The electric kickboard "Free Mile plus" provided by Creative Japan Co., Ltd. has been adopted as one of the means of transportation for walking around Wakura Onsen in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture. This initiative will be led by the Wakura Onsen Tourism Association (Chairman: Sora Yoshihiko Tada) and will be a demonstration experiment to encourage tourists to explore the hot spring town. ◆Even more interesting with Free Mile plus, Wakura Onsen sightseeing electric scooter "Free Mile plus" allows you to go sightseeing with "a little glue", so you can take advantage of a little free time, and because it's electric, you can move around without getting tired. . In addition, you can enjoy the uniqueness of Wakura Onsen in a different way, as you can see the scenery from a higher vantage point than you would on a bicycle or on foot. Mr. Yamaguchi, Wakura Onsen Tourism Association: Why we decided to introduce Free Mile plus and future prospects At Wakura Onsen, customers have been spending 2 to 3 hours in the "gap" between check-in and dinner. We made good use of it to explore the hot spring town, but since Wakura Onsen is a hot spring area within a radius of about 2 km from the center, walking or renting a bicycle would be tiring, and on the contrary, we would have to use a taxi or rent a car. It wasn't even that far away, so it was "short for the obi, long for the sash". Meanwhile, in January 2021, when the topic of public road driving of "electric kickboards" began to become popular, a plan to introduce it to Wakura Onsen on a trial basis was raised, and discussions with related parties will proceed. Among them, I came to know about Free Mile plus on the Internet, and I was attracted to the powerful and stable ride that was different from conventional electric scooters, so I decided to introduce it. If you actually ride the Free Mile plus and stroll around the hot spring town, you can walk around the hot spring town at your own speed (time), and you can feel the "excitement and excitement" that is different from walking or walking. I was able to have a good time while walking around, so I am proud to introduce it to customers who are walking around the hot spring town. Currently, the demonstration experiment is continuing until the end of March 2022, but in the future, based on the data obtained from the demonstration experiment, we aim to provide a mobility service that allows people to easily stroll around the hot spring town. I hope that the local people will be able to use it easily. ◆ What is Free Mile plus? A new era of electric kickboards that combine power and stability. You can stand and run around the field in style, and most importantly, in comfort and safety. You don't have to give up anything just because it's an electric scooter. Freer and more fun. It is an innovative electric kickboard that can be played anywhere in the city, in the mountains, or anywhere.
