Exploring Tsumagashima Island
Located near Iki Island, Tsumagashima Island is accessible via a ferry from Hakata Port. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, the island features rugged cliffs and pristine beaches. Visitors can explore its rich natural beauty, including areas of untouched forests and wetlands. Tsumagashima also has remnants of human habitation, such as wells and building foundations from when people lived there until 2002. It's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered during your trip to Iki!
The Rules and Thrills of Hide and Seek
This exciting game accommodates 100 players: 10 seekers and 90 hiders. If a hider is found, they switch roles with the seeker. Prizes will be awarded not only to those who manage to stay hidden the longest but also to the seekers who successfully find the most players. Points will be awarded based on various criteria, making each player’s strategy vital! Whether you choose to blend in with the grass or bury yourself in the earth, the game promises an intense and exhilarating experience where even the slightest noise could reveal your hiding spot!
Enjoying the Uninhabited Island
After the game, both seekers and hiders will come together for a BBQ on the island, celebrating their achievements. Under the guidance of Job Live, participants will enjoy luxurious time spent camping on the uninhabited island, including an outdoor hot bath. Each morning, participants can gather materials to build rafts and partake in a thrilling escape from the island—truly an adventurous addition to this unique event!
Two-Night Stay Package and Pre-Events
Apart from the one-night stay, we offer a two-night course that allows participants to arrive a day early and explore Iki Island, complete with activities such as tent sauna experiences. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area before engaging in the hide and seek game.
