Fussa City, Tokyo, has produced a new sightseeing guide map, "Mapuru Fussa-Birth to Happiness," and is distributing it at Fussa City Tourist Information Centers, such as Kurumiru Fussa, in order to promote the attractiveness of Fussa to people in and outside the city.

The map introduces Fussa's gourmet food, nature, and other attractive spots with walking routes that allow visitors to imagine what it would be like to actually visit.

In addition, a video introducing the three walking routes has been created, allowing visitors to relive the contents of the guide map.

■Lineup of three walking routes to give an image of Fussa City

The concept of the map is to help visitors visualize their visit to Fussa by listing Fussa's attractive spots as three recommended walking courses: "Base Side Street," "Japanese Culture and Waterfront," and "History and Nature. The courses feature a variety of gourmet foods from restaurants in the city, as well as local delicacies such as Fussa dogs and locally brewed sake, and natural spots.

■Focusing on inbound demand, the tour is available in four languages.

The number of foreign tourists visiting Japan, which had been stagnant due to the spread of the new coronavirus, has been recovering and is expected to increase further in the future. Of the 27,000 copies of the guide map produced, 20,000 copies were in Japanese, 3,000 in English, and 2,000 each in Chinese (simplified Chinese characters) and Korean.

Short videos of three walking courses of the guide map were made available using GoPros.

In November, we will release a short video showing three walking tours of the guide map of Fussa, using a GoPro.

The video will be released in November.
