FISHPASS Supports Your 2026 Fishing Life! Campaign Launches with Luxury Prizes for Ticket Purchasers ― Enter by purchasing Annual or Common Tickets; Win Polarized Glasses, Meat Gift Certificates, and More ―

FISHPASS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture; Representative Director: Shigehiro Nishimura), operator of the recreational fishing ticket sales platform "FISH PASS," announced on December 12 the start of the "Spring Luck Campaign" in anticipation of the lifting of the ban on mountain stream fishing and the opening of the 2026 fishing season.

This campaign offers users who purchase eligible recreational fishing tickets (annual tickets or common tickets) a chance to win luxury prizes through a lottery. The initiative aims to provide a smooth purchasing experience through the app while supporting the preservation of fishing environments and ensuring a comfortable fishing life.

■ Higher Winning Odds with Every Purchase

The application period runs from December 12, 2025, to March 31, 2026. To apply, users must purchase an eligible recreational fishing ticket during this period and complete the entry via the dedicated form.

A key feature of the campaign is that each ticket counts as one entry; therefore, purchasing multiple annual tickets increases the probability of winning. Additionally, once an entry is made, any subsequent purchases are automatically added to the entry count, eliminating the need to re-apply.

■ A Variety of Prizes from Fishing Gear to Gourmet Food

The prize lineup includes FLOAT "SIERRA" polarized glasses (5 winners), 10,000 yen worth of meat gift certificates (10 winners), ROOT CO. × FISHPASS Mag Reels (10 winners), Fukui Prefecture's "Ichihomare" rice (10 winners), Lake Towada Kokanee Salmon (Himemasu) (10 winners), and Amazon Gift Cards worth 2,000 yen (30 winners).

FISHPASS is a service that allows users to purchase recreational fishing tickets 24 hours a day via a single app, while also providing fishing spot information and disaster prevention notifications. Through this campaign, the company aims to further promote service usage and contribute to regional revitalization.

■ ICT Startup League
This support program was launched in fiscal year 2023, initiated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Project for Research and Development of Startups in the Incubation Stage."
The ICT Startup League supports startups through four main pillars:
1. R&D / Hands-on Support
Up to 20 million yen in R&D funding is provided in the form of a grant. Regarding hands-on support, the evaluation committee members involved in the selection of league members continue to provide guidance after selection to foster growth. For companies that committee members "absolutely want to select," a support system akin to "fandom" (oshi-katsu) is established, where the evaluators themselves provide continuous support, such as advice on business plans and offering growth opportunities.
2. Discovery & Incubation
We provide opportunities for learning and networking to accelerate the business growth of league members.
We also expand the ecosystem by discovering and incubating those aiming to start new businesses.
3. Competition & Co-creation
Designed as a positive competitive arena similar to a sports league, startups learn together and challenge each other to win the necessary funding (up to 20 million yen). It also provides a space for co-creation where league members collaborate to expand their businesses through various opportunities, such as sessions with evaluation committee members.
4. Communication
We disseminate the initiatives of league members in collaboration with the media. By letting more people know about these businesses, we aim to expand opportunities for new matching and business chances.
