Enhancing Visitor Experience through Digital Innovation
In a pioneering move, Yomiuriland, a renowned amusement park in Japan, has partnered with Inagi City and various local associations to introduce state-of-the-art digital maps. This initiative aims to promote visitor engagement and stimulate local interactions within the vibrant community of Inagi City.
Overview of the Initiative
As of April 7, 2025, visitors to Yomiuriland will benefit from the “Yomiuriland Digital 集遊 Map” and the “Inagi City Digital Map.” This innovative approach integrates the offerings of four major facilities—Yomiuriland amusement park, HANA・BIYORI, Yomiuriland's Scenic Hot Springs, and TOKYO GIANTS TOWN—into a single, user-friendly digital platform named “PlatinaParks,” developed by Boldright Corporation. By utilizing this digital map, visitors can seamlessly navigate through these attractions while also exploring the broader offerings of Inagi City.
Promoting Local Tourism
The integration of these digital maps represents Japan's first public-private partnership that connects leisure facilities with a municipal tourism map seamlessly within a digital framework. Users can effortlessly switch between the maps with just one click, encouraging foot traffic not only within the amusement park but throughout the city, thereby enhancing local commerce and community engagement.
Both digital maps provide real-time updates and are accessible through mobile web browsers, ensuring that users can easily check current conditions, such as wait times for attractions or nearby restaurants. The “Yomiuriland Digital 集遊 Map” features:
- - Multiple facility navigation for easier transitions between attractions
- - Live updates on attraction wait times and visitor traffic
- - Support for 11 languages, catering to the growing number of international visitors
- - Visual routing to enhance visitor comfort and reduce reliance on paper maps
Exploring Inagi City
The “Inagi City Digital Map” enables users to discover local restaurants and attractions effortlessly. The platform incorporates features like keyword and route searches to guide visitors effectively. Additionally, the map highlights hidden gems of Inagi City, enhancing the tourist experience by providing a fresh perspective on local culture and experiences at their fingertips.
Incentivizing Visitor Engagement
To commemorate the launch of these digital maps, a special “Digital Map Launch Commemorative Stamp Rally” will take place from April 7 to May 6, 2025. Participants can collect stamps from three locations: Yomiuriland, HANA・BIYORI, and TOKYO GIANTS TOWN. Depending on the number of stamps collected, guests will receive coupons ranging from 100 to 500 yen for food and drinks at select locations.
Conclusion
With over 2.5 million visitors annually, Yomiuriland is poised to lead the charge in regional revitalization alongside Inagi City. This initiative not only enhances the visitor experience but also fosters a spirit of community and connection within the region—a unique and comprehensive approach to tourism in Japan.
