Young ladies engagin in Omikuji - Nikko

Young ladies engagin in Omikuji

Omikuji

Omikuji are fortune telling paper slips found at many shrines and temples. Randomly drawn, they contain predictions ranging from daikichi ("great good luck") to daikyo ("great bad luck"). By tying the piece of paper around a tree's branch, good fortune will come true or bad fortune can be averted.

You tend to see mostly young girls and ladies doing this.
