One of the attractions is the RPG-like elements, such as being able to earn points by visiting factories scattered around Takaoka City, observing craftsmen’s guides and demonstrations, and interacting with craftsmen through quizzes related to factories. It has become. In addition, the main point of this Rogaining event is the original currency for this project called “Yacha” that you receive after touring the workshops and factories in each area, rather than taking photos, so we value the fun that even children will want to collect.

This is an event that can be enjoyed not only by those with experience in Rogaining, but also by beginners who want to have fun while touring the Takaoka factory. Please come experience Takaoka’s traditional industry with your family and friends.

Ever since I was a member of the Takaoka Traditional Industries Youth Association, which is made up of people under the age of 40 engaged in Takaoka’s traditional industries, I have been involved in open factory events in Takaoka, such as planning the “Takaoka Craft Tourismo,” which tours factories by bus. I’ve been involved. What I feel each time is that the participants seem to have the most fun when they are conversing with the craftsmen. By participating in the “Craftsman Tour Rogaining” that we have planned this time, you will be able to have conversations with artisans that you would not normally be able to talk to, deepen your understanding of their techniques and the products they produce, and at the same time learn about the charm of the artisans themselves as they face traditional industries. I would appreciate it if you could find it too.
* [About the market town (Ichiba-machi) held from 9/21 (Sat) to 9/23 (Mon/Holiday)] *
Takaoka City is the castle town of Takaoka Castle, built by Kaga feudal lord Toshinaga Maeda, and has inherited casting and lacquerware techniques for over 400 years. “Ichibamachi” is a comprehensive event related to crafts held in the center of Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. Last year, we received the Prime Minister’s Award at the “Furusato Event Award,” an award that recognizes events that energize local communities across the country and supports the further development of hometown events. Since 2012, as an
industry-academia-government collaboration project, we have continued to convey the charm of local industry, town culture, and people, and based on the recognition of the achievements of “Ichiba Town”, which has created a total of over 250,000 people, we will continue to promote the future. We aim to create an event where “Toyama’s crafts and art” become a more familiar presence in our daily lives.
