How it works
Step by step
Pick a place. Each page tells you what to expect in your language.
Book, or walk in where the place says no booking is needed.
Show the staff the Japanese card when you arrive.
When you pay, scan the place's HAKOBUNE QR code.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to scan the QR code — that's how your visit counts.
Same price, social good
The place pays HAKOBUNE a fee for your visit, and part of that fee goes to social causes. You pay nothing extra.
