The Manyo Line tram station at Takaoka has an interesting structure which excites all visitors. A bronze statue of Doraemon which is a post box. It is a large structure, almost the height of an average person. All letters dropped at this post box are marked with a Doraemon stamp. A wonderful souvenir. The futuristic blue robot cat and its creator have been impressively been honored in Takaoka city and this statue represents the same.

The character of Doraemon was created by Fujiko F. Fujio who hailed from Taksoka City in Japan. One of the highly popular Japanese Manga series characters across the world. In honour of the creator, Doraemon and his friends are depicted as statues right on front of the Takaoka station across the main road in front of the shopping mall. The statues are created to perfection and a very popular photography spot for locals as well as visitors. The statues are metal works. One can also see a large bronze statue of Doraemon in the Manyo tram line (Manyosen) Takaoka station waiting area. It is surprisingly a large post box. Fans of Doraemon consider it a pilgrimage to Takaoka. Definitely enjoyable.
