About Tsumagashima Island
Located close to Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Tsumagashima is an uninhabited island with breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters. The island boasts stunning cliffs, serene beaches, and rich flora with areas of primeval forest and wetlands. Until 2002, some residents lived on the island, leaving behind traces of history, such as old wells and building remnants. Visitors will discover the island’s unique charm, as it remains relatively untouched by tourism.
Rules and Tactics of the Game
This event is exclusively for adults (university students and older), featuring
10 seekers and
90 hiders. Those who are discovered by the seekers will then become seekers themselves. Participants will be rewarded points not only for stealth but also for capturing others, hidden time, and additional challenges. The rules are simple: camouflage yourself, blend into nature, and embrace the intense thrill of this ultimate hide-and-seek experience.
Enjoy the Island Life
After the game, everyone will gather for a barbeque on the beach and celebrate their achievements. The event will also include unique experiences like making rafts to escape the island, allowing participants to immerse themselves fully in nature's wonders.
Accommodation Options
For those wanting to enjoy more of Iki Island, the
2-night plan includes an overnight stay on the island before the main event. Participants can explore, enjoy tent saunas, and take in the landscapes.
