Tatebayashi City tourism ambassador Pon-chan. Since Morinji, famous for its temple with a bunbuku chagama, is in the city, Pon-chan's body is inspired by a tea kettle, and azaleas, the city flower, adorn its head. Pon-chan promotes Tatebayashi City with the goal of becoming a charismatic tourism ambassador in the future.
