The Kobe Shimbun newspaper company, together with automotive electronics maker DENSO TEN, is launching the "See It, Stop By, Explore" Tajima Touring Digital Stamp Rally to coincide with the Toyooka Theater Festival 2026, a roving theater festival held across the Tajima region in connection with tourism and community development. The stamp rally is part of the "Yorinsee Program," a participatory initiative that lets theatergoers enjoy the region's food, culture, and other attractions along the way.
Participants can visit theater venues — including the Professional College of Arts and Tourism, Kinosaki International Arts Center, Ebara Riverside Theatre, and Yabu Shimin Koryu Hiroba — as well as local cafes, onsen facilities, roadside stations, and other attractions across Tajima. Collect five stamps and enter for a chance to win one of several prizes, with 100 winners in total.
Period: Tuesday, September 1 to Sunday, September 27, 2026
