The statue pictured above is one of 12 in Tanuki Street, very close to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asakusa.

"Mr. Kawaguchi, the director of the Tourist Information Center, shared a unique sightseeing spot: “this is not very well known, but there used to be tanuki (raccoon dogs) in Asakusa. There is a street called ‘Tanuki Dori’ a little west of Nakamise street, which is lined with 12 tanuki statues. Each tanuki statue is said to bring luck respectively such as money, love, marital relationships or etc."

There are many other tanuki around the area as well.

Sunshine 60 in Ikebukuro is infamous for being haunted. Formerly the site of a prison some people think it is cursed and filled with ghosts.

True or not, it does have adorable cat-ghosts hanging around Namja Town, a food amusement park with a haunted spooky section. They also have a yo-kai watch tie in activity. Most adorable haunted house I have ever seen.
