Japan rolls out summer 2026 digital stamp rally events across multiple cities

From July 25, 2026, several Japanese regions began free digital stamp rally festivals aimed at families and tourists. In Hyōgo Prefecture, the "出張！ようかいむらがやってくるデジタルスタンプラリー" places QR‑code stamps at 102 locations from Nishinomiya to Awaji Island, with a follow‑up "ようかいむらのジゾウボン" scheduled for August 22.

Tokyo's Odaiba hosts the "ミニオンズ＆モンスターズ お台場大冒険スタンプラリー," running until August 23 across four Odaiba venues. Participants who collect two or more stamps receive a participation prize, and those who complete the entire set can enter a draw for film‑related merchandise.

JR East's "ふくしま浜通り常磐線エキタグラリー" spans the Hamadori area of the Joban Line from July 25 to September 27, covering 28 stations and a temporary digital stamp at the Espar Iwaki mall, with special exchangeable tags for successful collectors.

Yokohama's "夏のそうにゃんスタンプラリー2026" operates from July 18 to September 6 along the Sotetsu line, featuring nine stamp sites in stations and nearby commercial facilities. The first 8,000 participants who complete all stamps and spend ¥300 at designated stores receive a limited‑edition "そうにゃん" pouch.
