About this event
Why not let your precious stuffed animal stay overnight at the Former Date District Office, a designated National Important Cultural Property and iconic building in Koori Town? The stuffed animals will have a wonderful time at the district office, touring inside the castle-like building, helping out with work, and enjoying a Christmas party. Updates on how the stuffed animals are enjoying their stay at the district office will be posted regularly on the town's official website. While being separated until pickup day might feel a bit lonely, we will be waiting with your stuffed animals along with a special gift. Please feel free to apply. Drop-off dates are Tuesday, December 8 and Sunday, December 13, and pickup dates are from Tuesday, December 22 to Friday, December 25. Eligible participants are children aged 0 through 6th grade of elementary school, with a capacity of 15 groups. Participants must agree to leave their stuffed animal for up to about 3 weeks. Eligible stuffed animals must be able to stay overnight on their own (up to 1 item per applicant) and stand around 50 cm or less in height. The application acceptance period runs from Tuesday, November 10 to Wednesday, November 18 via the 2D barcode shown on the right (lottery system). Winning applicants will be notified by phone or email only on Friday, November 20. Inquiries should be directed to the Former Date District Office (tel: 024-582-5507).
