When it comes to getting out of the singles club, fortune-telling is definitely one of the first things people think of. Among the most famous spots is Xiahai City God Temple in Dadaocheng, Taipei, known for its highly effective prayers for love, attracting many devoted visitors. A business even launched the DdC Da-Dao Chen vending machine’s “Moon God Milk Tea,” limited to 100 bottles per day, offered in two flavors: half-sugar for those in love and three-quarter-sugar for those with unrequited love. Each bottle also hides a romantic quote for divination after drinking.

This “Shrine of Omamori” vending machine is an extremely lifelike imitation of Japanese shrine architecture, with a super-luxurious exterior and bright red Japanese lanterns hanging overhead. It features drinks alongside the chance to draw fortunes labeled small blessing, medium blessing, or big blessing, as well as love omamori, academic omamori, and health omamori. It lets you quench your thirst while testing your luck—just insert a coin, and find out if you’re destined to find your Mr. or Ms. Right this year.
▲ Fresh juice flavors like “First Love, That Little Thing,” “Okinawa Black Sugar,” and “Passionate Chocolate,” priced between approximately NT$50 and NT$65.
▲ Dropping a love omamori will definitely bring you good luck. Probably.sparrow0806(Authorized, no random photography, to avoid copyright infringement.)
