SeiRogai showcased the future of travel at the 9th Minato Genki Fair, held on October 12, 2025, at the Tokyo Prince Hotel Garden Island. The event was organized by Minato City.

Under this year’s theme, “Experience the Future”, SeiRogai showcased Global Virtual Travel, providing booth visitors with an immersive glimpse into sustainable travel through VR360 virtual tours. Attendees explored destinations in Japan that are typically inaccessible to the public, journeying through breathtaking landscapes and culturally rich sites as if they were truly there.

Event attendees engaged with the VR360 virtual tour experience

The VR360 experience captured the curiosity of both children and adults, with children in particular enthusiastically engaging in the virtual tours. Visitors were able to “travel” across Japan in a highly immersive and memorable way, experiencing the sights and stories firsthand.

Feedback from participants reflected their excitement, with comments such as:
“Wonderful. It makes me want to travel.”
“This would be great for people who can’t travel.”
“Wow, I can see so many things. I’m surprised.”
“I was impressed to see the top of Zojoji Temple’s gate—something you usually can’t see.”

Overall, many visitors were impressed by being able to look at a 360-degree view with each scene beautifully captured to deliver an extraordinary immersive experience.

Transforming Virtual Travel: Real-World Feedback Driving Global Innovation

Event attendee immersed in a virtual tour that provides access to places inaccessible to the public.

The enthusiastic feedback from visitors underscores the broad value and real-world applications of the Global Virtual Travel (GVT) platform. Comments such as “This would be great for people who can’t travel” emphasize GVT’s role in promoting equality of access, allowing individuals with mobility challenges or travel restrictions to experience destinations that would otherwise remain beyond reach. The platform creates new opportunities for inclusive travel and deeper cultural engagement.

Visitors’ fascination with viewing normally inaccessible sites, such as the top of Zojoji Temple’s gate, demonstrates GVT’s potential to showcase hidden cultural treasures and heritage areas responsibly. These virtual experiences not only preserve restricted locations but also promote sustainable tourism and raise awareness of their historical and cultural significance.

Equally important, the participants shared that the experience inspired them to visit the featured destinations in person. This aligns directly with one of SeiRogai’s core goals, motivating viewers to engage in real-world travel and support local economies through tourism.

Collectively, these insights highlight the merits of the Global Virtual Travel platform in advancing regional revitalization through the digital conservation of historical artifacts, revenue generation for local communities, and the promotion of accessible and inclusive travel. Through GVT, SeiRogai strengthens Japan’s inbound tourism and connects its cultural heritage with audiences worldwide.

Building on the positive response from attendees, SeiRogai aims to further expand its virtual tours and share Japan’s hidden beauty with audiences worldwide. SeiRogai continues to use digital innovation to preserve cultural heritage, empower local communities, and promote sustainable tourism that connects people more deeply with Japan’s spirit and traditions.
