Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, has a beautiful natural environment, long history and traditions, and abundant tourist resources. However, like all other castle towns, the roads are winding and narrow, and are always congested especially in the downtown area. The road administrator, tourist administrators and bus service companies cooperate and started the "Tabi Net Matsue (tourist and traffic information)" and "Gurutto Bus Navigation (Matsue City bus location system)" services, which provide information about public transport and tourist information, to support the movement of visitors from all over the world.
Tabi Net Matsue provides tourist and traffic information of companies in Matsue City through terminals installed at international tourist information offices and the Internet and encourages tourism. Tourists can easily obtain information, such as timetables and places for changing buses, etc., just by selecting a sightseeing route.
The "Gurutto Bus Navigation" utilizes GPS (Global Positioning System) to communicate the operation states of route buses in Matsue City to improve the convenience and promote the use of buses.
