Gegege no Kitaro is a character created by Shigeru Mizuki and can be seen everywhere in the port town of Sakaiminato. In fact this Japanese animation and its creator have made this small port town a major tourist attraction and has keep this small area abuzz with business and industry for the local community. If you visit Sakaiminato Town you can get their on a specially designed local train, or fly into Yonago City airport (now renamed Yonago Kitaro Airport) or sail in on a ship dedicated to the characters. Whichever way you decide to get there you will spend a great time walking up and down Mizuki Shigero Road, join in on the stamp hunt, and eat a huge selection of character inspired sweets.

The local taxi companies love Gegege no Kitaro too.

Along Mizuki Shigeru Road are marble statues of all his characters.
