Kakao VX (CEO Moon Tae-sik) is collaborating with the golf course reservation site Rakuten Gora, operated by Japan's Rakuten Group, to provide a 5% discount coupon and duty-free benefits at Japan's largest sports goods brand Alpen stores for those who book Japanese golf courses through the 'Kakao Golf Reservation' platform.

First, when a round is reserved at a Japanese golf course on the platform, the coupon will be delivered via a notification link before the round. Customers can receive a 5% discount when purchasing products at Alpen, the largest sports goods store operating in about 400 locations across Japan. Additionally, duty-free benefits apply, allowing users to purchase sports goods at a lower price.

'Kakao Golf Reservation' has been providing real-time tee time reservation services for over 420 golf courses actively seeking to attract Korean golfers among those registered with Rakuten Gora, Japan's number one golf course reservation platform, since 2023, without separate translations or member registrations. In particular, it has gained positive responses by providing major information about golf courses, including golf courses, in Korean for users' convenience.

A Kakao VX official noted, "The increase rate of golf trips to Japan exceeded 600% at the end of last year, indicating a high level of user response," and added, "We will continue to collaborate actively with local corporations in Japan to minimize customer inconveniences."
