In order to inherit this culture digitally, “YAMAP” started digital badges in April 2019. With the addition of the “100 Famous Local Mountains Digital Badges”, the total number of badges is now 296 (as of September 27, 2024), and many YAMAP users have been participating in the digital badge collection.
