Tourism PR character Hacchioji. This character was created in 2014 after being selected from submissions gathered nationwide as part of a tourism PR caravan project. Mount Takao in Hachioji has connections with tengu through legends and many stories, so the character is modeled on a tengu. Hacchioji works hard to promote Hachioji, including appearing on television.
