Event Highlights

Parents Use Smartphones, Children Use Paper! An RPG Experience to Foster Children's Initiative with the "Adventure Book"

This is not just a simple smartphone app stamp rally. An experiential item, the "Adventure Book (paper)," will be distributed to children via the official city website and at some of the participating locations. By dividing roles where parents operate the smartphone and children tackle the quests in the "Adventure Book" themselves, we offer an immersive experience that "doesn't monopolize the parent's smartphone" and allows "children to think and act proactively."

*Even if you do not have an "Adventure Book," you can still participate in this event using only the smartphone app.

Attractive Benefits and Prizes

All spots have parking available, making travel by private car easy. Additionally, those who use the Sodegaura City Tourism Association's "rental bicycles" will receive a "Gaura Mechanical Pencil" (limited quantity) as a gift. Depending on your stamp collection progress, you can enter a lottery to win fresh rice from Sodegaura or local specialty products.

Event Design Incorporates "Cooling Shelters" to Mitigate Heatstroke

Designated heat-avoidance facilities (cooling shelters) such as the Hiraoka Community Center are included as participating spots. By combining outdoor and indoor locations, participants can tour safely while staying cool.
