Increasing demands for cultural/artistic information for inbound tourists are expected toward 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. Agency for Cultural Affairs has been developing“ Culture and the Arts Information Platform”, a portal site which publishes information on the cultural and artistic activities across Japan to home and abroad aiming to realize a “Nation Building Based on Culture and the Arts” using the 2020 Tokyo Games as a good opportunity. By making available this site to the public as open data, it allows local communities and cultural facility operators to register information and provide service systems. It will be supported in multiple languages by using automatic translation software in the future. Anticipating the launch of the site in January 2017, how to promote the provision and visualization of culture and art in an efficient manner by using the site is discussed in light of the importance of timely information distribution in this session.
