Mascot

Okome-chan, the village's mascot

Shinshinotsu's mascot is Okome-chan (おこめちゃん) who is a snowball. It wears a hat that resembles the observatory on Shinotsu Park. Its lips are pink as a result of the side effects of drinking doburoku sake. It cannot drink this sake without rice and side dishes. When people look at it, it reminds them of a rice bowl. Its charm point is its eyes and people can move its eyebrows. Its birthday is August 8. Its goal is to have a depiction of itself on the village's welcome sign.[5]
