A New Kind of “Tricky” Tanuki

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.
