About Virtual MIYAZAKI
Virtual MIYAZAKI is a metaverse space recreating Miyazaki Prefecture's tourist destinations on the metaverse platform "cluster." As Miyazaki Prefecture's first tourism PR initiative using metaverse technology, it aims to increase awareness and attract young tourists, primarily those in their 20s, by not just recreating tourist spots but also incorporating game elements into the space.
Overview of the New Space "Touring the Western Area by E-bike"
This world recreates the western area of Miyazaki Prefecture, which features the beautiful natural environment spreading across the foothills of the Kirishima mountains. Visitors can experience the charm of various locations while touring the world on customizable E-bikes through diverse landscapes including tourist spots such as Ikoma Plateau (Kobayashi City), Sekino-o Falls (Miyakonojo City), and Rokkannonmiike (Ebino City).
