1. Omamori
Omamori is a special type of amulets or good luck charms originating from Japan. They are commonly sold at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. These amulets are made from paper or wood contained within a small bag, and they usually include prayer, invocation or some kind of religious inscription. You probably think that you can find it online as well, but there is a special charm of buying it in Japan since the priests perform a special ritual to make them sacred and connected to you personally. I believe that this one definitely deserves a number one spot on our list of 16 cool things you can only buy in Japan.
