Japanese mascots - Kasabo

There are so many kawaii mascots in Japan! My favorites are the mascots of the tourist attractions (especially from the high-rise buildings), who can often be found wandering around, always ready to play with the children and to take pictures with the tourists, because the Japanese people love to be photographed with mascots (as I also do).

Today I want to introduce you to Kasabō 「かさぼう」, the mascot of the Kasamatsu Park from Amanohashidate. With his head inspired by a conifer cone, he impressed me by doing a lot of cheerful kawaii gestures, even if outside it was really, really hot...
