Cocoloni Inc. (HQ: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Masanori Mizokami), a Zappallas Group company, announced its collaboration with Cool Japan Travel Inc. by providing fortune-tellers for the "Boost Your Luck for the Latter Half of 2026! Hakone Shrine & Private Appraisal Bus Tour" held on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
Proposing New Experiential Value with "Travel x Fortune-Telling" The initiative aims to generate new experiential value by combining travel and fortune-telling. The plan involves providing fortune-telling sessions on the bus, at tourist destinations, and during meals, intended to foster communication among participants and enhance the overall satisfaction of the travel experience.
Designing an Experience Where Fortune-Telling Makes Travel Special This tour is more than just sightseeing. It is designed as a seamless experience that includes a visit to the power spot of Hakone Shrine, enjoying a famous hot spring and a kaiseki lunch at Tenseien, and receiving a private appraisal from a fortune-teller. This structure transforms a simple visit into a special experience, offering participants a chance for self-reflection and insights for the second half of 2026.
Rising Demand for "Experiential Consumption" and Focus on Interactive Content In recent years, there has been a growing focus on participatory and immersive content in events and tourism, driven by a shift in consumer demand from "mono-shohi" (consumption of goods) to "koto-shohi" (consumption of experiences). Fortune-telling is seen as a versatile content form that not only provides entertainment but also sparks communication and deepens participants' emotional engagement.
Fostering New Communication through "Fortune-Telling Experiences" Cocoloni plans to continue proposing experience-based content utilizing fortune-telling for sectors such as tourism, commercial facilities, events, and promotions, thereby contributing to corporate and municipal problem-solving, customer acquisition, and buzz creation.
Participating Fortune-Tellers - Hiromi Namatame: A Feng Shui and psychology expert. - Mirun: A popular fortune-teller with over 40,000 appraisals. - Miko: Known for readings that combine inspiration and Tarot. - Maria Uchuuno: A top-ranking fortune-teller on the chat-based service "Chapli."
