If you draw a “bad luck” fortune at Ashiya Shrine, apparently you can take it to Tanaka Kinseido, a specialty okaki and senbei rice cracker shop in Ogimasu-cho along the Naruo-Mikage Line, and get a 500 yen gift certificate!

I wondered, “Do people really draw ‘bad luck’ fortunes that often?” but they told us, “Quite a few people come in with them!” I only draw omikuji once in a while, so I never noticed, but it seems “bad luck” fortunes are more common than you’d think…!
This is such a nice campaign because even if you draw a “bad luck” fortune, you don’t have to feel disappointed (it might actually be a big win!?)
↑The exterior of “Tanaka Kinseido.” It’s a long-established shop near the intersection of the Naruo-Mikage Line and Ashiya Hondori.
↑Here’s what it looks like inside. The shelves are lined with an incredible variety of senbei and okaki. It’s amazing that everything is handmade in the shop!
↑They have wheat flour-based crackers like kawara senbei and tansan senbei, plus snack-style options like cheese okaki and curry okaki. (I, Fuko, got hooked on the slightly spicy curry okaki!)

At Ashiya Shrine, from Wednesday, November 15 to Friday, December 15, the autumn leaves will be illuminated from sunset until 21:00, and on Saturday, November 25, the “Ashiya Shrine Autumn Leaves Tunnel Walk-Through Bar” = Night Sky, Autumn Leaves, and Ashiya Food = is scheduled to be held.
Before enjoying the autumn leaf illumination or the bar event, draw an omikuji, and if you get “bad luck,” head to “Tanaka Kinseido” the next day!
