A small but quirky photo stop: Pokémon-themed manhole covers featuring Alola Exeggcute? (阿羅拉六尾) and Mandibuzz? (瑪狃拉) in Abashiri. Shoot tight, level close-ups to capture the embossed characters, surrounding pavement texture, and any winter snow contrast. Best in clear daylight when the relief catches highlights; it’s a quick roadside walk with no entry fees.
