KYOTO--Fall leaf watchers headed for the famed Arashiyama district here can avoid the massive crowds through a trial website forecasting tourist congestion that utilizes data from their Wi-Fi smartphones.
The land ministry and Kyoto city and tourism officials jointly started the experiment on Nov. 10, which will continue through Dec. 17, for eight spots in the Arashiyama district, famed for beautiful fall foliage, such as Togetsukyo bridge.
“We want visitors to visit hidden areas which they didn’t know existed before to revitalize the entire Arashiyama district,” said an official of Kyoto's tourism office to promote meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE).
The official said the system could be extended to other tourist areas in Kyoto after seeing the test results. The Kyoto Arashiyama Travel Guide, which started Nov. 10, is at: (https://arashiyama.fun/?_submit=2018-11-12&type=all&lang=en).
According to the land ministry, data from visitors’ Wi-Fi smartphone usage is being used in the test, the first of its kind in Japan.
