The Pokémon Company donated the Pokéfuta to Saga prefecture as part of its campaign to install Pokémon manhole covers in all of Japan’s prefectures, with these being the 253rd to be installed in now 25 prefectures.
The manhole covers, which are dubbed “Pokéfuta”, all feature Meowth and its different regional forms on hot-air balloons.
As part of the construction of the new Kusukaze Square redevelopment in Matsubara, Saga City, which opened on May 14, Pokémon and the Saga City Water and Sewerage Bureau unveiled new Pokémon manhole covers for the square – a first for the prefecture.
