Washinomiya Shrine

While many Japanese spent new years day at home, many otaku flocked to Washinomiya Shrine which has become a haven for Lucky Star fans.
Akibahobby has more pics taken today of the Lucky Star festivities that went on today and shows us the limited edition Nendoroid Puchi - the girls in orange Miko gear.

One cant buy the whole set and need to pay 500 yen to play Omikuji - a Japanese tradition where one sticks their hand in a box and grabs (in this case) a ball that contains the Nendoroid.

Akibahobby writes about how he first ended up with 3 Konata's in his first 4 tries ^^;
They also had Itachari, Lucky Star newspapers and choco cones.
