A seaside town to behold: Higashiizu's digital map.

*You can view the map from the Higashiizu Town Tourist Association website.

.
We are pleased to announce the pre-release of Higashiizu's digital map.🎉
.
This pilot project was developed with the cooperation of GEOMARK Inc. and is available for a limited time until the end of February!
.
.
What makes the digital map great
.
1. A sweeping illustration of the east coast!
We used the sunrise over Higashiizu and the mountain terrain as the main visual. It clearly shows this town of sea and mountains. (We are still adjusting the sunrise position.💦)
.
.
2. Supports foreign-language translation!
The digital map serves domestic visitors and supports four languages—Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean—so international guests can easily look up nearby spots.
.
.
This is a limited release for the pilot until the end of February, but based on usage and survey results we plan to expand and strengthen the content toward year-round service!
.
We welcome responses to the survey in English as well!
.
.
If we receive positive feedback, plans for next year include...
〇 Adding listings for restaurants and souvenir shops alongside nature and sightseeing spots
〇 Creating a digital archive of historic sites with audio files and videos
〇 Mapping recommended routes such as hot-spring steam walks, moon-viewing strolls, and harbor walks
.
And more... We aim to offer tourism information that is uniquely easy to share because it is digital!
