LCC Peach|Destination Unknown "Travel Lottery" vending machine installed in Shibuya Parco|Where is the reporter going?
From October 30 (Tuesday) to December 31 (Friday), LCC Peach Aviation will set up a capsule-type vending machine "Travel Lottery" on the 6th floor of Shibuya Parco, where you cannot choose the destination. Lottery tickets are purchased for 5,000 yen at a time, and can be scanned with the smartphone payment "PayPay".
This is the second "Travel Lottery" vending machine, following its installation at Osaka Shinsaibashi Parco in August this year. The contents of the capsule include a Peach Point registration code worth 6,000 yen or more that can be used to purchase tickets for designated destinations from 11 domestic routes departing from Tokyo (Narita), "Memanbetsu", "Kushiro", "New Chitose", "Kansai", "Fukuoka", "Oita", "Nagasaki", "Miyazaki", "Amami", "Naha", and "Ishigaki", as well as a mission for the destination and a can badge. If you complete the mission and post it on the company's review site, one person will win 3,000 points by lottery every month. For example, "Go to Sapporo, peel the crab with great difficulty, and give it to the person next to you!"
(Added on 10/17) According to Peach SNS dated 10/16, the "Travel Lottery" scheduled to be sold in October is sold out. The resumption date will be announced on SNS.
Journalist's "Travel Lottery" Purchase Experience
Shibuya is also a reporter's daily route, so I stopped by Shibuya Parco this morning and drew a travel lottery.
Shibui Parco opens at 11 a.m. If you arrive 30 minutes early, the staff (Peach employee) will hold up a placard and distribute numbered tickets. Reporters also get numbered tickets. When I asked, I was told that many customers came on the first and second days and gave up a little, so they changed to distributing numbered tickets. There are 6-7 Peach employees on site? Was. As far as the reporter himself knows, major companies and local governments sometimes leave the entire site to a contractor, but at Peach, employees were in charge of the site and listened directly to the customer's voice. It is LCC-like to do it yourself, but the reporter who is also involved in agency work was impressed. The point of liking varies from person to person, but it can also be a reason for reporters to choose Peach.
After 11 o'clock, when I went to the vending machine on the 6th floor, a TV interview crew came. I was taking pictures of the line at the vending machine, so the reporter waited for a while and was watching.
Finally, the reporter will buy it. Scan the PayPay QR on the window glass and pay by payment. A round capsule of peach color falls out. When I left the scene, thinking that I was going to open the package, I thought it was my workplace, and the young pair of girlfriends said, "It's Amami!" It is impressive that he was raising his voice.
I certainly felt excited while traveling. Finally, the reporter's capsule is opened. First of all, there are travel lotteries and badges. The travel lottery is like a flyer, and the destination is written on the back cover. The reporter's destination is → "Memanbetsu", and the mission is "Nibble on salmon in Shiretoko!"
"Memanbetsu" in the east of Hokkaido may not be well known, but at the foot of the Sea of Okhotsk side is the famous "Abashiri". It is about 20-30 minutes by car from the airport to the city center. I'm sorry to say that it was a personal matter for the reporter, but it was a fateful destination. In fact, this year, I visited Monbetsu (airport), which is a little north of "Memanbetsu", twice. I became a fan of Hokkaido, and then I was thinking about "Memanbetsu" and "Kushiro".
For the travel lottery, you pay 5,000 yen and purchase 6,000 yen worth of points. Moreover, you can't decide where to go by yourself. LCCs are usually quite cheap, so to be honest, it's hard to feel the merit of a 1,000 yen discount. However, the fun may be that you draw a destination that you feel doomed to like a reporter, or you may become a fan and repeat it by pulling an unexpected destination and visit it, or you may be fascinated by a trip to an unknown land. When I think about it, the purpose of this site is to "make every corner of Japan a travel destination" and "increase travel to Japan." That is. I can't help but feel the meaning of it from the travel lottery. The coronavirus pandemic has been particularly tough for the airline industry. During that time, I was impressed that they often came up with such a dreamy project and actually released it.
In addition, in order to register for Peach Points purchased through the Travel Lottery, you must first register as an individual member on the Peach site. After that, enter the "exchange code" and "password" described in the travel lottery in the designated frame to complete the point conversion. You can check the number of points there. Points will be valid until March 31 next year. It has been decided to go to Memanbetsu within half a year. I want to go fast.
