Venue & access: Various participating spots across Osaka and Kobe This is a drive-around event, and the Hanshin Expressway is the easiest way between spots; on weekends and holidays the Odekake Pass (Osaka loop or Kobe loop) applies. The Odekake Spot course also works by public transport — Expo '70 Commemorative Park is right by Bampaku-kinen-koen Station on the Osaka Monorail.

Why You Should Visit

A real-life puzzle game run by Hanshin Expressway that takes you around Osaka and Kobe by car. Taking part is free: pick up a puzzle kit, add the game's LINE account, and submit answers as you visit each spot. There are three courses — a roughly 50-minute "Odekake Spot" version that stays inside Expo '70 Commemorative Park or Michi-no-Eki Kobe Fruit Flower Park Osawa, plus Osaka and Kobe driving courses of about 200 minutes that link four locations each. There is no time limit and you can spread it over several days during the run, so it fits neatly into a weekend drive or a shopping trip.

NOTE

Courses

Odekake Spot version (about 50 min) — completed inside Expo '70 Commemorative Park (Suita) or Michi-no-Eki Kobe Fruit Flower Park Osawa (Kita-ku, Kobe). Both venues use the same puzzles, so either one works
Osaka Driving Course (about 200 min) — "a cross-Osaka drive linking sky, greenery and city history", visiting four spots by car
Kobe Driving Course (about 200 min) — "a bayside drive with sea breeze and harbour views", visiting four spots by car

※The four spots differ between the Osaka and Kobe courses. Times vary with traffic and breaks

FAQ

Do I need a smartphone?

Yes. You need a smartphone that can scan QR codes and connect to the web, since answers are submitted through the game's dedicated LINE account. Data charges are your own.
