Video Game x Hot Spring (2019)
♨️ CARAVAN STORIES (Fantasy RPG) x Hot Springs in Japan 🕹
CARAVAN STORIES is a multi-platform Game-as-a-Service RPG by Aiming, Inc., a planner, producer, developer, and operator of online games based in Japan.
In Japan, onsen (温泉) are the country’s hot springs and the bathing facilities and traditional inns around them. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsens scattered throughout all of its major islands.
Onsens come in many types and shapes, including outdoor (露天風呂 or 野天風呂, roten-buro or noten-buro) and indoor baths (内湯, uchiyu). Baths may be either publicly run by a municipality or privately, often as part of a hotel, ryokan, or bed and breakfast (民宿, minshuku).
The presence of an onsen is often indicated on signs and maps by the symbol ♨ or the kanji 湯 (yu, meaning “hot water”). Sometimes the simpler hiragana character ゆ (yu), understandable to younger children, is used.
👉️ The Punchline: Five real-world hot spring spots in Japan will appear in Caravan Stories as a part of a long-term collaboration event in 2019. The hot spring spots will be integrated as a part of the in-game story that the game users can learn about each spot’s history, legends, and local attractions.
