#mikuji

Mikuji at Senso-ji. Shake the canister and pull out a stick with a number written on it. The drawer with the same number contains your fortune.
The numbers are written in kanji, so if you have trouble just ask someone around you for help. Learning to read the numbers in the old style will make your visit to Japan a lot easier. Some restaurants, especially in Kyoto, write their prices that way

Checking their fortunes (mikuji みくじ) at Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple in Asakusa area of Tokyo.
