Nagano Prefecture PR Character Arukuma

[Machine Translation] The character is a popular representative of Nagano, with plush toys placed at tourist attractions throughout the prefecture and appearing in pamphlets. The Nagano PR character "Arkuma" is now available as a miniature figure. A rare bear that appears only in Shinshu, it always wears a headdress because it is cold even though it is a bear. Despite being a bear, he loves to travel and always carries a backpack on his back. He walks around Shinshu without being a bear, and he is walking around the country as a mini figure in order to spread the charm of Shinshu to the world. The figure is a faithful reproduction of the "Arkuma" costume, with an "apple", a specialty of Shinshu, on his head.
