The Tokyo Wild Bird Park is close to Haneda Airport, and as a result is a good plane for spotting both birds and planes.

Thanks Mike! It's about 2km from the piano keys at Haneda runway 16R.

I just found this:
QuoteQuote:
“Alolan Vulpix is known as the Fox Pokémon and thrives in snow mountains,” the official Pokémon site reads. “It was chosen to promote Hokkaido, one of Japan’s snowiest regions. Vulpix, also in the Fox Pokémon category, assists Alolan Vulpix with showcasing the best of what Hokkaido has to offer residents and visitors.”

Thanks Todd! Japan has quite a few unusual paint schemes from manga, anime, movies and TV.
