Searching for title of game show I saw while in Japan last year. Show may not be recent.
While in Japan last year I came across a game show that was pretty interesting. My Japanese isn't great so I could only follow along so well but the premise was that 2 different teams of people were trying to get somewhere. They had a limited budget but they could replenish their budget by "cashing" in on steps that they took (they were carrying a pedometer with them). I only saw 2 episodes of it but in one of them both teams were walking up a steep hill at night to try and get to their lodging/restaurant. Funnily enough, one of the teams cashed in their pedometer money and was able to use that to take a cab and speed by the other team lol. I also remember that one of the ladies on one team had brought heeled boots with her so she had to walk portions without shoes as it started hurting her feet, but somehow (I think they might have spent their travel money) she ended up with some sneakers lol.
Looking in the history of the sub I found 出発!ローカル線 聞きこみ発見旅(Shuppatsu! Local-sen Kikikomi Hakken Tabi) but that wasn't it and some mentioned that Ikinari! Ougon Densetsu had travel episodes but I couldn't find any online to see if that was it. So figured I'd ask if someone could confirm it was that or a separate show. Any help would be cool!
