Starting April 17, 2026, Chubu Centrair International Airport is hosting the 5th edition of its Nazotoki Stamp Rally, themed "The Legendary Airplane Sleeping in the Airport". The rally has participants explore the terminal, collect six airplane-part stamps hidden in various locations around the airport, and solve puzzles to revive a legendary aircraft said to be dormant somewhere in the building.
The Centrair Nazotoki Stamp Rally series has been running since 2022, and this latest installment builds on a story: a legendary airplane that no one has ever seen lies hidden in the airport, and it is up to participants to find its scattered parts and bring it back to life.
The event is primarily aimed at children up to elementary school age, though adults can join in too. The puzzle-solving portion features a final challenge divided into two difficulty levels — "Beginner" and "Advanced" — so the whole family can enjoy it together.
Event Details
- Event period: April 17, 2026 (Friday) onwards — ends when the planned number of kits runs out

Participants who complete all six stamp spots receive an original sticker as the stamp rally achievement prize. Those who also solve the puzzles receive both the sticker and a special clear card (puzzle completion certificate). Note: participants who only join the stamp rally (without the puzzle-solving portion) receive the sticker only.
How to Participate
Step 1: Purchase a Rally Kit at a Registration Desk
Rally kits are available at SORA MONO (Centrair Official Shop) or LUXURY FLIGHT. One kit option includes the "Legendary Rally Bag" — a shoulder bag that holds the rally book and pencil — allowing participants to keep their hands free while exploring the airport. After the rally, the bag separates and can be used as a clear file folder.
Step 2: Start the Rally!
Find the six rally spots scattered throughout the airport.
Stamp Rally: Collect airplane-part stamps at each rally spot.
Mystery Rally: Tackle a puzzle at each rally spot. The final puzzle comes in "Beginner" and "Advanced" difficulty levels — completing either one counts as a clear.
Step 3: Report Completion at a Registration Desk
Once all rally spots are finished, return to SORA MONO or LUXURY FLIGHT to report completion. Stamp rally achievers receive an original sticker, and those who also complete the mystery portion additionally receive a special clear card (puzzle completion certificate).
