“Yoyappin” launches allowing space reservations at 14,000 locations, JR West and others

JR West and SPACEE launched a space-and-experience reservation service called Yoyappin.

Yoyappin lets users book a variety of nationwide spaces by the hour from as little as 15 minutes, combining +PLACE and SPACEE to offer about 14,000 locations via smartphone.

Available spaces include meeting rooms, private booths, coworking spaces, party rooms, and rental studios.

Rewards use WESTER points and Yoyappin miles; Yoyappin miles can be used at 1 mile = 1 yen. A launch campaign offers WESTER points and coupons, including a 500-yen-off coupon for the first 5,000 users.

Release campaign: customers who spend 5,000 yen or more are entered into a draw where 50 winners receive 1,000 Yoyappin miles or 1,000 WESTER points. iOS/Android apps will be provided from April onward.
