Chilling at "Kappa Town" while discovering local gourmet!

"Omukae (welcome) Kappa" is here to welcome visitors at the platform of JR Tanushimaru Station!

Tanushimaru Town of Kurume City is located in the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture. The largest river of Kyushu, Chikugo River flows through the town. The place is also known as Kappa town due to a "Kappa Legend" that exists in this area. Tanushimaru town is a popular tourist spot where you can find various Kappa statues laying around the town! Let's see how Indonesian influencers Stefi and Ayu spent their relaxing day in the "Kappa Town" on their last day of the trip!

* Kappa: A Japanese yokai that is said to live in water, typically rivers and ponds.

Firstly, they visited the Kappa-themed JR Tanushimaru Station buillding, hence it is also known as the "Kappa station"! Stefi and Ayu tried out some of the unique Kappa inspired menu at the cafe "KAPATERIA" located inside the "Kappa station"!

Adorable Kappa Curry puts a smile on your face!

Popular dessert from the KAPATERIA, "Kappa Macaron" is also a must-try!

Stefi Stefi: The Kappas here are so adorableee!! I'm currently living in Tokyo, so visiting a place like Tanushimaru, surrounded by rich nature, really helped me feel relaxed! Also, "Kappa Curry" was so good, I ate up everything quickly♪

Natural sunlight flooding into the cafe! The platform of JR Tanushimaru Station is just across the window!
