Hiko-nyan is so cute!

In Shiaga prefecture, which is neighbor hood of Kyoto,  there are some castles. One of them has a very cute mascot character named Hiko-nyan(ひこにゃん). Yeah, it's cute. 


That photo is a box of Manju called a sweet bean dumpling in English. On the bottom right, he is sitting. Well, cute. 


When you open the box, you will see it running (or jumping? I'm not sure). Yes, it's so spirited.

I didn't show, in this post, how the castle is like. I wrote about just Hiko-nyan. Because it's more popular than the castle itself these days...

Yeah, it's strange.

Hikone-jo Castle(彦根城, ひこねじょう) is also very nice. In the castle Hikonyan is dancing and spreading good cheer.

If you go there, please enjoy both, the castle and Hiko-nyan!!
