Over the past 10 years, various prefectural and town governments in Japan have poured insane amounts of taxpayer money into mascot programs to promote themselves. And now, for some reason, the national government is stepping in and firing these lovable characters!

Yoro Park is in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It opened in 1995 and was created to be an experience park with the theme of experiencing the unexpected. I went here with a High School friend, Hiroyuki. He took me to some interesting places around Nagoya, but they werent quite interesting enough (at least not for TofuguTV, yo). So, we went to Yoro Park, to go experience the unexpected. Enjoy!
