New Map in the News Again
昨日の日経新聞の長野版で最近に出来た戸倉上山田温泉の英語の散歩地図・グルメガイドが掲載されました。外国人目線で作ったマップという事、注目を浴びています。亀清旅館に泊まっているお客さんにも喜ばれています。「こんなに分かり易い、便利なマップは日本で初めて見た！」と、この地図がなければ分からなかったレストラン、お店を楽しまれた。
そして、先日の東京への宣伝キャラバンで、主な出版社にも褒めて頂きました。「私たちも参考になりました！レストランの説明は特に分かり易かった」と言ってくれました。
これで戸倉上山田温泉のイメージアップになっていけばいいよね。
Yesterday's Nagano version of the Nikkei newspaper had an article on Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's new English Walking Map / Gourmet Guide. They liked the fact that it was designed by foreigners for foreigners. Lots of our foreigner guests here at Kamesei have been using the map lately. I've gotten comments from our guests that no other town in Japan has such easy to understand and helpful information. Using the map, they were able to experience new restaurants and shops that they otherwise would not have known about.
And during my marketing "caravan" to Tokyo the last couple of days, several publishers commented favorably on the map, too. One major map maker went so far as to say they learned some tips from my map, especially about the friendly way the various restaurants were introduced.
I hope the map is helping to further improve the image of our onsen town, Togura Kamiyamada.
