All Reviews of Mizuki Shigeru Road

While traveling in Sakaiminato, Tottori, I made a special pilgrimage to Mizuki Shigeru Road, an absolute must for manga fans! The moment I stepped onto this fantastical street, I felt like I had fallen straight into the yokai world created by Shigeru Mizuki. The many bronze yokai statues lining both sides of the street are incredible. From Kitaro and Medama-Oyaji to Nezumi-Otoko, every character is so vivid and detailed that I couldn't stop taking pictures along the way.

Besides searching for all the hidden yokai sculptures, the souvenir shops lining the street are also a lot of fun to browse. They're packed with all kinds of exclusive Kitaro merchandise and character-shaped treats, all so cute that you'll want to take one of everything home. The street has a very relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, and even the creatively designed streetlights and mailboxes are full of surprises. I highly recommend adding Mizuki Shigeru Road to your itinerary when visiting the San'in region. Both adults and kids can have a great time here!

The street is packed with Kitaro elements, along with all kinds of cookies and souvenirs to choose from. We also happened to run into the Yamada mascot.

Mizuki Shigeru Road at night feels even more ghostly~~~~ The colors are intentionally eerie, but it’s actually a lot of fun!

People who scare easily might really get startled! The creative lighting along the street kept making us smile, and we were constantly wondering what fun thing would appear next. If you happen to be staying near the station, come take a walk at night and experience it for yourself!

I seriously absolutely love this street.

I kept taking pictures the whole way. I originally wasn’t planning to stay that long, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. It was so awesome.

There are so many works here? I guess that’s how I should put it?

This is where I have to talk about the iPhone for a second.

The new feature lets you cut things out and turn them into stickers.

It works especially well with these.

Hahahaha I seriously love it.

And it has so much attitude, don’t you think?

There are sarcastic ones,

slapping ones,

funny goofy ones,

and tons of stunned-looking ones.

I could even use these pictures to tell stories hahaha.

I’m actually not very good with punctuation.

I’m not really sure how to split things into sentences and paragraphs.

You can spot yokai everywhere along the street—it’s become a symbol of the area. Many shops also sell yokai-themed goods.
