The Bingo Koku-fu Festival has been loved by local people for 62 years. Last year, it welcomed 50,000 visitors, approximately 1.5 times the population of Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture (approx. 34,000 people), making it a major event representing the city in both name and reality.
However, traffic congestion and jams around the venue on the day of the festival have been a challenge. In addition, the increasing personnel and security costs for traditional parking management have been an ongoing concern.
To solve these traffic issues and systematize management, akippa's official parking operation has been decided starting this year.
By making parking paid and pre-booked, we aim to enable planned vehicle guidance and improve security. Furthermore, by introducing cashless payments, we eliminate the need for cash transactions on-site, not only reducing management risks for the organizers but also realizing smooth operations that are stress-free for both visitors and staff.
As a "problem-solving company," we will continue to work with local governments and event organizers nationwide to solve various parking problems.
