Various regional tourism stamp rallies are scheduled to take place across Japan between late 2026 and early 2027.

In the Tokyo Tama region, Yamakei-sha and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will launch the ‘Tokyo Tama Hike Stamp Rally’ on October 1, 2026. Utilizing the ‘YAMASTA’ app, the event offers routes such as the ‘Tama 10 Peaks Panorama Course’ and the ‘Okutama 3 Trail Course’ to encourage hiking. Participants can earn rewards including commemorative badges and lottery entries.

Other regional initiatives include a rally in the Higashimatsuyama and Hiki regions running through February 2027, a digital rally in Kobe’s Suma Ward from October to December 2026, and a retro-themed collaborative event involving Chichibu, Kawagoe, and Saitama City.
