A New Kind of “Tricky” Tanuki
The Tanuki of Japanese folklore are known for being a loveable trickster. But the kind of tricks that Pon pulls off are more of the BMX variety. Explore the world of Tanuki: Pon’s Summer on Pon’s trusty BMX, grinding on rails and flipping from rooftop to rooftop. Discover a bevy of secrets, sidequests, and activities.

Cozy Summertime Fun
When not busy with his job at the local post office, take Pon out on the town and participate in a variety of games and activities. Play baseball, fish, sumo wrestle, catch bugs, make sushi, watch some birds, and many (many) more! There’s a whole world of possibilities in the world of Tanuki.
Restore the Great Tanuki Shrine
Every 50 years, the sacred Shrine Guardian is tasked with preparing the Tanuki Shrine for the Great Tanuki festival. Unfortunately, the Shrine Guardian is nowhere to be found. It’s up to you to step into Pon’s paws and rebuild! Do you have what it takes to take your place among the greats and honor the Three Legendary Tanuki Kami?
