Mascot Characters in Front of Kita-senju Station

This statue exists at the entrance of shopping street “Kita Road 1010.” 1010 is a kind of pun on the name of the town “Kita-senju.” The number can be read “Sen-ju” in Japanese.

 

The dog in police uniform is called “Wansa-kun.” The red one is called “Juju.”

 

Information on web says that the shopping street holds a festival “Wansa-kun Matsuri” in March. But it was postponed this year due to the earthquake.
