  FUJITSU TEN SALES LIMITED (Head office: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Yoshihiko Ono), sales subsidiary of FUJITSU TEN LIMITED (Head office: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Akira Yamanaka) which develops the “ECLIPSE” car navigation brand, has produced the revised edition of “English ver./ Chinese ver./ Korean ver. of OKINAWA ROAD MAP for rental cars” in association with Okinawa Prefecture Rent-a-Car Association and Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau (Naha, Okinawa Prefecture) and it starts to be distributed for free(*1) at each car rental company in Okinawa Prefecture from today, April 27, 2015.

  Since this road map lists map codes(*2) for major sightseeing spots, destination setting is easily practiced by inputting this code into a car navigation system. It also provides information concerning specific road conditions in Okinawa like bus lane regulations and these would be helpful for your drive.
  In this revised edition, we created a page listing map codes for frequently used major sightseeing spots whose number is about twice as large as before and added explanation on how to use ECLIPSE brand’s car navigation system to improve the convenience. Besides, the content is enriched for foreign tourists who visit Okinawa for the first time to reach the destination safely and smoothly without losing their ways by adding explanations on accident-prone locations and major road signs, reviewing notation of the latest bus lane regulations or facility names, and etc. To correspond to the increasing number of foreign tourists, the circulation will be increased to 80,000(*1) (three language versions in total, 1.3 times of the last year’s publication).


Concepts

Currently, the government agencies and private sectors in Japan work together to proactively attract foreign tourists. The number of foreigners who visited Japan during the year of 2014 was the largest ever for the second consecutive year exceeding 13 million (increase of approximately 30% over the last year) and the number of foreign tourists who visited Okinawa was also the largest ever exceeding 890,000 (increase of approximately 60% over the last year).
As the modes of transportation for sightseeing in Okinawa, rental cars and buses are frequently used and it is necessary to localize car navigation systems and guide maps, etc. into foreign languages.
From these backgrounds, in autumn 2010, we released the car navigation system for rental cars and corporations which supports English intending to support the improvement of the convenience when foreign tourists use rental cars and published the English version of OKINAWA ROAD MAP in December 2010. Afterward, we additionally published the Chinese and Korean versions in April 2014 in order to correspond to the increase of various tourists and issued the revised edition this time as we gained a good reputation.

If ECLIPSE car navigation system which has already supported Chinese and Korean in addition to English is used together with the ROAD MAP produced this time, these would help many foreign tourists.
