熱海は、ラブプラスで蘇るのか？世界も注目！

The beach resort town Atami, located about an hour from Tokyo, was Japan’s most popular romantic destination thirty or forty years ago. But with tourism down 40% since the 1970s, the town is tapping into an entirely new market of romantic vacationers — men so enthralled with Konami’s dating simulation game Love Plus that they’ll really come to Atami for the chance to spend a virtual weekend with their video game girlfriends.  “Atami has always been a romantic place, but it is now a romantic place for a modern generation,” says Atami’s mayor Sakae Saito.

The joint promotion between the town and Konami ran for less than two months — from mid-July to the end of August –  but in that time over 2,000 men visited the town to recreate the Atami vacation trip they had played in the video game. If they brought along an iPhone, they could also take pictures of themselves with their video loves at 13 spots around town through an augmented-reality app. Local businesses, from souvenir shops to a fishcake shop and a Korean barbecue restaurant are happy to cater to and profit from the devoted video game lovers, most of whom are men in their 20s and 30s.
