I live in the Kappa Pool in Jozankei, and I was granted special citizenship by the mayor of Sapporo Minami District in 2012. I was given the role of Jozankei Hot Springs mascot by the Jozankei Tourism Association, and crossed the Tsugaru Strait for the first time to visit Tokyo. I\u2019m doing my best with my friends and the King Kappa to encourage lots of people to come and enjoy Jozankei Hot Springs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meaning behind the name \u201cKappon\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n

His full name is \u201cJozankei Kappa Kokichibei\u201d. One day, he was playing with his friends on the banks of the Toyohira River with a bucket that had floated downstream, and shouting out \u201ckappon!\u201d he squeezed himself into the bucket and couldn\u2019t get back out. From that day, everyone called him \u2018Kappon\u2019! Kappon loves hot springs and always brings his own towel and bucket with him, because he thinks it\u2019s convenient to bring them to the hot springs himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Kappon\u2019, the Jozankei mascot since Summer 2012 created the Official Kappon Goods in Winter 2012 after receiving many requests. First came the Kappon clear file range with beautiful scenes of Kappon enjoying each of the four seasons of Jozankei. We released more than ten new varieties of Official Kappon Goods, including the popular Kappon towel products. In 2013, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Official Kappon Goods, we created and released the most highly requested item for sale, the Kappon Soft Toy. We look forward to receiving more requests from you! Official Kappon Goods are regional products, similar to the popular Jozankei Onion Soup, and can be found for sale in various hotels and ryokan in Jozankei and Koganeyu, the Jozankei Specialty Goods Store, and the Jozankei Tourist Information Center. Along with the Official Goods, there are also other products such as Kappon Senbei and Kappon cotton swabs available at these stores. If you come to Jozankei, don\u2019t forget to take a look at the range of cute Kappon goods available!<\/p>\n\n\n
