TOKYO, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hokuriku region is located on the northwestern part of Japan's main island of Honshu and is known for its all-seasons appeal - spectacular cherry blossoms destinations, pleasant summers, vibrant autumn colors and snowy winters. The Hokuriku Shinkansen's current terminus is historical Kanazawa City, known for its well-preserved Edo-era districts, traditional tea houses, and beautifully landscaped gardens like Kenrokuen but this new extension will offer improved access to Fukui Prefecture starting March 16th this year, saving time and creating new opportunities to easily visit charming places like Fukui City, which is only 2 hours and 51 minutes from Tokyo by the fastest possible time. Fukui Prefecture, where Tsuruga and Fukui City are located, is getting ready to welcome more visitors once the Hokuriku Shinkansen commences operation of 14 round trips from Tokyo per day. The capital of Fukui Prefecture is Fukui City, a small castle town most known for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum which is recognized as one of the greatest dinosaur museums in the world, with more than 900,000 visitors yearly. Travelers also love visiting the city during cherry blossom season as the Asuwa River and the Weeping Cherry Tree at the Asuwa Shrine transform into a pink paradise each spring. Not far from Fukui City is Maruoka Castle, one of twelve castles in Japan with a surviving historical keep from the feudal era that also hosts an annual cherry blossom festival. Aside from its historical riches, Fukui is home to the Tojinbo Cliffs, a Natural Monument and Place of Scenic Beauty. Further, deep in the Fukui mountains lies a temple founded by Zen Master Dogen in 1244, Eiheiji Temple, where about a hundred monks practice devotion daily. Other stops on the Hokuriku Shinkansen line include Awara Onsen, an ideal day trip destination for hot spring fans looking to bathe in central Japan's geothermal waters. Meanwhile in Tsuruga, travelers will get to enjoy fresh seafood, owing to the city's location by the sea. Kehi Shrine is the main shrine of the region, originally built in the year 702 and has one of the three great wooden torii gates in Japan. From Tokyo, major stops along the line in the Hokuriku Shinetsu area include destinations within the mountainous Nagano Prefecture, known for its rich history, natural beauty, and outdoor adventures. Meanwhile Toyama Prefecture is a jumping-off point for visiting World Heritage Gokayama villages and the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. The expansion of this shinkansen line is another step to increasing connectivity to the outskirts, which creates a wonderful opportunity for travelers to discover the towns of the Hokuriku area rather than large metropolitan areas. Connecting your Hokuriku Shinkansen journey to other areas via special rail passes Visitors to the Hokuriku area will certainly benefit from using special JR rail passes to explore a variety of areas along the new shinkansen route. Those wanting to expand their itinerary to include destinations within the Kansai region may be interested in the Hokuriku Arch Pass, which is valid for seven days and offers unlimited rides from both Tokyo and Osaka to the Hokuriku region. Alternatively, the Kansai-Hokuriku Area Pass allows for seven days of unlimited rides from Kansai to Toyama, Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures.

1st Phygital Tournament Games of the Future Hold in Kazan Kazan, Russia - 12/03/2024 - (SeaPRwire) - The first phygital tournament Games of the Future has taken place in Kazan, Russia, marking a new trend in athletics and esports. This major event gathered over 2,000 players from 116 countries, who showed mastery in 21 hybrid disciplines. Phygital Competitions: A New Age of Sport? 'Sports' and 'eSports' sound almost the same. Both are spectacular, invoke the competitive spirit, and need stamina and focus. A Dota match can be as engaging as a baseball game. Merging them was just a matter of time and effort, and Games of the Future held in Kazan, Russia is the first large-scale attempt to do so. The idea behind Games of the Future and phygital sports per se is to test competitors' digital and physical fitness. Therefore, the Games include five dual-modality categories: sports, tactics, strategy, technology, speed, and 21 disciplines. In phygital hockey, for example, players first compete in a digital simulator and go on to confront each other on the ice. The winner is determined by the total number of goals scored during the two stages of the phygital match. Blending of physical and digital competitions (the term 'phygital' is a combination of 'physical' and 'digital') is an internationally implemented project. The competition was a success on all counts, including audience engagement. There were over 3 million website users' views of the competitions, which is testimony to the growing scale and popularity of phygital platforms. "The Games of the Future tournament has become a globally recognized brand, which is an enormous accomplishment," said Dmitry Chernyshenko, Vice Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and head of the organizing committee of Games of the Future. Phygital sport grows in scope and popularity catering for people's love of innovations and the need to thrive in new hybrid activities. Besides, phygital sport promotes equity by presenting unique opportunities for those who have no access to training facilities or have no opportunity to train every day. However, phygital sport confronts new challenges. Ethical play in phygital sports will have to be ensured by putting in place safeguards against manipulation, and the implementation of new procedures for fair play, both physical and virtual. Phygital sport is now making a fresh start. The organizers of Games of the Future believe that there will be a time when sport will transcend traditional boundaries. The challenge for trainers, professionals, organizers, and participants is to ensure the integrity, equity, and ethics of phygital sport so that its potential can be fully realized to the benefit of all.

The partnership brings together traditional Chinese culture and Italian style in a limited-edition work of art SHANGHAI, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This Chinese New Year, Florentia Village collaborated with Chinese paper-cutting artist Qiu Jia to create an exclusive art piece inspired by the Year of the Dragon. The artwork marked the launch of "A 'Meaningful' New Year" themed campaign, Florentia Village's Lunar New Year celebration at its six locations across Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu and Chongqing. Exquisite paper-cut-themed installations and festive decorations blended timeless Chinese artistic tradition with classic Italian style for a very special Chinese New Year atmosphere that attracted enthusiastic visitors to come and experience it. During this period, Florentia Village demonstrated outstanding overall performance, with significant increases in both sales and footfall, achieving double-digit year-on-year growth and showcasing strong momentum. As a prize of traditional Chinese culture, paper-cutting holds immense historical and cultural value. It symbolizes people's collective aspirations for an auspicious and prosperous life. Inspired by the Chinese zodiac dragon (or "Loong"), Qiu Jia used classical Italian architecture as the piece's foundation and wove together a rich tapestry of Chinese traditions – including the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Five Elements, and Feng Shui – alongside evocative forest imagery. The intricate design interlaces elements representative of the four seasons: nesting birds in the spring, gentle waves of summer nights, the full moon of autumn, and dazzling fireworks in winter. The whole dreamy scene is depicted amidst floating clouds. The artwork features the "iris dragon," a unique interpretation of Florentia Village's diverse offerings. Distinct from its traditionally scaled counterpart, the iris dragon is adorned with an array of fashionable prints such as checks, polka dots, stars, and ocean waves. Its head is crowned with Florentia Village's golden iris flower logo. The piece eloquently embodies the theme "A 'Meaningful' New Year", bringing together cultural heritage with modern aesthetics. Qiu Jia is a master in crafting ethereal and whimsical paper-cut art. Her distinguished career over the past decade includes collaborations with internationally acclaimed brands including TASAKI, Sephora, and Luxottica. Paper-cut art installations inspired by Qiu Jia's exclusive Year of the Dragon masterpiece also debuted across Florentia Villages in Beijing-Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou-Foshan, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Chongqing, offering a romantic, three-dimensional portrayal of the Village. In each installation, the four seasons have been artistically layered, enhancing the depth, and dynamically capturing the majestic figure of the dragon. The intricate interplay of dots, lines, and planes form a gorgeous paper-cut piece that brings to life the wood dragon as it soars towards the sky from the verdant forest that sprouts from the Italian architecture below in a symbol of renewal and growth. Complementing these installations, the shop windows throughout each Florentia Village were decorated with papercuts inspired by Qiu Jia's Year of the Dragon artwork, injecting a touch of vibrant color to the villages, and elevating the festive ambiance. During Chinese New Year, Florentia Village's locations in Shanghai and Chongqing marked their anniversaries with celebrations that infused the festivities with both playfulness and excitement. In Shanghai, the Village invited the Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Orchestra and staged a stirring performance of the "Scent of a Woman" complete with a flash mob. Meanwhile, Florentia Village Chongqing collaborated with the emerging artist Ji Haotian to launch a special exhibition "Embrace Love with NI", spreading love and healing energy to guests. In addition to these exciting celebrations, Florentia Village Beijing-Tianjin and Florentia Village Guangzhou-Foshan presented dazzling dragon installations that caught both the eye and the imagination. Florentia Village Wuhan launched a spring market that offered an array of colorful activities. Visitors enjoyed sugar painting, clay sculptures, calligraphy, and more, enriching the Chinese New Year celebrations with added cultural depth.
