More foreign tourists visited to Japan than last year since the Yen has dropped down and cheaper to purchase goods in Japan.
New Year's lucky bags are typical in Japan though it seems risky to buy because there might be unwanted things in it. But the habit to buy lucky bags are a kind of pleasure or gift to family just like giving small money to children as it were Christmas present in the western countries.
But who wants to buy unknown things but recently shops announce what's in the bag before hands. So it might attract foreign tourists for the New Year's gift by themselves.
It's a challenging to sell Japanese style gift to the world.

Thank you for your concern.
削除Life is mysterious like full of miracles.
I go to Kanazawa with my family to buy lucky bags every year on New Year's Day. We line up for opening of a store about one hour. In the case of my home, it is clothes.
返信削除However, We understood the contents recently, and the advance reservations came to be possible, too. Furthermore, We can appoint it to a favorite color.
We begin with competition at the beginning of the year.
It runs the gamut at department stores.
Sandra
Wow you are an eager shopper to get things for your family, seems like a good mom. I had used to be there enjoyed shopping but recent years I've not been a good shopper because of small family.
削除I bought lucky bag only once ten years ago.
返信削除There were some clothes in a bag.I liked some,but the other wasn't my taste.
Now we seem see a contant of it, reserve it,and choose a size and a color.
I try a cloth, and want to buy it.
But when I hear department store sells lucky bags in New Year,I'm puzzle that I go or not.
I also ever bought a lucky bag long time ago.
削除It was a pleasure gift with a big family.
Lucky bag is an interesting idea.
返信削除Do other countries not have such the sale-style?
I often seen it in news that young people exchange the contents of the lucky bag of other people and the contents of one's lucky bag.
Even Toyama, do exchanging the contents of lucky bag?
I've nrver bought a lucky bag.
But, maybe, I think to be good sale-style for to aim at the woeld markets!
By the way,
I tried again and again to send a comment, but, can't send.
I have committed any mistake?
Oh...you've been trying to send mails and failed a lot?
削除Sorry for that! But you did it successfully any way!
To day,I displayed a christmas tree.
返信削除I redecorata my home every season,when christmas is over New year the next Dolls’Festival.
I want to enjoy a season
It is self-satisfaction!
Wow...you are something like an illuminator, aren't you?
削除Foreigners to visit Japan has been remarkably increased in recent years, and it is said that it will reach 13 million people in this year.
返信削除Especially, many people of the wealthy, such as Taiwan and China, is thriving with tour to buy the excellent products of Japan.
In such a situation, "lucky bag" commercial code of Japan tradition is very interesting, isn't it?
Although original "lucky bag" were a fun that we don't know the contents, "lucky bag" for foreigners has made clear the goods.
Perhaps, I think there is an aim to stimulate their purchasing willingness by named of "lucky bag".
It's a symbolization of luck, such as fortune lot or fortune cookie popular among people in Asia.
