The Ultimate Guide to Tokyo’s Vintage Fashion Districts

"Just steps from the South Exit of Koenji station, this is the go-to spot for prayers for good weather; visitors typically write their wishes on small wooden tablets called ema, and here they’re especially unique—shaped like geta, traditional wooden sandals—a design inspired by a children’s game where sandals are tossed to predict the next day’s weather." - Louise George Kittaka
