Yokohama Marine Tower, operated by a joint venture led by List Properties Co., Ltd. (part of the List Group), is marking its 65th anniversary with the official launch of 'Yokohama 360.' This service utilizes 'WOUDIO,' a tourism DX platform developed by the design firm NOSIGNER, and will start on June 2, 2026, coinciding with the Yokohama Port Opening Anniversary.

### Features of WOUDIO Developed by NOSIGNER, WOUDIO allows visitors to access audio guides in up to 18 languages simply by scanning a QR code, without downloading an app. The name is a portmanteau of 'World' and 'Audio,' reflecting its mission to deliver voices to the world.

### The 'Yokohama 360' Experience The guide offers a deep dive into the history and details visible from the observation deck through 20 specific 'questions.' Examples include inquiries about ships that couldn't pass under the Bay Bridge or hidden secrets beneath Yamashita Park. The AI-driven guide supports 8 languages and aims to encourage visitors to explore nearby areas like Chinatown and Motomachi.

### Disaster Prevention Navigation Beyond tourism, the platform integrates a disaster response feature. In emergencies, it provides multilingual navigation to the nearest evacuation shelter based on the user's current location, ensuring a safe experience for both domestic and international tourists.
