Japan’s Newest Technology Innovation: Priest Delivery

Japan has a new delivery service and it isn't for food. Japanese consumers, through Amazon, are now able to order a priest on Amazon with a set price to do services for people. They bring the temple to you instead of you going to the temple. I think that this is a great idea because people like things centered around them and this service is very convenient. It makes me wonder if this trend will spread. This has been a service by Amazon for a little over a year. There are 400 priests employed. Some services are $344 and others can be $639 depending on which package you select. This is the first online service of this kind and I am sure that it will catch on.
