About This Item

Meet Murao! he is the mascot of Hakuba ski village - Nagano, Japan.

He travelled back to Australia with us and now wants to travel some more!

 

if you're wondering what the heck he is, well here you go;

Hakuba’s character, Victoire Cheval Blanc Murao 3rd, was born in September 2012. He was designed in a competition by a local eight-year-old and is a white horse reflecting the well-known Chinese characters in Hakuba’s name. His name was the winner in a further competition. The first part is “Victory White Horse” in French, “Murao” is a Japanese name that means “village boy”, and the “3rd” is, well we don’t really know! Maybe it’s a takeoff from the popular Japanese anime “Lupin the 3rd”. Though suitably cosmopolitan, his full name is a bit of a mouthful, so locals have taken to calling him simply “Murao”. Murao featured as part of Hakuba’s 100th anniversary as a ski town last year. He’s a proficient skier, but has also started snowboarding. He once sat in an onsen for over two hours. He realized he was scared of heights when he visited the observation deck of the Hakuba Jump Stadium. One day, he is looking forward to becoming Hakuba mayor.

 

 

 

 

He is also travelling with one of our path tags, it's his favourite survivor please don't take it off him - he might bite!
