Ube City Enhances Event Accessibility with AI Technology

Ube City, located along the Seto Inland Sea in Japan's Yamaguchi Prefecture, has taken a significant step toward modernizing its event information dissemination with the introduction of the "Ube City Event Information Aggregation Site" on July 1, 2026. This new service, developed by Infomotion, employs advanced AI technology to automatically gather and present event information from various sources, ensuring the local community and visitors have easy access to a wide range of happenings in the city.

Background and Purpose of the Service

As a city renowned for its scenic beauty and rich industrial heritage, Ube is often referred to as the "City of Sculpture". It hosts a variety of seasonal events throughout the year, including art exhibitions, music festivals, and local celebrations centered around Tokiwa Park. However, despite the abundance of events, there have been challenges in effectively communicating information to residents and visitors. The city's information dissemination was hindered by a lack of centralized platforms, resulting in missed opportunities for locals and tourists alike to engage in these cultural activities.

The newly implemented event aggregation site addresses these issues by consolidating event information from the city’s website, tourism associations, and other private organizations into one accessible location. This initiative aims to enhance community engagement, attract more visitors to the area, and provide local groups and businesses with better platforms for information sharing.

Features of the Ube City Event Information Aggregation Site

1. Comprehensive Event Collection: The service leverages patented AI technology to automatically fetch event details from a wide array of websites and social media channels. This includes both large-scale events organized by municipalities and tourism boards, as well as small, community-driven activities.

2. User-Submitted Events: Users can submit their events even if they do not have a website or social media presence. A dedicated registration form makes it easier for event organizers to share information, creating more opportunities for diverse events to be promoted.

3. Simplified Access to Event Information: All accumulated event data will be distributed through the aggregation site, allowing users to browse local events effortlessly. Features include search functionalities based on keywords, dates, categories (18 in total), and locations within the city, along with sorting options by upcoming events or newly added listings, as well as a popularity ranking system.

4. Minimized Administrative Burden: Infomotion will manage the collection, verification, distribution, and operation of the site, significantly reducing the workload for Ube City staff.
