Kushiro City

As Christmas ended, the new year dawned, and Santa Claus disappeared from town, a Santa was found alone in a window on a street corner in Kushiro, Hokkaido. Why on earth could Santa not return home?

The reason why Santa is still at the Shinkin Bank in Kita-Odori is so cute #Santa who missed his way home

Quoted from @yumeirokirin's post

This is the window of a Shinkin Bank located along Kita-Odori Street in Kushiro City, eastern Hokkaido. An adorable Santa Claus is standing with his back to the store. A sign reads, "Happy New Year. The reindeer have already gone home. I'm still here." It's a rather sad message. The post has been reposted nearly 2,000 times, with comments on social media such as "Cute," "A playful sign," and "Cute but sad."

The reason Santa couldn't go home was because of a malfunctioning shutter!

The reason why Santa can't go home. This is tough...

The reason why Santa couldn't go home was quietly written underneath the sign.

*Although we have entered the new year, the shutter is still broken and we were unable to rescue Santa. He is still trapped inside.

If you look closely at the original photo, you can see that there is indeed a closed shutter behind Santa. It seems that the window shutter had malfunctioned, preventing him from physically getting outside.

When I tried to take a close-up photo, I saw a shutter behind me.

They tried to rescue him (?), but to no avail, and he is still "trapped" in the room. It looks like Santa will have to be patient for a little while longer until the shutter is fixed.
