Japan is filled to the brim with Pokémon tourist spots. From Pokémon ambassadors in towns to Pokémon theme parks and cafes, you don’t have to go hard to find a place that’ll tickle your pocket monster fancy. Now you can add one more location to the list, but this might be one of the most unique Pokémon collabs yet.
The Wakura Footbath in Japan’s Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture has gotten a massive makeover and now it’s filled to the brim with Pokémon installations. Not only can you find Pokémon decorations all throughout the location, you can even stop in and have your tootsies cleaned by a variety of Pokémon.
The footbath at Wakura now has special fountain statues in the form of Gyarados, Poliwag, Politoed, Quaxly, Vaporeon, Psyduck, and Pikachu. Might it feel a bit odd getting a Pokémon to basically puke water onto your feet to wash them? Well sure, but footbaths are a notable part of Japanese culture, and I think we can all agree it’s way more fun to enjoy a rinsing accompanied by Pokémon than without!
