If you come to Wakura Hot Spring with kids, or you are an adult who enjoys Japan’s cute mascots, then Wakatama-kun, Wakura’s onsen egg mascot is waiting for you everywhere: at the station, in Yuttari Park, at the public onsen, and even by the roadside. Have a walk around and see how many of them you can find. Wakatama-kun likes to be photographed, and he has his own blog: http://blog.livedoor.jp/wakuraonsen/
