It?s "lucky" to be in Japan for New Year celebrations.
To kick off the start of the new business year, Japanese retailers have a custom of selling sealed goodie bags priced at a large discount.
The bags, called "fukubukuro" (meaning "lucky bag" or "mystery bag"), can contain items worth more than six times their retail price.
While most stores in Japan opened on Wednesday, January 2, the first business day of the new year, 2013 marked the first year that a department store opened on New Year?s Day.
