Jozankei Onsen PR Team Leader Kappon and EV Classic

■ Demonstration project aimed at improving the walkability of the Jozankei hot spring resort area

Jozankei Onsen, one of Hokkaido's leading hot spring resorts, is a popular tourist area where visitors can enjoy abundant nature and hot spring culture. However, getting around to the various tourist spots scattered throughout the hot spring town is often done on foot, and improving the ease with which tourists can move around has been one of the challenges.

This demonstration project will utilize the "EV Classic" to provide a new mobility experience while being environmentally conscious. By creating an environment where tourists can comfortably travel around, it is expected to have a positive effect on regional revitalization, such as expanding local consumption and increasing the length of stay.

Post on social media and receive a free hot spring steamed bun!

Currently, as part of our "SNS Posting Campaign," until September 14th, 2026 (Monday), we are offering a gift of Jozankei's famous hot spring steamed buns (6 pieces) to users who use the "EV Classic" and post a photo of the vehicle on social media with the hashtag "#JozankeiEV".
