Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Akita Prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture, and NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Miyagino Ward, Sendai City) held the "Let's Travel! Tohoku 6 Prefectures Smartphone Stamp Rally" until last year with the aim of making travel in the Tohoku region more enjoyable. This year, marking the 10th anniversary of the event, they will be holding a new Tohoku tourism support project, "TOHOKU QUEST."

This project is a puzzle-solving game in which participants search for keywords in quests (question sentences) related to tourist spots in Tohoku and find the spot (tourist spot, etc.). Once they find it, they head to the spot and check in using the GPS function on their smartphone. In addition, if they meet the specified achievement conditions, they can win wonderful prizes such as accommodation vouchers for hotels and hot spring inns in Tohoku and local specialties in the limited-time "Let's Drive More! Tohoku 6 Prefectures Check-in Trip 2025 Gift Campaign".
A total of 60 attractive tourist destinations, themed around food, culture, history and other areas, have been prepared as quest spots for new encounters across Tohoku.
Please join "TOHOKU QUEST" and create memorable road trip experiences with your family and friends.
