There was a line for Kurakuen-guchi premium shopping vouchers on Sunday, October 1.
Here it is↓
One hour before sales started. It was 8:00 a.m.
10 minutes later↓
More and more people kept joining the line.
The line even started stretching out onto the road.
At this time of day, there were already lots of cars stopped along the road, and the line kept growing. It was still only 8:30 a.m.
The end of the line.
Believe it or not, even though sales had not even started yet, the available vouchers were already gone.
This time, the Kurakuen-guchi premium shopping vouchers could be purchased in an unprecedented quantity of up to 100 booklets, which is apparently why things turned out like this.
Detailed article↓
It seems they were checking how many booklets each person in line planned to buy, so they sold out before sales officially began.
This time, they can also be used at Ikari Supermarket in Shukugawa and Koyoen, and since they offer a 20% bonus at 143 shops around the Kurakuen area, it seems many people were buying them in batches of 10 booklets.
Even with this many, they disappeared in an instant.
They’ll be sold again next week too, so if you couldn’t buy them this time, give it another try!
- October 7 (Sat)

Finally
On Saturday the 1st, people apparently started lining up from 7:30 a.m., and sales ended at 9:40 a.m. On Sunday the 2nd, the earliest person reportedly started lining up at 6:30 a.m., and the vouchers were sold out by 8:30 a.m. For the next sale, it may be tough unless you get there by at least 8:00 a.m.
