Lucky bags contain not only goods. Those offering personal experiences have garnered much attention lately.
One of the experience-based lucky bags sold exclusively at Kintetsu Department Store is "the lucky bag offering a leisurely stay at the prestigious Kasui-en," a luxurious inn nestled in a Japanese garden. The one-night stay plan cost is 300,000 yen, and the plan for a two-night stay is 600,000 yen.

The Westin Miyako Kyoto Hotel Annex Kasui-en is a luxury inn with Sukiya-style architecture built in 1959 by Togo Murano, one of Japan's leading architects. It was reopened on July 17, 2020, after a renovation that made it an even more luxurious and elegant space than before.
This is the epitome of extraordinary. Attended to by your own Okami-san (proprietress of an inn) during your stay, you will be treated to excellent cuisine, a hot spring, and a garden offering complete privacy; an experience you should enjoy at least once in your lifetime.

Both plans can be purchased after downloading the Kintetsu Department Store app and registering. The offer is limited to groups of 2 people, and if there are many applicants, selections will be made by lottery. Why not go all out by spending an exceptional day here at the start of the new year!?

These days many industries have introduced subscription-based services, which in Japanese are commonly called "sabusuku." Using this system for a lucky bag item is a novel idea and one garnering much attention, especially the one being sold by New Quick located in the Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro store advertised as "consume two half heads of beef one after the other! A lucky bag of one full head of Japanese black beef."

You can get two one-half heads of domestic Japanese black beef consecutively by regular delivery for three months from January to March 2021 (over-the-counter pickup; extra charge for delivery). The ability to offer such a fantastic deal is possible because New Quick is a shop specializing in meat. The meat consists of 10 types of cuts of Japanese black beef: loin, chuck eye roll, boneless rib, round, shoulder, tenderloin, top sirloin butt, shank, neck, and sirloin. They will also make other kinds of cuts if requested.

Meat connoisseurs should act quickly because only two of these lucky bags are being offered, each costing 1.5 million yen (tax included)! These two lucky bags are being offered in a lottery, so you can either sign up at the shop or apply on the Tobu Department Store website if you are interested. Winners must pay by Sunday, January 10.
According to the Japanese calendar, 2021 is also the Year of the Ox. Winning one of these lucky bags would indeed make it a great year.
