Omote-sando is main street which leads to temple. One of most famous area of tokyo "Omote Sando" is known as fashion hot spot, but it is originally a street to Meiji Jingu, the big temple.
The shops on this topic is Omote-sando of Narita-san which I have introduced in past topic as a hatsumoude spot. This spot is 10 min from Narita International Airport by train. Why don't you visit before you leave Japan?
A lot of figurine of cows. What are those? In Japan, 12 animals are asigned to the years. And animal symbol are change every year by rotation. This is called "Eto".
This is complete list of Eto.
2009 is year of cow. 2008 was year of mouse. Next year is year of tiger.So, this is why there is a lot of cows are in the shop this year.
If you have Japanese friend, ask what his or her "Eto" animal symbole is. Most of Japanese know their own "Eto" animal symbole of their birth year.
