Popular tourist locations such as the historic town of Takayama, and the traditional village of Shirakawa-go will be represented in the new plaza along with the prefectures of Nagano, Gifu and Yamanashi. There will also be booths from ten municipalities with informational brochures, and displays of regional crafts and specialty products.

In addition it will be possible to book tickets for the Chuo Highway Bus, as well as tours, and hotels. Information on the Shinjuku area will also be available.

The new center is intended to benefit both domestic and overseas visitors, so staff will be fluent in Japanese, Chinese and English. Visitors will also be able to take advantage of free wi-fi at the plaza and charge their smartphones.
