境港 City is the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of the popular "GeGeGe no Kitaro." Here, the JR Sakai Line features trains wrapped with characters from GeGeGe no Kitaro, and stations have nicknames based on the yokai (spirits) from the series. The city actively uses GeGeGe no Kitaro to attract visitors.
Sakaiminato Station is affectionately known as Kitaro Station. Inside the station, near the ticket gates, you'll find benches designed with Kitaro, Nezumi Otoko (Rat Man), and Neko Musume (Cat Girl).
