Visiting the multiple check-in locations set up as a stamp rally event is an opportunity to go out, and collecting all the stamps gives you a sense of accomplishment. Currently, 71 stamp rally events are being held across the country, with a cumulative total of over 850,000 visitors. The check-in function to earn Yamasta stamps uses the smartphone’s location information system (GPS), so it can be used even when mobile radio waves (calls) are offline. Also, since the stamp rally event is managed by the app and server, you can freely set the period of the event. You can participate in the event at any time during the event period at your own convenience, and there is no need to line up at the counter to get stamps, so anyone can easily collect stamps.
