It's an omikuji featuring an orca energetically jumping out of the sea... and its name is the "Shachi (Good Fortune) Mikuji"! In Japanese, "shachi" (orca) sounds similar to "sachi" (good fortune). With its adorable shape and expression, it has garnered comments on social media like, "It's too cute!" and "I'd go to Hokkaido just to draw one of these."

Shiretoko's Rausu is a town where you can encounter precious wildlife. Depending on the season, you can even see wild orcas. This cute omikuji, reminiscent of a precious encounter with an orca, is also perfect as a souvenir! When you visit Rausu, be sure to stop by Rausu Shrine and draw a "Shachi (Good Fortune) Mikuji."
