Tokushima Ikeda Yamabiko Rogaining

About this event

"Tokushima Ikeda Yamabiko Rogaining" is a sports event where participants freely explore Ikeda Town adorned in autumn foliage with a map in hand, collecting points by navigating to checkpoints. Allowing you to experience the appeal of Ikeda firsthand, points are awarded when you take a photo at a checkpoint matching the sample image. The order of visits is entirely up to you; look at the map distributed on the day, devise a strategy, and compete for total points collected within the time limit. Not only physical stamina but also navigation strategy to interpret the map serves as the key to success. Three types of courses are prepared: the "Regular 5-Hour Course" visiting historical spots and autumn foliage highlights of Ikeda Town, the "Quick 3-Hour Course" to enjoy its charm in a short time, and the "Family Course" suitable for families. Participation is possible as a solo entrant (individual) or in teams of 2 to 5 people. You might even be lucky enough to meet the town-revitalization mascot character "Tsutahaan."
