I went to the Oasis Poppokan in Shimotsuke City Tourist Information Center, which is right outside Koganei Station in Tochigi Prefecture! It's collaborating with the anime Sakura no Chikai, and there were lots of autographs and merchandise on display! They also had related merchandise for sale. It also still functions as a tourist information center, offering bicycle rentals and free materials! #freespot

Shimotsuke Hoshimiya Shrine 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 In the second year of the Daido era (807), Asukai Gyobukyo, a descendant of Fujiwara no Kamatari no Kunitada, lived here as a pioneer, and called the area Miyauchi in the dry area of ​​Koyama-no-go, where he enshrined Iwasaki-no-kami and Nesaki-no-kami. A "golden mole" was discovered at this shrine in the past. In the precincts, there is a "Asunaro Dragon God Pillar" based on an ancient Japanese myth in which a mole wishes to become a dragon and fly in the sky.
