About the Project

Overview This information center was planned with inbound support in mind to convey the charm of Tokyo Chuo City. In addition to providing face-to-face information in multiple languages, providing free Wi-Fi services, and providing information on traditional Chuo City crafts, we provide a variety of services, such as the installation of multilingual touch panel terminals that provide Tourism information.
Issues/Themes The facility will provide necessary information and services to many travelers, including foreign tourists visiting Japan, and will effectively convey the charm of Chuo City, which was the center of Edo, with its tradition and modern advancement.
Space Solution/Realization In order to convey the charm of Chuo City, a city where Edo culture flourished, we developed a graphical space design that boldly utilizes traditional patterns and colors under the theme of "Japanese + Modern". In addition, in order to improve the mobility of Tourism customers, in addition to distributing materials such as face-to-face information and pamphlets, we have introduced the Video Production device "OVERVIEW" that allows people to freely walk around the Chuo City from the sky using two multi-monitors to effectively provide information.
