I was told by a local that the reason Slowpoke is their official mascot is because it’s Japanese name “Yadon” sounds kind of like “Udon” which is what this part of Japan is famous for. The postbox was a particular highlight, not the greatest choice of mascot for a postal service though lol
Had to cop the exclusive Slowpoke t-shirt at the airport too!
Bonus pictures of the famous udon, 10/10 delicious, and the Diglett doughnut just because it’s incredible.
