The only station in the world with unique monsters

“Gegege no Kitaro” is an animation work that deals with Shigeru Mizuki’s original youkai. Gegege no Kitaro is a popular anime not only in Japan but all over the world.

Do you know Gegege no Kitaro? (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎)

Youkai means unique monsters handed down from ancient times in Japan.

Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture is the town where Shigeru Mizuki spent his childhood.

For that reason, there are many youkai in the town of Sakaiminato.

There are many youkai at Sakaiminato Station and on the station square. Youkai are also drawn on the train.

There are youkai in the train !

There are also youkai on the sheets and ceiling!

Every year at Shigeru Mizuki’s birth festival, held in Sakaiminato in March, a lively Japanese drum performance and dances are performed, and it is full of many tourists.

Why don’t you dance with youkai?LOL

At night, youkai appear on the ground of Yokai Street in front of Sakaiminato Station. Both children and adults will be very pleasant and unforgettable memories.

Youkai love delicious food. That’s why Sakaiminato has a lot of delicious food. A particularly delicious food is crabs landed at Sakaiminato Fishing Port. It is a very sweet crab with a rich crab flavor.

Do you want to eat delicious crabs?

The answer is simple. To go to Sakaiminato.

This is a baked NODOGURO.

NODOGURO is a very fatty and delicious fish. Youkai also love NODOGURO. The fresh squid sashimi is also very delicious. Fresh squid sashimi is a wonderful texture you have never eaten before. If you travel to Sakaiminato city, Tottori prefecture, please eat NOGOGURO.

I think it will surely be an unforgettable taste.

Thank you for watching my topic. Regard

見た目にも楽しい電車と駅ですね。境港駅がそんな風になっているとは知りませんでした。マップ上で見ると駅の中や周辺のポストまで鬼太郎だらけなんですね。

ご紹介いただきありがとうとざいます:-)

@955HIRO First of all, the tagging doesn’t work, I just came and saw this post by myself.

Wow, this station is cute. I haven’t been to Tottori yet but I would love to visit it someday.

The crab and baked NODOGURO look really delicious. Are they expensive?

Thank you for your comment. First of all, I was sorry that tagging did not work well. I just fixed your tagging. Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture has a fishing port and has a lot of seafood-rich and delicious food. You can also enjoy contact with YOUKAI. There is also Izumo Taisha Shrine in about an hour by car, and you can feel the power from ancient times with your body. Delicious food, YOUKAI, power from the gods, I think it will be a very enjoyable trip. The photo shows a large diaper rope from Izumo Taisha. Thank you, Regard

@955HIRO After you fixed the tagging, I got the email notification. :slightly_smiling_face:

OK, I see. So, did you take a train to Tottori or drive a car?

The rope is really big and it looks so strong. I’m sure one day I will visit beautiful Tottori.

I was relieved to be able to tag you.

Yonago Airport Station is about a 5minute walk from Yonago Kitaro Airport. YOKAI is also on the ceiling of the arrival lobby at Yonago Airport. It takes 4 stops from Yonago Airport Station to Sakaiminato Station, about 30 minutes. YOUKAI talks about announcements in the train.

I will travel to Tottori next month. I will go to the annual YOUKAI festival.

Spectacular post @955HIRO . Thank you for sharing it with us.

As an animator myself and a big manga fan I was so excited to read your post. I absolutely love Gegege no Kitaro (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎) and Dr. Slump (Dr.スランプ). Another gem in my wish list is now Sakaiminato Station as well among many others in Japan.

One more thing that captivated me is the delicious food especially the fresh crab meat one can enjoy by visiting the Maruhachi Suisan shop.

Keep it up. :]

You are an animator. I highly recommend you to travel around Sakaiminato. Many of the cosplayers participate in Shigeru Mizuki’s birthday festival held in Sakaiminato every March. There is also an event where MASAKO NOZAWA, the voice actor of SONGOKU, also participates. If you like anime, it’s an event without any doubt. Of course I will also participate. I can’t wait for the event right now. Thank you very much. Regard

@955HIRO OK, I see. There are flights from Bangkok to Yonago as well.

Last time we talked about Hong Kong and that time the protest was going on. This time, Coronavirus, I hope the situation will be better soon.

Hahaha, the shoes are kinda cute on you. :slightly_smiling_face:

First of all, thank you for praising my giraffe print shoes.lol

It is a very favorite shoe. When we talked about Hong Kong and this time about Tottori, the world has various problems. The world is changing at a totally unpredictable rate. In Japan, coronavirus is reported in daily news. I am worried about Tokyo Olympics, which will be held from late July.

Thank you very much.Regard

Hello. It is a great honor to praise my topic. Thank you very much. Sakaiminato Station is a station that collaborated with anime that is rarely seen in the world. The whole town of Sakaiminato City is decorated with the character of Gegege Kitaro, not just the station. Walking around the town of Sakaiminato makes you feel as if you were in the anime world. For those who like anime, there is no more fun than ever. Thank you very much. Regard
