Step into the World of GeGeGe no Kitaro in Tottori 👻✨

#cityplaybook

Tottori Prefecture is home to a one-of-a-kind destination for fans of GeGeGe no Kitaro, the beloved manga series by Shigeru Mizuki. This trip is all about quirky fun, childhood nostalgia, and celebrating Japanese folklore.

🛬 Yonago Kitaro Airport
Yes, the airport itself is themed after Kitaro! From the welcome signage to the decor, the spirit of the series starts right as you land.

🚶♀️ Mizuki Shigeru Road
This charming shopping street in Sakaiminato features over 150 bronze statues of yokai (spirits) from the manga. It’s fun to spot your favorites and learn about Japan’s mythical creatures.

🪨 Tairyo Ichiba Nakaura
A seafood market with a twist—don’t miss the giant stone statue of Kitaro! It’s a perfect photo op after indulging in local fresh seafood.

Why I recommend this area:
・A fun, family-friendly destination packed with unique characters and stories
・A great way to dive into Japanese pop culture and folklore

📍Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture
