About the 'AR Wall (City Center Experience Initiative)'
The 'AR Wall (City Center Experience Initiative)' is a hands-on content where the charm of the town emerges in AR by simply holding a smartphone over the illustrated map of Fukuchiyama installed inside Vierra Fukuchiyama.
No app download is required; anyone can enjoy it by simply scanning a QR code.
When you select a category of interest, information about tourist spots and shops pops up on the map. Additionally, we have prepared content where you can enjoy taking commemorative photos with original illustrations using calligraphy by Fumiyo Kouno, making it enjoyable for both adults and children together.
The name of the newly renewed free space, 'Chiitoma', embodies the desire for people to 'stop (toma) for a little while (chiito)'.
It aims to create new value for Vierra Fukuchiyama as a space that symbolizes the concept of transforming the station from a mere transit point into a place where people stop by, spend time, and nurture connections with the community and others.
