I'm Minowan, the wonderful PR chief of Minobu Town, Yamanashi Prefecture. My charming features are the Minobu manjū on my ears, Mount Fuji reflected upside down from Lake Motosu on my scarf, and a branch of Akebono soybeans on my tail! This is my first time participating! I'll do my best to promote Minobu Town, wan!
