Guida
"Nana Yume Adventure" is a real-life treasure hunt event set within the expansive "Sanyo Yume Korai" area of Yamaguchi Prefecture. This program goes beyond traditional sightseeing, allowing participants to experience the region's history, culture, nature, and cuisine through exploration. Discover the unique charms of cities and towns such as Yamaguchi, Ube, Hagi, Hofu, Mine, Sanoyooda, and Tsuwano through the excitement of a treasure hunt.
The event is built around six key categories: Food, Experience, History, Culture, Art, and Nature. For example, in Yamaguchi City, you can explore the National Treasure Rurikoji Temple and sites of Ouchi culture, while in Hagi, you can wander through the historic castle town of the Meiji Restoration. You can also engage in local traditions, such as making traditional crafts or tasting local delicacies. Players navigate designated areas to uncover the stories of the land, making the journey feel like a real-life adventure.
The event runs from July 17, 2026, to January 31, 2027. Themes and courses may vary by region during this period. Please check the official website in advance for specific dates and schedules for particular events.
The venue is not a single location but encompasses various tourist spots across the cities and towns within the Sanyo Yume Korai area (Yamaguchi, Ube, Hagi, Hofu, Mine, Sanoyooda, and Tsuwano). Since the areas are vast—including sites like Akiyoshido Cave in Mine or Koyama Park in Yamaguchi—it is essential to plan your route in advance using public transportation or a car.
To maximize your experience, decide whether you want to focus on history, nature, or hands-on experiences. Some courses can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day (up to 9 hours). Effective time management, including travel and rest breaks, is key to a smooth adventure.
Cash and credit cards are generally accepted for local experiences and dining. However, as some smaller local spots may only accept cash, it is recommended to carry some Japanese Yen.
While the event takes place in areas served by local interpreter guide centers, English support for specific event programs varies by facility. Please check with individual sites in advance.
Reservations may be required for certain hands-on experiences, such as traditional confectionery or glass-making workshops.
As this involves significant walking, please wear comfortable walking shoes and practical clothing. Since the event runs from summer to winter, bring clothing suitable for temperature changes, rain gear, and plenty of water.
