There is less than 3 months to go before we enter the new year.

3 months will go past in the blink of an eye, so why not start preparing for your new year’s event now?

If you happen to be in Japan, you can consider celebrating the Japanese way.

In this post, we introduce some items that you can rent for your Japanese new year’s event!

1) Mochi Pounding Set

Mochi pounding has a strong association with new year’s in Japan!

Many events in Japan during the new year will feature a mochi pounding session, and this mochi pounding set is one of the essential items!

2) Omikuji

Omikuji is a type of traditional Japanese fortune telling.

One shakes the omikuji box, which contains many sticks, until 1 stick falls out.
Based on the number shown on the stick, the fortune will differ too.
Fortunes can range from “very good luck” to “very bad luck”.

Omikuji can be done all year round at temples, but it is especially popular during the new year!

3) Giant Beckoning Cat
