<\/p>\nThe breaking news from Noboribetsu Onsen in Hokkaido is that the Takimaru-kun plush toy has arrived! Come see this wonderful new Dai-ichi Takimotokan souvenir. <\/p>\n
One of the prizes in our UFO Catcher game in the arcade area in the main building is a plush toy of our very own Takimaru-kun.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the years, many people have asked if it is possible to get a larger version to take home as a souvenir or gift. We thought this was a great idea, and finally it is a reality!<\/p>\n
On May 28, Dai-ichi Takimotokan began selling a larger size plush toy in our gift shop, Yunomachi. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Please note, though, that the mini-Takimaru-kun is still only available as a prize in the UFO catcher game. <\/p>\n

The new plush toy is about 40cm tall, 25cm wide, making it larger than the UFO catcher prize. A staff member is holding the UFO catcher prize version on the right size to help show the difference. The new plush toy is 2,916 yen including tax.<\/p>\n
We think this new toy is a great way to commemorate your stay or to give as a souvenir for your children or grandchildren. We look forward to introducing you to it when you visit us in Hokkaido and Yunomachi!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
