Omikuji, oracles, are strips of paper with random fortunes printed on them, available at shrines and temples. Traditional at Hatsumode, New Year shrine visit, though they are bought all year round. You place a 5-yen coin in the box and pull out a coin. Photo at Sanzen-in, Ohara-ku, Kyoto-shi. December 18 2014. If you are planning on a shrine visit this year, there is a very good description on Wikipedia with images of the different kanji here; print it off and carry it for reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-mikuji
