About the Project

Overview This information center was planned with inbound tourism in mind, and aims to promote the attractions of Chuo City. In addition to providing face-to-face guidance in multiple languages, free Wi-Fi service, and information on traditional crafts in Chuo City, it also offers a variety of other services, including touch-screen terminals that provide Tourism information in multiple languages.
Issues/Themes The aim is to provide the necessary information and services to many travelers, including foreign visitors to Japan, and to be a facility that effectively conveys the charm of Chuo City, which was the heart of Edo, combining its traditions with its modern, cutting-edge appeal.
Space Solution/Realization In order to convey the charm of Chuo City Edo culture flourished, we developed a graphical spatial design that boldly makes use of traditional patterns and colors, with the theme of "Japanese + Modern." Furthermore, in order to increase the mobility of Tourism, in addition to face-to-face guidance and the distribution of pamphlets and other materials, we introduced a Video Production device called "OVERVIEW" that uses two multi-monitors to allow tourists to freely stroll around Chuo City from above, making it possible to provide effective information.
