[Held in Ikebukuro on 5/5.6] The fun that overturns the idea that “manner awareness is boring”! ! As a measure against overtourism, a quiz event is held for tourists. The total number of participants exceeded 10,000.
*The etiquette enlightenment event “Travel Quiz (R)” that started at major tourist spots in Kyoto has spread to tourist spots across the country, including Hokkaido, Okinawa, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nara, and Shiga, and will be held on May 5th and 6th. It will be held next to Animate in Ikebukuro. *
Tourist Ship, a general incorporated association (Headquarters: Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, Representative: Chieko Tanaka), will be holding an etiquette awareness event called Travel Quiz (R) starting in 2023 so that both local residents and travelers can have a comfortable time. It has started.
A travel quiz event is a fun event in which a temporary booth is set up at a tourist spot, and through quizzes, travelers passing by can learn about the history, etiquette, and touristship of each region. *Touristship is the tourism version of sportsmanship, and is the attitude and behavior of being considerate of the destination, contributing to it, and enjoying interaction.
A difficult start
At first, even though we were setting up at a major tourist spot in Kyoto, the content was to educate people about manners, so we only had about 20 participants per day. However, by focusing on how to convey information in a fun way that would resonate with people, and through repeated improvements, we succeeded in creating an event that attracted people. Now, we have received requests from various local governments across the country to hold the event.*
It has been held in 14 areas* from Hokkaido to Okinawa*, with up to 350 participants* per day. And by the end of April 2024* the number of participants will exceed 10,000*
I did. This year, we are working hard to reach 30,000 participants. actual footage

Did you see that they look like they are having a lot of fun? The content of the quizzes is quite serious, such as the suitcase problem in Sumida Ward and the eating problem in Nishiki Market, but it was also very fun, and at the end, the questions were filled with words of support for the activity and , we often receive declarations of behavior change.
We would like you to come and experience what is happening.
Satisfaction rate is an amazing 99%!
99% of the people answered that they were very satisfied.
I don’t think it’s easy to achieve this level of satisfaction in an event where a wide variety of people participate.
