Today I found a very interesting, kind of mysterious place for me. It is an approach to Ishikiri Shrine in Higashi-Osaka.
Ishikiri Shrine is located on the mountainside of Mt. Ikoma and it is famous as a shrine of blotch.
Each side of the steep approach to Ishikiri Shrine is lined with many shops and restaurants.
In particular, there are countless number of fortune-telling services. I don't know why there are so many fortune-telling places, but it shows so many people come here to know something about their future. There are various kinds of fortune-telling, including astrology, blood-types, palm reading, telling a person's fortune on the basis of his or her name.I like the nostalgic atmosphere full of energy.
Unluckily, I couldn't see "Ishikirin" which is a very cute mascot of the place. I'm sure it was too hot for Ishikirin to walk around today.
It's very famous that in Nara, the east part of Mt. Ikoma, wild deers live freely.
