What is the Ensemble Tour – Let’s expand together♪ Goyuri SDGs

In this tour, we will sell original products of environmentally friendly materials and local design products in various places with Rilakkuma as an icon. In addition, in the attached space, we will develop SDGs appeal activities through Rilakkuma, and we will travel all over the country from Hokkaido to Okinawa over about a year and a half, while carrying out various SDGs actions such as garbage picking events linked to the tour and supporting children’s cafeteria.

Rilakkuma is one of the national characters supported by a wide range of people with the character of “Receiving and affirming any personality, being with you, and not changing attitude.” In addition, “Creating a world where everyone can live with peace of mind” is a vision statement, and there are many parts that are connected with the SDGs. For this reason, in commemoration of Rilakkuma’s 20th anniversary in 2023, the largest 「Ensemble Tour – Let’s expand together♪ Goyuri SDGs」in Rilakkuma’s history has been planned and is currently being held in each area.

Through Rilakkuma, we aim to share with many people the thought of “Let’s continue at a pace that we can take SDGs actions that we can do to realize a gentle society that will leave no one behind.”
