(japan-guide.com) Rakuten Travel has been running multiple spring and Golden Week promotions and coupon events on its site and app in late April 2026, alongside the X giveaway. (ls-wegazine.net) The company has used follow‑and‑repost mechanics on X before — for example a 2025 Rakuten Travel campaign awarded 10,000 points to winners who followed and reposted a campaign post.

(consumer.ftc.gov) Rakuten’s post specifies the prize (10,000 points) and the draw size (15 winners), and entries remain visible on X as users post their Golden Week plans. (sotwe.com)
