Pilgrimage to the sacred place at the stamp rally. 28 places, including Hottarakashi Onsen
The entire line was opened on August 29, 2021, and the Chubu Odan Expressway became a hot topic as the travel time from Yamanashi prefecture to Shizuoka prefecture was significantly shortened. Many “sacred places” appear in the popular anime “Yuru Camp” in the area along the road. “Yuru Camp” is a work in which high school girls who belong to the outdoor activity circle (in the future referred to as “Nokuru”) enjoy the laid-back daily life of camping and the outdoors. The detailed outdoor depictions are gaining popularity. This time, NEXCO Central Japan announced that it will hold a stamp rally from November 26 (Friday) to February 27 (Sunday) 2022 as a collaboration of the same work.
The checkpoints for the stamp rally are the following 28 locations, including the model sites and tourist attractions that set the stage for “Yuru Camp” in Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures.
