2010/02/01
On Feb. 1st 2010, Saga city, in collaboration with SoftBank Telecom Corp. and Tonchidot Corp., announced that they have created a tourist attraction for the Saga Jyoka Japanese Doll Festival using the iPhone application Sekai Camera.
The attraction involves the limited time placement of “Sekai Camera Stamp Rally Air Tags” as well as “Ookuma Shigenobu Voice Tags”, and other promotional air tags to be created by celebreties born in Saga, with the goal of further attracting visitors to the event, as well as increasing travels within the city (Ookuma Shigenobu being one of the most famous Samurais born in Saga city, who was also the 17th prime minister of Japan). Users will be encouraged to explore the city while looking for these air tags.
Furthermore, the project will install permanent “Visitor’s Information Air Tags” at more than 200 locations in central Saga city. These air tags will help visitors learn more about Saga city’s culinary experiences, history, local attractions, as well as shopping areas.
This is the first such tourism promotion in the Kyushuu island using the Sekai Camera application.
Saga Jyoka Japanese Doll Festival is held from Fen 20th till the end of March at the six main venues of Saga city (the Chookokan museum, the historic Koga Bank, the historic Koga family residence, the historic Sanshou Bank, the historic Ushijima family residence, and the historic Fukuda family residence).
