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/

Wakura's onsen egg mascot

Community writer

I am waiting for kids and the young-at-heart who like mascots

Wakatama-kun has fun in Yuttari Park

Do you want to join me on this bench?

You can find me everywhere in Wakura Onsen, even by the public hot spring

There are so many of me in Yuttari Park, and we are all very photogenic

Here I am, right by the station welcoming guests to Wakura Onsen
