Here are more fun hole covers to be installed all throughout Japan!
The Pokemon Company, in collaboration with the Japanese government, is set to install more manhole covers as part of their Pokemon Local Arts. This project is an initiative that was started in 2020 by the company to boost tourism across the country.
Pokemon manhole covers are not a new addition in the country. There have been various covers in other regions in Japan that feature that specific area’s Pokemon ambassador.
The new set will be installed in the Fukushima prefecture in December 2022, featuring the region’s mascot Chansey. The pokemon will be accompanied by Swirlix, Rillaboom, Vanillish, Grotle, Swanna, Lilligant, Wooper, Talonflame, Blissey, and Roserade!
