“Virtual Enoshima”, completed with this amazing speed and quality, is scheduled to be released in Fortnite.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery of Enoshima while experiencing Fortnite’s unique gameplay will undoubtedly be an incredible experience.

What’s even more noteworthy is that these talented creators who can produce such high-quality virtual spaces will continue to collaborate in the future. This brings enormous potential to the future of virtual tourism in Japan.

Digital Tourism for 1700 Municipalities Across Japan

Considering the incredible quality of Virtual Enoshima created by Koo-san and other talented creators, the grandeur and potential of this project become even more prominent.

The impact would be immeasurable if high-quality worlds like Virtual Enoshima were applied to all 1700 municipalities across Japan!

Furthermore, by leveraging Fortnite’s gameplay, it can provide a new experience of learning about Japan while having fun, going beyond a mere tourism simulation.

If this project is realized, it will truly be a “digital tourism revolution” where players from around the world can travel across Japan from the comfort of their homes.

Virtual Tourism Revolution: Bringing 7 Billion People to Japan

JAPAN DAO aims for nothing less than a tourism revolution. Their ambitious goal is to “create Japan in Fortnite and bring 7 billion people to Japan“.

Players worldwide experience Japan’s charm through the game, and this experience leads to actual visits to Japan. This new form of tourism promotion has the potential to bring significant changes to Japan’s tourism industry.

Future Prospects

The project has a grand vision of recreating 1700 Japanese municipalities in virtual space and conveying their charm to people worldwide. By realistically expressing each region’s characteristics and culture and providing interactive experiences, it creates a new form of tourism.

The success of Virtual Enoshima will lay the foundation for further project development and give momentum to expansion into other regions. As the fusion of regional revitalization and digital technology progresses, it is expected to bring innovation to Japan’s entire tourism industry.

New tourism experiences will continue to emerge, powerfully appealing Japan’s charm to tourists from around the world.
