After passing through the Kaminarimon gate, the Nakamise street continues, and after passing through the Hozomon gate, you will finally arrive at the main hall. Here you should definitely try to draw a traditional omikuji. The omikuji at Sensoji Temple is known for its large number of "bad lucks," but this is because the temple faithfully follows the ancient ratio of omikuji. I'll be really lucky if I get a big fortune at Sensoji!" The fact that there are so many "bad lucks" seems to be the opposite of what makes them so popular.
