## Expanding to 110 Stores across 4 Kansai Cities, 600 Participants, and 1,800 SNS Posts
The touring event 'Kansai Gin Rally,' which has been held across various locations in Kansai since February 15, 2026, will reach the final day of its main event on March 31.
This project was conducted as a touring event where participants enjoy craft gin while hopping between bars and restaurants across four cities in the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Wakayama), eventually expanding to include 110 participating stores and approximately 600 total participants.
Additionally, SNS posts during the event period reached a total of 1,800 (about 3.6 times the previous Osaka Gin Rally), and the total views on the official Instagram recorded about 1 million, showing expansion both online and offline.
Furthermore, the top 3 participating stores recorded a total of 450 SNS posts (an average of about 150 posts per store), generating highly active promotion on an individual store level as well.
These numbers indicate that it wasn't just simple event participation; a structure where both participants and stores actively engage and expand the event actually functioned.
## Extraordinary Touring Behavior Occurred: 4 People Visited Over 60 Stores
What is particularly noteworthy among this is the amount of touring by participants.
Four participants visited over 60 stores, and there were also confirmed participants who visited over 50 stores, resulting in a scale of touring rarely seen in regular food and beverage events.
Even among female participants, 4 people toured 20 or more stores (including one who reached the 40-store scale), giving rise to spontaneous touring behavior that goes beyond just visiting a store.
This shows that it wasn't mere store visit promotion, but that a touring behavior—where participants themselves choose the next store, travel, and accumulate experiences—was successfully established.
