route changes between Palhae and Japan. First, in the late 8th century, Palhae pushed dual diplomacy after the diplomatic conflicts. When Palhae needed a conference or official contact with Japanese Court, they headed for Houkuriku(北陸). However, when it avoided meeting with Japanese Court and focused on the large-scale trade with Japan, it arrived in Dewa(出羽). Second, despite of Japan’s request for the use of Tsukushi Line several times, Palhae arrived in Dewa. Accordingly, Japan constructed the Guesthouse in Noto, officially securing the arrival in Houkuriku. This change of Japanese policy was the result of negotiation. Palhae rearranged substantial contents such as the visit term and the scale of envoy group. Third, the change of destination from Dewa to Houkuriku offers the evidence that the navigation development was not the direct cause. Houkuriku routes had been used from the Goguryeo period and Palhae acquired the knowledge about monsoon from the beginning of trade with Japan. Ultimately, the change that around 105 envoys arrived at Houkuriku in the cold season implies the process of trade stabilization thanks to the thought-out conference about pending diplomacy problems between two counties.
