SeiRogai, Inc. and Fuchu City’s New Partnership | The Potential of VR360°  Virtual Tour for Regional Revitalization

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted the businesses of local communities, especially regarding tourism activities, proving to be a significant challenge for the promotion of tourism and regional revitalization. At SeiRogai, we aim to address such challenges by delivering solutions that showcase the regional cultural diversity of Japan to domestic and international audiences.

SeiRogai has partnered with Fuchu City to develop the ‘Fuchu City VR360° Tour’ in an effort to address the challenges faced by local communities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour aims to showcase Japan’s regional cultural diversity to domestic and international audiences, while promoting tourism and cultural regional revitalization. 

Japan’s history and culture are deeply ingrained in the ancient practices of Shinto, a unique and traditional belief system native to Japan centered around deep respect for nature and spirits known as ‘Kami’, found in natural elements such as trees, rocks, and rivers. The belief and practice of the Shinto tradition has greatly shaped the nation’s architecture and landscapes. One of the highlights of the tour is Ōkunitama Shrine, one of the five iconic ‘Tokyo Go-sha’ shrines, built in appreciation to its protecting Kami.

The shrine holds a rich history dating back approximately 1,900 years, and is a cultural landmark representative as the main shrine of the ancient Musashi Province, known today as Tokyo metropolitan area as well as parts of Yokohama, Saitama, and Kanagawa Prefectures. Ōkunitama Shrine is conveniently located only 5 minutes away from Fuchu Station and is a must-see location of Fuchu City. 

Besides the fascinating cultural aspects of the region, Fuchu City is also known for its sports-oriented activities, as it is home to two of the top-tier Japanese league rugby teams, the Suntory Sungoliath and Toshiba Brave Lupus Tokyo, as well as the location to the Tokyo Horse Racecourse, host of the yearly Japanese Derby competition. The combination of cultural activities and unique attractions surrounded by its natural beauty make Fuchu City a coveted destination to all visitors.

The historical roots and cultural relevance of Ōkunitama Shrine are aligned with SeiRogai’s mission to offer educational and narrative-based content for all. For such reasons, combining Japan’s most emblematic cultural monuments with SeiRogai, Inc.’s exclusive VR360° tour experience is the ideal way to capture and convey the sentiment behind Ōkunitama Shrine’s past and Japan’s rich cultural heritage.  SeiRogai is excited to bring you Ōkunitama Shrine’s rich history through new lenses and unveiling a history waiting to be explored.

The Fuchu City VR360° virtual tour is available now on SeiRogai’s proprietary platform, Global Virtual Travel.

Impressions of the VR360° Virtual Tour Experience Partnership Project | VR Virtual Tour Introduction Event 

In October 2022, an event was held to introduce the Fuchu City VR virtual tour, a partnership project between SeiRogai and Fuchu City. The event included a demonstration for the residents and government officials of Fuchu City, who experienced firsthand the positive outcomes of showcasing the region’s unique features through a creative and speedy approach. In addition to the Fuchu City promotional event, SeiRogai also organized an international VR virtual tour experience event, with participants from diverse international backgrounds both within and outside of Japan. The event provided an opportunity to experience the potential of SeiRogai’s VR virtual tours.

Check out some of the feedback below:

■ Comment Highlights ① Regarding VR Virtual Tours (From overseas participants and Fuchu City residents)

• “[The 360o Virtual Tour] was a brand-new experience, and now I want to visit Fuchu City in person, a place where I have not been to before.”

• “Through the VR tour I discovered Fuchu City’s appeal I had previously missed out.”

• “I have seen several other PR videos showcasing Ōkunitama Shrine in the past. SeiRogai’s VR tour introduced places I had never been before, allowing me to discover the charms of Fuchu City I had not known.”

■ Comment Highlights ② Regarding the Project in Partnership with SeiRogai, Inc. (From Fuchu City Office)

• “I was concerned about the tight schedule, but thanks to SeiRogai’s swift responses, the project was carried out smoothly.”

• “We were struggling on how to showcase the features of the region Japanese people are unaware of. When the government develops such strategies, it tends to be too formal, and the production is constrained by various factors. Having SeiRogai take the lead on the video creation, using original and unconstrained ideas was a significant advantage.”

※ Comments have been slightly modified for summarization purposes.

The feedback from the events was overwhelmingly positive, with overseas participants and Fuchu City residents commenting on the brand-new experience and their desire to visit Fuchu City. Fuchu City officials also praised SeiRogai’s swift responses and original ideas in carrying out the project.
