Map and Survey Festival
Map and Survey Festival (測量と地図のフェスティバル/Sokuryo to Chizu no Festival) will be held this Sunday, June 3, which is the 測量の日(sokuryo-no hi/Day of Survey).
There will be events and activities like a marching band performance, kid’s geography quiz competition, treasure hunt games, and “measuring in paces.” My son and I went to this festival last year, and we both had a lot of fun. All the events are free and there will be FREE buses leaving from the loadins zone #6 at the Tsukuba Center Bus Terminal on that day. All the visitors will receive a free “map of Japan puzzle.”

Wow, thanks for the information!
I saw the “orienteering” on their flyer, but didn’t know what it was(obviously, I didn’t participate in this one last year). It sounds very interesting, so I’ll may try it this year…, if my son’s up for it!
