Ownership Timeline
- 1. Signing up
-
Sunday February 4, 2018 - Lottery sign-up day at Mogitore
Monday February 5, 2018 - Begin accepting sign-ups
(Sign-up period: From February 4 until we run out of trees. Ownership period: From the date the agreement is signed until harvest.)
≪About the Lottery sign-up day on Sunday February 4, 2018≫
In previous years we've been flooded with sign-ups for Gumna Meigetsu varieties on the first day, so we no longer have a "first come, first served" system.
Now we run a lottery sign-up day at Mogitore in which the winners are picked at random.
① We only give lottery tickets to those who arrive before 10am on the day.
・Lottery ticket distribution starts from 9am.
・Each visitor may receive only one ticket per person.
② The lottery is run after the tickets have been handed out.
・This is run at the Garden Restaurant. It will be outside, so please wear warm clothing.
・We ask all that have received a lottery ticket to be present for the lottery. You are only eligible if you yourself are there on the day.
③ We ask those who won to choose their tree at the owners desk.
・Each winner may only choose one Gunma Meigetsu tree each.
・If you win but are not present when your number is called, you relinquish the rights to the tree.
≪Signing up from February 5, 2018 onwards≫
From 10am Monday February 5 you can sign up here at Mogitore or by phone (0278-64-2800).
Please understand that tree numbers are limited.
* We do not accept sign-ups by fax, email or post.
* We only accept sign-ups through the methods listed and during the time-frames listed.
* We have a limited number of trees, so sign-ups will end once we run out of trees. - 2. Payment and Agreements
