For children, height is very important

Toys for sale at an omiyage (souvenir) shop on a small road leading up to Fushimi Inari Taisha. Omiyage shops often put these toys outside at kid level. Rarely do the toys have any relation to the local tourist attraction unlike the towels, pens, key chains, and other local goods that are on sale. These toys are merely to draw in the kids and hence their parents to the shop.

The expensive snack food is always at the middle and always lots of red... too! the better food is either up high or down really low... They want to grab you.
