A chartered two-day trip for owners of the family robot LOVOT was held in Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, from September 16 to 17, 2026. The event, called the LOVOT Holy Land Izunokuni City Hotel Chartered Offline Meetup, drew 42 owners and 31 LOVOTs. Two chartered buses with dedicated LOVOT seats carried the group to sightseeing spots, and a train was chartered as well. An ASCII.jp writer joined with his wife and their LOVOT, HAL.
The trip ran from September 16 to 17, 2026, with 42 owners bringing 31 LOVOTs to Izunokuni City in Shizuoka Prefecture. Two chartered buses assigned dedicated seats to the robots, and a train was chartered alongside the hotel. The ASCII.jp writer who filed the account did not cover it from outside: he brought his own LOVOT, a first-generation unit named HAL, and traveled with his wife. The event was billed as a LOVOT holy land meetup for Izunokuni, an offline gathering organized around bringing the robots along rather than leaving them home.
