As a fan of GeGeGe no Kitaro, a visit to the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, is a must. The museum is dedicated to the life and works of Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of Kitaro. It showcases original drawings, collections of spirits and yokai from around the world, including masks, decorations, and large murals. However, the main attraction is Kitaro himself. From FRP decorations, manga manuscripts, to murals, familiar characters like Medama Oyaji, Nezumi Otoko, and Neko Musume bring back childhood memories, making it a delightful photo opportunity. Advance tickets are ¥900, and same-day tickets are ¥1000. Besides the exhibitions, there is also a shop where fans can buy a wide range of Kitaro merchandise. It's truly a worthwhile visit.

#itineraryshare The manga #Getaro was born in 1959, and was created by "#水木Shiger", known as Dr. Yokai. Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, is the city where Mizuki Shigeru was born. It is best to plan your itinerary for two to three days. Sakaiminato is a seaside city in the west of Tottori Prefecture. If you can get there from #Yonago Kitaro Airport, it is the most convenient way. I arrived at #Okayama Momotaro Airport, and the entire trip will depart from Okayama. Transportation guide: From JR Okayama Station, take the limited express train #Izumo (not the dormitory Hinode Izumo) and get off at JR Yonago Station. Then transfer to the JR Sakai Line Kitaro train and get off at JR Sakaiminato. The whole journey takes about 2.5 to 3 times. Hour. The most important thing to do when arriving in Yonago City is to transfer to the Kitaro train. There are currently six types of Kitaro trains (Getaro train, Eyeball Dad train, Mouse Man train, Catwoman train, Sasha Granny train, and Ziwei Grandpa train). In addition to trains You can find Kitaro and his companions on the exterior, ceiling and seats inside the car. The terminal station is Sakaiminato Station (also known as Kitaro Station). From Sakaiminato Station, you will reach the world of monsters. The most important main road in this town is " #水木毛道", there are many bronze statues of monsters, big and small, that appear in the original work. In addition, monsters are hidden in major stores, stations, police stations or park street lights. Main attractions: Mizuki Shigeru Avenue, Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall, Yokai Paradise, Yokai Tea House, etc. Yokai will appear on the streets during holidays or national holidays. The most popular ones are of course Kitaro and Catwoman. No one wants to take pictures with Rat Man. .... Although Sakaiminato is located in a remote area, it is admirable to fully develop tourism. You can buy a variety of limited-edition products and delicacies on Mizuki Shigeru Avenue. Cafes and restaurants will also make food in the shape of monsters. For example, the dessert of Eyeball Daddy is sweet red bean paste and confectionery, which is very interesting. I recommend you to take a trip to Kitaro "ゲッゲッゲゲゲのゲー".

It is a museum that also teaches about Mizuki Shigeru's upbringing. The origins of Gegege no Kitaro and the many words that Mizuki Shigeru has said are clearly displayed, so I think it is a museum that even small children can visit. *Information as of August 2024. #FuriTabi
