[Japan 🇯🇵] Step into a Spooky-Cute World: Exploring Tottori's Kitaro Street!

🌟Trips:

🌟 Watch the cartoon before you go!! It is a very vintage one (basically all mid aged Japanese would know)

🌟 Parking is available there, its just 10 minutes to fresh fish market in the town

🛣️ Mizuki Shigeru Road, affectionately known as Kitaro Street, in Sakaiminato, Tottori, is an absolute blast! Dedicated to the legendary manga artist Shigeru Mizuki and his beloved 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' series, this street is a whimsical wonderland for fans and curious travelers alike.🤫🤫

From the moment you step off the train🚊, you're immersed in a world of yokai (Japanese spirits and monsters). Over 150 bronze statues of Kitaro, Nezumi Otoko, Neko Musume, and countless other fascinating creatures line the street✨, each with its own unique charm. It's like a spooky scavenger hunt trying to spot them all! Beyond the statues, you'll find charming shops selling yokai-themed souvenirs, delicious local snacks, and even a post office🏣 where the mailboxes are shaped like the characters. There's also the Mizuki Shigeru Museum nearby for a deeper dive. It's a truly unique and playful experience that brings Japanese folklore to life in the most endearing way. Don't miss it!
