The Ceramic Tanuki Statues of Shigaraki, Shiga Pref. & Ekiben Train Bento (2x6)

Exibido em:: Mar 20, 2017

Our reporter visits Shigaraki in Shiga Prefecture, where he is greeted by hundreds of ceramic tanuki statues when he gets off the train. Walking around town, it is hard to miss these lucky charms that are placed in front of homes and shops, and line the streets. Daniel visits potteries, paints his own tanuki, soaks in a tanuki onsen bath, and eats tanuki udon. Also, we share viewer information about delicious ekiben, or train bento, from around the country, and talk with our correspondent. Reporter: Daniel Donny-Clark
