"By having each store transcend the boundaries of their industry and business type and unite the street as one, we hope to further revitalize Shimotori Shopping Street and convey the charm of the street to visitors," the store said. "This campaign is being co-hosted with local residents after they were approached about revitalizing the local area using "Smartphone Wallet."

During the campaign period, customers can visit participating stores in the Shimotori Shopping Arcade and collect original stamps by holding the Smartphone Wallet app over the stamp terminal installed in the store. Once you collect five stamps, you will be issued a ticket to take part in a lottery to be held in Shimotori Shopping Arcade.
