Hiroshima City is delighted to announce the upcoming “Saigoku Kaido Know-It-All Stamp Rally,” scheduled to be held throughout the Hiroshima Metropolitan Area in the fiscal year 2025. This exciting event, published on September 1, 2025, at 02:00, invites residents and visitors alike to embark on a journey of discovery along the historic Saigoku Kaido (Western Country Road), a vital artery of Japan’s past.
The Saigoku Kaido, also known as the San’yo Do, was one of the five major roads of Japan during the Nara and Heian periods. It connected Kyoto, the ancient capital, with the western provinces, playing a crucial role in communication, trade, and military movements for centuries. Tracing its path offers a unique opportunity to connect with Japan’s rich history and experience the cultural heritage that has shaped the region.
The “Know-It-All Stamp Rally” is designed to be an engaging and educational experience, encouraging participants to visit various significant historical sites and points of interest located along the Saigoku Kaido within the Hiroshima Metropolitan Area. By collecting stamps at these designated locations, participants will not only deepen their understanding of the road’s historical importance but also have the chance to win attractive prizes.
While specific details regarding the exact start and end dates of the rally, the participating locations, and the prize offerings will be announced closer to the event, the initiative underscores Hiroshima City’s commitment to promoting its historical assets and fostering regional tourism. This endeavor aims to highlight the enduring legacy of the Saigoku Kaido and its contribution to the cultural landscape of the Hiroshima Metropolitan Area.
This stamp rally is an excellent opportunity for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the cultural tapestry of western Japan. We encourage everyone to stay tuned for further announcements and to prepare for an enriching and enjoyable experience as they traverse the historic Saigoku Kaido in 2025.
