Experience Wakayama Like Never Before

The Shibire Corporation, based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is excited to announce the inaugural "Wakayama Push Exchange Fair," scheduled for December 13, 2025, at the Tokyo Transport Center. This event aims to provide attendees from the metropolitan area with a unique opportunity to experience Wakayama through their senses.

One of the standout features of this fair is its focus on interactive, experiential connections that allow visitors to engage actively with the culture and offerings of Wakayama. Unlike typical municipal events, this fair will provide a diverse lineup of engaging programs tailored for participation, ensuring everyone can enjoy themselves.

Key Attractions of the Event

One of the highlights is the popular "Ikada River Rafting VR" experience, which drew massive crowds at the Kansai Expo. This immersive virtual reality adventure simulates the thrill and exhilaration of rafting down clear rivers, all while remaining in the metropolitan area.

In addition to that, attendees can explore the "Outreach! Citrus Food Festival," which offers a taste of Wakayama's renowned citrus fruits, soy sauce, and pickled plums, enabling visitors to discover their favorites through taste.

Other exciting activities include:

• - A workshop to enjoy the authentic scent of Japanese pepper.
• - An interactive corner featuring local "push townspeople" who actively contribute to the community.
• - A raffle with luxurious prizes for attendees of all ages to enjoy throughout the day.

Background and Mission
