JAPANKURU Returns from J-POP SUMMIT 2017 

● Some of Day 2's Highlights ●

JAPANKURU is back for day 2 

at the 2017 J-POP SUMMIT in San Francisco!

Before we get into some of the highlights,

we want to show you the individual booths 

and what was offered there within the travel pavilion~☆

°˖✧JAPANKURU TRAVEL PAVILION BOOTHS✧˖°

❶ JAPANKURU

 At the JAPANKURU booth, you could choose all sorts of VR clips

ranging from going to an animal park to more traditional Japanese adventures.

If you engaged in the VR experience, 

you received a JAPANKURU sticker 

which enabled you to partake in the final 

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS CHALLENGE - 

where all the BIG prizes were brought out!

The mailbox for the JAPANKURU post cards was also here💌

② TSUTAYA & DON QUIJOTE

 TSUTAYA is a major music and book store in Japan.
So JAPANKURU helps set the scene by having some major musician posters with autographs decorate the booth.

DON QUIJOTE is a very popular store that sells a wide range of goods.

It's huge among foreign tourists, 

which is why there were lots of sightseeing information 

and deals/coupons available at the booth.

❸ TOKYO

 There were 2 different areas of the TOKYO booth as well.

On the right, 

you could do Japanese calligraphy

Then on the left,
get a Japanese manicure💅

Here's some of the calligraphy that was done!

Everyone wrote "Tokyo" in Chinese characters (kanji)

東京🖌

④ TOCHIGI

The TOCHIGI booth mainly focused on it's NASU area.

Here you could get all kinds of information, 

take a questioner and get a capybara cookie,

and of course take pictures with the cute stuffed animals!🐑🐪🐗

❺ NTA 

 NTA (Nippon Travel Agency) sold lots of travel packages 

such as JR Rail Passes for those planning on going to Japan.

⑥ WOWU

WOWU is a travel information site that helps personalizes your trip to Japan!
They gave out WOWU fans and even BAND-MAID keychains if you signed up!

❼ RYOKAN

 The RYOKAN booth was a combination of a traditional Japanese Inn
and introducing some of Japan's most popular yurukyara, or mascots.

 Like the JAPANKURU booth, 

a VR area where you can experience what it's like 

to visit a Japanese Ryokan was available. 

Or if people wanted to take a break 

and hang out with some yurukyara,

that was an option too!

⑧ MODERN & TRADITIONAL FASHION

There were two different stores to fit the theme of 

MODERN & TRADITIONAL FASHION.

For the modern Japan side, 

Shibuya's fashion store VANQUISH.
There, you could do a VR experience 

to see what it's like to shop in busy busy Shibuya! 

The traditional Japan side, 

was a yukata rental shop Rinka.
There people could rent a yukata 

and walk around the summit in them!

❾ TOKYO DAIJINGU

The TOKYO DAIJINGU was a busy area 

because it had lots of things for people to do! 

Here people could learn about Shintoism from a Miko-san,
a Shinto priestess.

They could also draw omikuji, which are fortunes,

and write ema, which are like wishing planks.

We took the ema that everyone wrote 

and hung them up here in front of the JAPANKURU stage!

⑩ SHIMANE

 Connected to Tokyo Daijingu was SHIMANE.

Here you could make your own sacred braided rope

that's used for ritual purification in the Shinto religion.

⓫ POST CARDS

 At the postcard table, 

people could take an array of postcards 

from some of JAPANKURU's shoots.

 The postcards were on the table 

and on the other side of where the ema were hung.

 People could also write messages on those postcards, 

buy a stamp at the JAPANKURU booth, 

and once JAPANKURU returned to Japan,

we would send the postcards to the addressed people.

So they would get a postcard from Japan💌
