Unveiling the Enhanced 'Tide Pool Catcher 2025' Experience
Toyo Corporation, known for its commitment to creating smiles, is set to launch a revamped version of the highly successful "Tide Pool Catcher" event at its crane game stores, Everyday, in Saitama. Running from June 16 to July 31, this event will take place at two locations: Gyoza and Okegawa stores, allowing participants to enjoy a delightful clam-digging experience even in a landlocked prefecture.
Last Year's Overwhelming Success
Last year's event generated a stunning response, exceeding expectations by more than threefold in sales. The innovative concept of enjoying clam digging in Saitama—a region famously without a sea—captured the interest of many. Participants used a claw machine to dig up shells, effectively combining the enjoyment of carnival games with the unique experience of clam gathering.
What Made It Special
The event's allure lay in the engaging method of digging for shells, reminiscent of traditional clam digging. This participatory activity allowed attendees to feel the excitement of beachcombing without leaving the confines of Saitama.
This Year's Enhancements
Discover Unique Local Shells
For the 2025 version, the event boasts an even more immersive experience. Participants will have the opportunity to collect not only replica shells but also rare local shells only found in tide pools in prefectures such as Hyogo and Aichi. Some varieties may only include one or two shells, taking rarity to the next level.
Key Upgrades for 2025
- - Event Concept: Transition from simple replicas to genuine local shells that you can dig up.
- - Shell Types: Introduces real shells harvested from coastal areas, enhancing the authentic digging experience.
