Some newlyweds are incorporating omikuji as a unique performance at their wedding receptions! ♡

A popular theme for couples changing into traditional attire is the "Omikuji Round."

During the table rounds, the couple distributes omikuji to the guests ♩

Guests can show each other their omikuji, discuss the messages, and it is sure to make the table round much more enjoyable.

What do you include in the omikuji at your wedding reception?

But.

When incorporating omikuji into a wedding reception, one concern is what to include in the "contents of the omikuji."

Generally, the fortunes from shrines include "great fortune, fortune, middle fortune, small fortune, last fortune, misfortune, and great misfortune," but...

It's a bit embarrassing to have guests draw omikuji with not-so-good fortunes when they're there to celebrate your special day.

If you're going to offer omikuji at your wedding, you'd want them to have happy and cheerful contents, right? ♡

Omikuji without fixed fortunes exist!

In fact, there are shrines that offer omikuji without specific fortunes that don't hurt anyone!

This article introduces shrines where you can draw omikuji not based on fortune but unique contents that are lovely or amusing.

This should serve as a reference for couples wanting to include an omikuji performance in their reception! ♡

Omikuji without fixed fortunes ① Meiji Shrine

The first shrine to introduce is Meiji Shrine, located in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Meiji Shrine enshrines Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken (the wife of Emperor Meiji) as a couple.

The omikuji here is called "Oomigokoro," and consists of 30 selections from the 27,825 works of poetry and waka composed by Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, particularly those providing moral guidance.

It’s a lovely omikuji unique to Meiji Shrine.

Since the fortunes are more about guidance than strict outcomes, it seems there isn't a place to tie it within the shrine grounds. It's an omikuji you might want to draw every year to guide your future life.

Omikuji without fixed fortunes ② Izumo Taisha

Izumo Taisha, located in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, is famous as a shrine for matchmaking and as a deity of fortune. Just seeing the famous "Oshimenawa" surely brings benefits.

The omikuji at Izumo Taisha is numbered from one to thirty, and like traditional omikuji, it covers topics such as communication, construction, marriage, health, relocation, lost items, sales, directions, and travel.

While it lacks fixed fortunes, it seems that for less favorable results, people still tend to tie them in the shrine grounds.

Instead of overall fortune, this omikuji allows you to reflect on each individual item.

Omikuji without fixed fortunes ③ Nekojita Shrine

Lastly, we introduce a uniquely themed omikuji. The "Omiyakuji" from Nekojita Shrine, found within "Nagasaki no Neko," a shop specializing in cat goods in Nagasaki.

The omiyakuji features fish names such as "Ajikichi" and "Sakekichi," as the results of the omikuji.

【Health Fortune】 Healthy, happy, full of energy! No problems at all, meow.

Cute and uplifting messages like this are included! ♡

A delightful and amusing experience, the "omiyakuji" is something you'd want to try even if you're not a cat lover! *
