The Inaugural Saitama City Everyone's App World

Saitama City is set to welcome a thrilling new experience on January 10, 2026, with the launch of its first major event, 'Saitama City Everyone's App World'. Organized by Tsunagu Co., this event promises a vibrant exploration of the city's digital currency and citizen app functionalities, aimed at fostering community spirit among residents.

Located at the iconic Saitama Stadium 2002, the event will run from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Entry is free, allowing families and individuals from various generations to participate without the burden of any cost. The stadium, located approximately 15 minutes on foot from Urawa Misono Station, offers a spacious venue for attendees. Additional transportation options include special shuttle buses that will be operating on the event day.

Event Highlights

At the heart of this interactive event lies 'TamaPon', the city's digital community currency. Visitors will have a chance to engage in numerous activities and attractions designed around this digital currency, deepening their understanding of the app's features and services while having fun.

Some of the main attractions include:

• - TamaPon Attractions: Six unique experiences for guests to enjoy, including a giant trampoline, mini shinkansen, and various game booths equipped with large claw machines and gacha.
• - Participatory Activities: Attendees can take part in the New Year red envelope campaign featuring a chance to win prizes valued at up to 5,000 yen.
• - Opening Performance: A dance showcase by the Urawa Gakuin High School Dance Club.
• - Visitor Incentives: The first 5,000 visitors who arrive using the app will be invited to grab snacks, including the popular 'Koala's March' treats, enhancing the festive atmosphere.
• - Gourmet Zone: A collection of 33 food trucks, with the first 1,000 guests receiving complimentary bowls of tonjiru (pork miso soup).
• - Saitama Zone: Local vendors will host stalls where visitors can enjoy 'vegetable packing' and 'rice scooping' experiences for a small fee.

Facilitating Citizen Engagement

The Saitama City Everyone's App is more than just an entertainment platform; it is designed with the aim of community engagement and better service delivery. As part of the app's ongoing development, Tsunagu Co. is launching an online platform, Saitama Link, where citizens can voice their opinions and suggestions. This initiative, alongside the newly added capability for bill payments—including water and sewage fees—through the app, shows a clear commitment to improving citizens' daily lives.

As digital transactions become a norm, the introduction of the billing payment feature will allow residents to pay their municipal taxes directly through the app. This feature will include the ability to scan barcodes on payment slips, bringing convenience to their fingertips.

Conclusion

This exciting event not only aims to showcase the capabilities of the Saitama City Everyone's App but also seeks to solidify community bonds within Saitama City. As the city embraces digital currency through engaging experiences, it opens up opportunities for better local economic activity and stronger ties throughout the community. Through innovative platforms and functions, FeliCa Pocket Marketing continues to work towards enriching the lives of residents by fostering a sense of belonging and commitment to the community.
