Abstract

Driving around a countryside destination and finding the scenic beauty is an intriguing exposure for metropolitans. Our route planner Country Road Finder proposes a lodge, a farm, and the connecting route, for farm-staying to show initiation of the area's local culture and practice. Our algorithm calculates country-road scores for a pleasant driving around experience, combining destination recommendation system and route navigation system. This research shows the routes in 3 peripheral areas near Tokyo, and discusses findings from initial user studies with metropolitan visitors about the drivers' view and experience.
