Omikuji - Japanese Fortune Slip

Test your luck with Omikuji! Omikuji is a paper slip with the result of fortune-telling written on it. Many Japanese shrines and temples offer this omikuji to tell your fortune and give you advice on how to improve your life in the future. If your Omikuji tells you that your fortune is not so good, tie it to the tree. By tying the fortune to the tree, you are leaving your bad luck there rather than having it follow you home.

Kingyo Sukui - Goldfish Scooping Game

Kingyo-sukui is a traditional Japanese game in which a player scoops goldfish with a paper scooper called a "poi." The players puts the scooped fish into a bowl with the poi.

Kakigori - Japanese Shave Ice
