fortune-telling
After a month of visiting auspicious sites, Seiji’s luck levels should be maxed out, right?
For now, you can observe rare tarot cards on display, but there are lots of events to come!
Five different kinds of fortune-telling combined with digital art sounds like a great time!
This little device could almost always be found in cafés in Japan throughout the latter part of the Showa Period (1926-1989).
In order to change yourself for the better, one Japanese website is offering a simple way to identify your own faults based on your date of birth.
Hey everyone, how has 2014 treated you? Did you finally get that dream job you wanted? Or maybe you moved, or found a significant other?
With only a little over two months left in the year, you might find yourself already looking forward to what the new year has to offer. If you’re especially eager to get a ‘sneak-peak’ of what 2015 has in store for you, then this new Shrine Cafe located in Tokyo’s Takadanobaba neighborhood may just be the perfect place for you. It only opened its doors on the 14th of this month, but it already promises to fill a niche in Japan’s already abundant and eclectic cafe scene.
But wait–just what the heck is a shrine cafe??
