Tomioka City Tourism Association|Treasure hunt game around the World Heritage Tomioka Silk Mill|Until next March

There are two courses for the event: "Around the Tomioka Silk Mill" and "Car Tour" in a wide area of the city. The story begins when a code is found that indicates the whereabouts of the treasure left by a person who played an important role in the construction of the Tomioka Silk Mill. First, get a "treasure map" at a product hall or tourist facility. Go around the designated places on each course and collect hints to solve the riddle. The total time required for both courses is about 3 hours. If you clear it, you will receive an original prize on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, if you answer the questionnaire, you will be selected by lottery to win luxurious prizes provided by 16 sponsoring companies, such as Tomioka Silk Mill admission tickets, safari park admission tickets, hotel accommodation vouchers, and special products.

Reception hours are 9 a.m. ~ 5 p.m. for the course around the Tomioka Silk Mill. The car tour course is 10 a.m. ~ 4 p.m. The course around the Tomioka Silk Mill is closed from December 29 (Thursday) ~ December 31 (Saturday). The car tour course is from December 26 (Monday) ~ January 4 (Wednesday).

The tourism association said, "The number of fashionable restaurants and general stores around the silk mill is increasing, and we want you to participate in the event while renting a kimono in the style of a worker, enjoying the popular Japanese sweets "kuwafle" and "warabi mochi drink", and enjoying a walk. Take into account the time for detours." I say.
