Kumamon is the mascot of Kumamoto and cutely named as such the Prefecture’s Sales and Happiness Manager. You can find him all across Kumamoto, pointing out some of its best attractions. He’s so popular that Kumamon related merchandise is said to be reaching a cumulative total of 1 trillion yen. At this spot you’ll find the office of this amazing mascot, and if you time it just right, you might even get a chance to meet him.
The majority of floor space is taken up by Kumamon’s managerial meet and greet space. There’s even a stage in the corner where Kumamon performs at 3:00pm on weekdays or 11:30am and 3:00pm on weekends and holidays.
The door in the back leads to Kumamon’s office, where he does his work. Inside you’ll find a desk, some photos and various accolades like trophies and commemorative panels. When Kumamon’s out you can jump into his chair for a snapshot.
In the merchandise corner you’ll find limited, all-original items and special items made in collaboration with other brands. In the sanck corner you can even try some tasty treats like softserve ice cream made with Kumamoto Prefecture dairy or a Kumamon Late made with a special latte art of his face.
