Sanuki City - Kagawa Part4

 I enjoyed a little sightseeing in Takamatsu City. I went to Tamamo Park, a short walk from the ferry terminal. Here you can see Takamatsu Castle, also known as Tamamo Castle.

Shiroishi City - Miyagi Part3

 Saying goodbye to the big city of Sendai once, I headed for Shiroishi City.


The Shiroishi's pokefuta is located at Shiroishi Castle, about a 20-30 minute walk from Shiroishi Zao Station.
After a short walk up stone steps, I saw the castle.
Great views and panoramic views over the city of Shiroishi.

Due to renovation work, the pokefuta was not in its original location, but was displayed in the reference library.

I didn't know about a Pokémon called Nickit since I stopped playing Pokemon series at Sapphire, but I guess it's inspired by the fox Village in Shiroishi.

Blue soumen noodles with a Laplace motif were sold at the souvenir shop attached to the reference library.


I decided to go sightseeing in Kitsune Village.
It takes about 30 minutes by taxi from Shiraishi Castle and costs about 4300 yen.
The bus only runs on weekends.

I watched REAL Nickit!

I could not make it to the petting zoo in time for the 11:00 a.m. petting time, and the feeding experience did not seem to be available at this time, so I was unable to touch the animals.
It was a little bit unsatisfying, but the scene of them fighting was interesting.

If you go to the Fox Village, it is advisable to wear a good performance mask because of the strong smell.


After the fox village,  I returned to Sendai, stopping along the way on the local train (Tohoku-honsen Line).

Oogawara-town

Pokefuta is located by the Shiraishi River, about 10 minutes walk from the station.
I heard that cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring here, so the Cherrim is a motif.

Iwanuma-city

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from Iwanuma Station to the pokefuta.
I found a taiyaki (fish-shaped pancakes) shop on the way.

I stopped by to fill my stomach.
An old man was baking taiyaki all by himself.
I had to wait for a while for the food to be ready, but I could forgive him for being such a cute old man!

Anko (red bean paste) is delicious...(´∀`*)

Walking further, I found a poke lid on an ordinary, nondescript street😛

Togepiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(。>ω<。)
cute...!

I took lots of pictures as people and cars walked by!


After this, I went back to Sendai, shopped for souvenirs, ate beef tongue, and returned to Tokyo.

This one from a sasakama (Food made by steaming and hardening ground fish) shop in Minamisanriku-town was delicious💕


It will be a long road to complete the pokefutas of Miyagi, Fukushima, and Iwate...

Takamatsu City - Kagawa Part1

 In October, I went to Kagawa Prefecture, famous for its udon noodles. It was my first time here, but it was conveniently close to Takamatsu Airport and the city center. I found Slowpoke bus!

Shodoshima, Tonosho Town - Kagawa Part2

One night after landing in Shikoku for the first time, this day, I was going to Shodoshima. Shodoshima is an island in the Seto Inland Sea, famous for its olive groves.

Matsushima town - Miyagi Part1

 October is the beginning of autumn. I had been planning to go on a trip to Miyagi Prefecture for some time.  Miyagi prefecture's ambassadorial Pokémon is Lapras. Each city, town or village can negotiate on its own to locate its own pokefuta. However, if the prefecture sets a ambassadorial Pokémon, pokefutas with that Pokémon on them will be placed throughout the municipalities under the prefecture. It is very hard to complete everything, but It will be challenging.
