Are ya feelin’ lucky? Because this vending machine dispenses fortunes, just like the ones you can buy at Japanese shrines! But that’s not all – it’s delivered by a little animatronic shrine maiden, who fetches if from the inner precincts and deposits it in the offering box for your future-divining pleasure.
If you’d like to visit the shrine maiden vending machine the next time you’re in Tokyo, there’s a curated Yanaka walking tour on my other blog, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had
