Ichiba-machi Concierges
Students from the Faculty of Art and Design at Toyama University will become ‘Ichiba-machi concierges’ to provide visitors with information on Ichiba-machi events and Takaoka City.
Booths will be set up at four locations – Takaoka Station, Daiwa Takaoka Store, Yamachosuji and Kanayamachi. The booths offer information on events and places to see, as well as free pamphlets and Ichiba-machi passport sales. Concierges will also be riding the loop buses and will be available to answer any questions.
Sales of the Ichiba-machi Passports are also available at Concierge Booths.
The passport contains a timetable for the loop bus (the event’s main transport option) and can also be used to collect stamps in the Craft Ichiba-machi stamp rally. Collect ten stamps or more to win craft prizes!
