Renewal of Yamanashi Prefectural Mount Fuji World Heritage Center

The Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, which preserves the value of Mount Fuji, registered as a World Cultural Heritage site as "an object of worship and a source of artistic inspiration," for future generations, underwent renovations in the spring of 2022.
The renovated facility features a wealth of displays explained in an easy-to-understand manner, offering panel displays and interactive content that make the charm of Mount Fuji more enjoyable to understand.

To effectively convey to visitors, including many foreigners, that Mount Fuji is "an object of worship and a source of artistic inspiration," our company created a spatial experience that links with smartphones and tablets, as well as displays displays guide system called "Fuji Guide" that includes multilingual (7 languages) explanations and audio commentary.
In "World Heritage Mount Fuji VR," which you can experience with VR goggles in 360° video, you can follow the path of faith walked by pilgrims in the past, from Misaka Pass, which has been depicted in ukiyo-e prints, to the summit of Mount Fuji. We aimed to create content that allows you to learn more about Mount Fuji through dynamic perspectives that you wouldn't normally see, and to make you want to visit the actual site.


[Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests]
Since its completion in 2016, displays has faced challenges due to its interactive nature, resulting in a limited amount of displays materials and insufficient explanatory text for international visitors. This renovation was requested to make the exhibit easier to understand and to better convey its appeal.


[Solution]
displays graphics have been rearranged for greater clarity, missing information has been added to the explanatory text, and the panel arrangement has been carefully considered to guide visitors along a smoother displays route.
displays guide system converts all existing apps into web browser-based applications and adds multilingual support to ensure that explanatory content is easily understood regardless of cultural background. Furthermore, the use of 3D maps and 360-degree still image content enhances the immersive experience. Operationally, a user-friendly CMS (Content Management System) has been implemented, making it easy to update explanatory texts.
For the VR production, we created content that allows users to trace the pilgrimage route of Mount Fuji in VR, employing immersive footage shot by drones and a simultaneous playback system designed with operational efficiency in mind.
