Yokai Sighting Update

The ten yokai have been appearing across Beitou! Kappa has returned to its home site at Plum Garden after a temporary stay at the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. You can now visit Plum Garden to find Kappa and collect its stamp.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is still staying at Beitou Museum. It will return to its home site once Sweetme Hotspring Resort reopens, which is expected in early October. Please check the updated locations below before setting out to collect stamps.

Where to Buy the Passport

Beitou Museum, Beitou Heart Village, Xinbeitou Historic Station, Beitou Hot Spring Museum, and the Thermal Valley Shop.

Price: NT$350, which includes one free admission to the Beitou Museum and one free admission to Xiangyang Xinyuan.

Please Note: The Stamp Stations at Beitou Museum and Xiangyang Xinyuan Are Inside the Venues

At these two sites, both the yokai stamp and the layered stamp are located inside the ticketed area, so you will need to complete admission before stamping.

• Passport holders: show your passport for one free admission. Front-desk staff will add the validation stamp to the first page of your passport, after which you may enter and collect the stamp.
• Visitors without a passport: a separate admission ticket is required before stamping.

We regret that we are unable to offer stamping without admission. Thank you for your understanding.

When visiting each stamp station, please check its opening hours and on-site rules and follow the guidance of staff, so that your stamp itinerary runs smoothly.

Collect All Ten Colours and Enter the Hot Spring Prize Draw

Visit all ten stamp stations and gather all ten colours of the layered yokai stamp on the final page of your passport. As the ten layers build up one on top of another, a yokai found only in Beitou will emerge — and that image is your entry to the prize draw.

Once the layered image is complete, photograph the page (please make sure that all ten stamp colours and the passport serial number are clearly legible) and upload it to the online entry form:

Online entry form ➨ https://tally.so/r/KYyVrA

Once your photo has been reviewed and approved, your entry is confirmed. The list of winners will be announced in early March 2027 on the museum’s official website, and winners will also be notified individually by telephone.

Prizes are sponsored jointly by local Beitou partners and include public bath passes from Kagaya, private tatami hot spring room passes from the Asia Pacific Hotel, hot spring mineral bloom (yunohana) gift sets from the Thermal Valley Shop, railway souvenirs from Xinbeitou Historic Station, a picnic mat from Beitou Heart Village, a commemorative handkerchief from the Hot Spring Museum, and a Tong set-menu voucher for the museum’s Yi Ran Ju dining room — with further sponsored prizes still being added.

Points to Note Before Entering

• Submission deadline: 23:59 on 28 February 2027. (Two further weeks are allowed for uploads after the event closes.)
• Each passport — that is, each serial number — may be entered in the draw once only. Where the same passport is submitted more than once, the first entry stands. Each person may win only one prize.
• The photograph must clearly show all ten stamp colours and the passport serial number. Entries that are blurred, incomplete or otherwise illegible will be treated as not having been completed.
• Winners who do not respond or who fail to complete the prize collection process within 14 days of notification will be deemed to have forfeited their prize.
• Under the tax laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan), winners of prizes valued at more than NT$1,000 are required to provide identification documents so that the prize can be reported for income tax purposes.
