In this article,Checkpoints for choosing the best way to go to your first sale and tips for preparing to avoid traffic and congestion on the dayWe will compile the facts regarding Echizen Lake Town and the Mikurazu Outlet based on actual conditions there.
Common problems on the first day of sales
A recurring stumbling point in the annual New Year's sales and lucky bag shopping spree: is there anything that comes to mind?
They won't let me into the parking lot.
Even though the parking lots at Utsunomiya Lake Town are gradually released from 7 AM on New Year's Day, they are immediately full before the shops open. The same thing happens at the Kinshuzan Outlet as well; the peak time is at 9 AM, and just standing in line to get in is enough to ruin the morning.
Aqua Line is congested
In the Kita-Suzuka area, there are also days when there is a traffic jam of up to 7 kilometers in size in the early morning of the first day of the week. When you drive yourself, you get tired before you even get there.
Unable to move around due to the large baggage in the lucky bag
Taking the loot from multiple stores and heading to the next one with it. With trains and buses, it’s difficult to carry around, and it’s a big burden for parents with young children or seniors.
Divided by fractions, they become separate
When there are a large number of people, they split into two taxis, and their families and friends tend to get lost. They also waste time waiting for them to reunite.
All of these are "difficulties that can be solved with money." By putting all the hassle of driving, parking, carrying luggage, and meeting up into one single task, you can use the time spent on the first day of sales to actually shop.

Whether there is enough space for the number of people and luggage
With the Toyota HiAce Wide Super Long Jumbo Taxi, you can carry up to 9 people. Even if you have more loot from the lucky draw or outlet sales, you can still pack them all into the rear cargo compartment. To ensure there is enough space for your luggage on the way back, it’s important to choose a number and model of car that allows for some leeway.
Can it handle multiple locations and standby operations?
"In Utsunomiya Lake Town, get the lucky draw bag and take it straight to the Kiryu Outlets."Multiple stores require scaffolding + waiting in the middleThis usage method is difficult to implement with one-way scheduled OTA and ride-sharing apps. With a one-way rental, you can adjust the destination and duration of your stay to suit the progress of the day.
Point:Please check if there are any additional fees or late-night or early-morning surcharges based on the vehicle type. JumboTaxi.comNo additional charge for car types; no early morning surchargeEven if you start working early on New Year's Day, the fees are easy to read and you can rest assured at the quote stage.
What will happen to each person if it's a split payment?
The charter fee is per vehicle. The basic idea is to divide this amount by the number of people who will be traveling. As long as there are four family members and six to nine friends, the individual cost will be reduced. Considering the detailed costs involved—round-trip train fare, heavy luggage delivered by courier service, and parking fees—there are few situations where it makes more sense to “split the cost among everyone and enjoy the comfort of door-to-door travel for an entire day.”Pricing pagePlease confirm the estimated cost with us.
It works in a scene like this at the beginning of the sales season
If the area you are traveling in is covered by this service (either the place where you get on or the place where you get off), this round-trip trip can be completed with just one vehicle.
Conquer Utsunomiya Lake Town in the early morning rush hour
I started from my home in the Tokyo 23 wards area in Saitama Prefecture and arrived just in time for opening time. Even as I walked around the spacious premises of kaze・mori・outlet, I left my loot in the car and moved on with my light load.
Cross the Aquamarine Line to get to the Kichijyushi Outlet
Adjusted departure times to avoid peak traffic hours. The driver took care of driving, and the family discussed the lucky bag inside the car. On the way home, we had to carry all the heavy luggage to the front door.
First-time shopping spree for three generations
Even if all the children, parents, and grandparents are together, everyone rides along. It reduces the walking distance and waiting time, so it’s safe for seniors and families with small children.
Of course, for smaller groups or if you live close by, taking the train or driving your own car may be more convenient.Large number of people, large luggage, multiple locations, and long distanceIt’s so convenient to have charter boats available that it’s enough to fill the entire bay.
Tips for preparing in advance and avoiding congestion on the day
The departure time is set to avoid the "mountain of congestion".
The Akari Line and the entrance to the Kitashitsu Outlet are usually busiest around 9:00 to 12:00 AM. Depending on whether you act quickly right after the store opens or deliberately head out later in the afternoon, the same first-day sales experience will be completely different. If you let us know your preferences, we will work out a departure time based on the time you want to arrive.
Share the order in which they will rotate and the duration of their stay in advance
If you tell the pickup location and destination in advance, like "Lake Town → 2 hours → lunch → Kigo Tsushima," it will make the day go smoothly. On the day of the trip, if you rent a car, we can flexibly accommodate waiting and changing the order.
Inform about the expected belongings and luggage
If you share with us in advance whether you have a stroller or wheelchair, and how much luggage it will add up to with the lucky draw package, we can take that into account when proposing the vehicle type and packing method.
