Participation Requirements and Applicant Gifts
Anyone who is 18 or older and lives in Nishinomiya, or studies or works in the city, can participate! *Applications are limited to once per person
Regardless of distance or number of days, you can walk whenever you like, as much as you like, record your steps with a pedometer or step-counting app, and apply through the dedicated website. Then, all applicants will receive a “Digital Completion Certificate”〜!
Also, it seems that 100 applicants will be chosen by lottery to win a QUO Card worth 500 yen! Getting a QUO Card just for walking as many steps as you like? That’s definitely worth checking out!
Boost Your Chances with a “Plus Health Declaration”!
On top of that, when applying, if you declare “something you want to challenge yourself to do for your health going forward” (a Plus Health Declaration), your chances of winning a QUO Card apparently go up!
You could declare all kinds of things, like “I’ll walk more!” or “I’ll get a complete medical checkup!” or “I’ll switch to a vegetable-focused diet!” Since this is a good opportunity, it might be worth thinking about a health challenge for yourself!
