Installation background
The Nara City Tourist Information Center is a tourist information center located in the former JR Nara Station building. It is conveniently located in front of JR Nara Station, and offers services such as a tourist information counter, pamphlet corner, and luggage storage. There is also a cafe inside the facility, making it a place where many tourists from Japan and abroad gather.
WiFiBOX is currently installed in 11 locations in the Kansai area, including Kansai International Airport, Itami Airport, Kyoto Tourist Information Center (KyoNavi), and Sannomiya HATENA, but this is the first time it has been installed in Nara Prefecture. It becomes. In particular, many tourists visit Nara Park, which is located about 5 minutes by car from JR Nara Station, where you can enjoy interacting with deer, and the area around Todaiji Temple, which is famous for the Great Buddha, so it serves as a guide for general tourism in Nara City. By installing it at an information center, it can be used more conveniently across regions, such as meeting the communication needs of foreign tourists visiting Japan, or picking it up at the Nara City Tourist Information Center and returning it at Kansai International Airport. You will be able to receive it. In addition, we decided to install it so that it can be used for temporary use in Japan, such as for sightseeing or business in Japan, or for temporary use such as when there is a shortage of gigabytes at the end of the month.
