“Hon Tatsuno” Tatsuno, 2026
On today’s osanpo, I walked to Hon-Tatsuno Station just to get used to the route. And yes, I ran into my favorite duo again: Akatombo-kun and Akane-chan! ✨
For those who don’t know, the composer of the famous song Akatombo (Red Dragonfly) was from this area, so the city adopted the red dragonfly as its mascot. First came Akatombo-kun, then a few years later they added his girlfriend Akane-chan. I love them both!
Mariko and Bay think I’m weird for being so obsessed with the city mascots, but honestly? I think it’s fun!
