Anime location
Kasukabe City Hall (the Shin-chan statues)
Bronze statues of Shin-chan and Himawari in manga-accurate clothing, inside a working city hall.
Kasukabe City Hall holds bronze monuments of Shin-chan and his sister, dressed as they are drawn in the manga rather than in a generic pose. One stands in the entrance hall with the dog Shiro, and there is a further monument in the plaza outside.
Why it is worth it
The town is named outright in the series and behaves accordingly. This is the town's own monument, not a merchandising installation.
When to go
Quiet.
Good to know
It is a functioning local government building — go during weekday office hours, be brief, and do not obstruct people conducting business. The tourist information centre and the station displays are both nearby and open more widely.
Crayon Shin-chan
The city's own bronze statues, in manga-accurate clothing.
