Come and meet Shin-chan~ A leisurely half-day tour of Kasukabe

🌟 Highlights: Kasukabe City (かすかべし) is a city in the southern part of the Kanto region of Japan, in the eastern part of Saitama Prefecture. The Nohara family, including Shinnosuke from the manga 'Crayon Shin-chan', live in this city. In 2004, they were awarded the title of 'Honorary Residents' of Kasukabe City and became the city's image ambassadors. 🚉 Transportation guide: It takes only a few dozen minutes to reach Kasukabe City from Tokyo by subway. Generally, you can finish touring the Shin-chan elements by going around from the subway exit and then come back from the east exit. 🗓 Itinerary route: Kasukabe Station West Exit → Kasukabe City Hall → LaLa garden → Kasukabe Post Office → Sato Yōkadō → Kasukabe Station East Exit ✅ The arrival bell at Kasukabe Station is the 'I'm a Superstar' from 'Crayon Shin-chan', which is super fun haha. ⭐ From the station exit, there are many Shin-chan elements, and the west exit is also full of Shin-chan. On the way to the city hall, there is the Kasukabe post office where you can get a stamp. Inside the city hall, there is a special Shin-chan exhibition area where you can get a Shin-chan version of the Kasukabe walking map, including a Chinese version. ⭐ LaLa garden Kasukabe is at most a ten-minute walk from the city hall. It's a shopping mall with various food options, and on the third floor, there is a large shop selling Shin-chan merchandise. Inside, you can find items related to the Nohara family, such as Misae's palm print, Hiroshi's stinky feet, Shin-chan's butt, and many other things. It's also the place I think Shin-chan fans should definitely visit. 📝 Tips: From Tokyo to Kasukabe, the subway fare is only around six to seven hundred yen if you stay somewhere close. If you like Shin-chan, you might want to buy some souvenirs. However, if you're just there to check it off your list, it's not really necessary. Many guides say that Kasukabe is small and lacks Shin-chan elements, and it's not worth the visit. But I think if you really like Shin-chan and have a sense of nostalgia, a half-day trip is quite nice.
