Abstract(in English) Tourists acquire information through several means such as guidebooks, the Internet, and social net-working services (SNSs) before sightseeing. Nevertheless, tourists, especially first-time visitors, prefer to go sightseeing along well-known routes. Locals, however, are familiar with some noteworthy locations and shops unknown to tourists. We want to make such local knowledge about interesting places easily available to tourists. This study proposes "SOSO (Street Ongaku and Spot Oshaberi)" that a location-based audio guide system. We made use of this system in Otaru, Hokkaido, to create services that users can use. This service is "Otaru Net radio" allow users to listen to Otaru's lovely places, brags and old stories in Otaru people's voice. In this paper, we describe the service concept, design and implementation of the system, and present the evaluation results of tourists and locals.
