[How to Enjoy YAMASTA]

◆ Participate in a Stamp Rally and Collect Stamps

Check in at stamp rally courses across Japan, or at check-in-enabled tourist attractions and mountains to receive a commemorative digital stamp. Collect stamps and create your own stamp book!

Stamp designs vary depending on your check-in location. You'll have to check in to find out what stamps you'll get.

◆ Map feature that lets you check your current location and check-in location

The newly added map feature allows you to check your current location and check-in location on Geospatial Information Authority of Japan maps or Google Maps. In addition, some stamp rally events have course maps available. By downloading the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan maps and course maps in advance, you can view them even in the mountains without cell phone reception. Please download them before you head out.

◆ Save money with Yamasta-exclusive coupons

Yamasta-exclusive digital coupons are available for use at restaurants and facilities around the course. Use them before, during, or after your hike to save money on your stamp rally.

◆ Collect stamps and receive original novelty items

At some stamp rally events, you can win original novelty items on a first-come, first-served basis or through a lottery. The conditions for earning novelty items vary depending on the stamp rally event, so please check the Yamasta website for details.

◆ Complete the stamp rally and get a trophy

Earn trophies based on your stamp rally completion status. In addition to the stamp rally completion trophy, there are also limited-time trophies and hidden trophies.
