The new omikuji (fortune) that was newly awarded at the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, on November 1, has been attracting a lot of attention, with people saying, "It's too cute! I really want to go and draw one! What kind of omikuji is it? We actually experienced it at the site.

Adorable ceramic "Ezo Squirrel fortune

The name is "Ezorisu-mikuji. The palm-sized ceramic Ezoris contains a fortune, and the initial fee is 500 yen. 500 yen coins are inserted to reveal an Ezoris in a capsule. There are four types: red, yellow, blue, and secret.

The Ezoris holding a torii gate is cute! Total of 4 types: red, yellow, blue, and secret.

The "Ezoris mikuji" that appeared in the store is indescribably cute with its slight form. Incidentally, you can take out the fortune without breaking the Ezo squirrel. Peel off the sticker at the bottom, and the omikuji can be easily removed.

The back view of the Ezo squirrel is also kind of adorable...

The fortune is being given at the Hokkaido Shrine! You might even see wild Ezo squirrels!

The "Ezorisu-mikuji" is so cute that you will want to display it, so please try it when you visit the shrine. Furthermore, since Hokkaido Jingu Shrine is also a habitat of wild Ezo squirrels, you may be lucky enough to see a real Ezo squirrel in the shrine grounds.

The "Ezo squirrel fortune" is so popular that it may be limited in quantity or temporarily suspended. Please check the official Hokkaido Jingu X account for the latest information.
