Description of routes (road, landscape)
Walk along the fertile plains of Yatsushiro, where "rush grass" for Japanese mats are produced. This plain was created by the Kumagawa River to the south and the Hikawa River to the north (the Kumagawa River is one of the three fastest flowing rivers in Japan).
Take part in various walking courses during the three day event, and enjoy the beautiful natural sceneries such as the sea, the mountains, the rivers as well as the historical buildings, temples and shrines on the course.
Furthermore feel the warm hospitality of the local people as you walk along your course.

Souvenir-award
We will present the original kappa badges to the walkers who have completed their walking courses for three days. For the first time participants, the first badge will be presented to them. In the following year, if the participants continuously complete their walking courses for three days, the second badge will be presented to them. The number on the badge increases as the number of times the walker participates in the Walks.
Sanctioned by the IML and IVV.
The awards ceremony is held in the afternoon of the 3rd day at the start/finish area (the time is yet to be decided).
