This seemingly ordinary wall actually holds a little secret. Once you find the mysterious box on the wall, open it, drop in 999 yen, and knock twice lightly on the wall, a fortune card will appear. The process from inserting the coins to knocking on the wall feels like performing a tiny secret ritual in the city, making you wonder what message you’ll receive.
More than predicting fortunes, it unlocks unexpected travel experiences

Unlike typical fortune-telling, “KABE URANAI” doesn’t just tell you what might happen in the future; it acts more like a city exploration guide filled with surprises. A fortune card might recommend visiting a spot you’ve never been to, tasting local food specialties, stepping into a hidden restaurant tucked away in an alley, or even setting up an experience that wasn’t originally on your itinerary. The project hopes to use this fun method to encourage people to step out of their familiar routines and rediscover the wonderful corners of the city that are easily overlooked.

“KABE URANAI” debuted first in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. It plans to head to Ikebukuro in November 2026, expand to Nagoya in December, and reach Osaka in 2027, with plans to appear in even more Japanese cities. For travelers who love exploring small shops and searching for hidden spots, this is a fresh experience worth trying on your trip. Next time you’re walking the streets of Japan, keep an eye on the walls around you—your next unexpected journey might just start with a tiny fortune card!
