- kansai -
The first trip is Kansai
The NINJA route starts from the Kansai area, where there are many places related to NINJA.
The red route is a route that touches the history of Japan from ancient times to the world of samurai. Kyoto where Heiankyo was relocated. Furthermore, NINJA and others may have played an important role at Hoeizan-Enryakuji, where Saicho started the Tendai-shu and is close to Koga no Sato across Lake Biwa. In addition, you can enjoy routes around important bases in Japan, using NINJA as a clue, such as Sakai, which flourished as Venice in the Orient, and Osaka, which has reigned as the center of Japanese commerce for many years. It is also recommended to enjoy it in conjunction with Iga and Koyasan on the black route.
The Black Route has developed as an important base from a time much older than the transfer of the capital to Heiankyo, and can be said to be one of the roots of Japan.It is a route that allows you to experience the mountains, sea, sky, and rich nature of the Kumano-kodo and Kuｍano-sanja. NINJA trained on Kumano-kodo. You may be able to feel the shadow of NINJA alongside Kukai, who established a major base of esoteric Buddhism on Koyasan. And the NINJA of Iga no Sato may have played an important role in the establishment of Tokugawa Ieyasu's Edo Shogunate. This route allows you to enjoy the rich nature and gourmet food of Nanki and Ise-Shima.
Let's enjoy with "app"!
"SARF" is an app that makes the NINJA route a more immersive and special experience.
"SARF" is a service that allows you to enjoy various audio and music contents from your smartphone by utilizing the location information of GPS.
Just by keeping the app running, NINJA can act as a tourist guide in many languages at various tourist spots on the NINJA route, and sometimes protect you from the enemy NINJA. Beside the shogun, he will be like NINJA himself, who has given us various information.
Discover and enjoy the nature, culture, and history of various parts of Japan that can be seen from different perspectives in red and black.
"NINJA" has inherited the skill and spirit to the future while hiding in the shadows of the times. With the creation of the Timeless Transformation Technique, the power of "NINJA" was divided into two.
The "black" clan tries to change the past and create a peaceful future, while the "red" clan tries to stop it and protect the people living in the present and their history. The two forces were in fierce competition.
The story begins when the main character, Haru, who is a descendant of "NINJA", finds a history book that describes the battles of "NINJA". In the history book, the footprints of Momochi, a young man of the "black" clan, and Rin, a kunoichi and Goro, a ninja dog of the "red" clan, are recorded. Haru traces their steps with the help of a map, and by unraveling history books, he witnesses the truth of the battles of the "NINJA".
Sound AR "SARF" is a mechanism that utilizes GPS and beacon location information to deliver voice content linked to a specific location in multiple languages from a dedicated app.
By approaching the area displayed on the map, the audio content will be activated and the audio and music related to that area will be played.
It can be used in various situations such as city tours, stamp rallies, and pilgrimages to sacred places, just like taking an audio guide from a museum or art gallery out on the town.
Since the content is audio, it is safe and enjoyable because you are not "walking around" looking at your smartphone while strolling.
Another great feature is that even in the same location, visitors can experience different content depending on the situation, such as day and night, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
